However, we still have the feeling that inventive tinkerers with a financial incentive to continue using the cards for mining will eventually emerge victorious. At this time, NVIDIA has not detailed how its second-generation Ethereum controls will work, but we'd assume that it will be harder to defeat this time around. Bypassing the limiter in multi-card systems was also easily achieved by using dummy HDMI plugs. However, the limiter was quickly defeated in single-card systems with a beta graphics driver. This was a ploy to make the cards less palatable to Ethereum miners and improve inventory for gamers.

According to NVIDIA, the Ethereum limiter included on the first revision of GeForce RTX 3060 cards used a combination of hardware, driver, and BIOS tweaks to cut mining rates in half. These graphics cards are now listed as Revision 2.0, as opposed to Revision 1.0, which included the first-generation Ethereum limiter.

NVIDIA's GeForce 466.24 driver confirmed that this change was on the way, stating, "This driver updates the hash limiter for the GeForce RTX 3060 12GB and is required for product shipped starting mid-May." Gigabyte's LHR series is currently limited to its GeForce RTX 3060 family, which includes the following cards: We've heard about upcoming GPU revisions for the GeForce RTX 30 Series with a second-generation Ethereum limiter onboard, but Gigabyte is among the first to post actual product pages confirming the change. Gigabyte today made its new Lite Hash Rate (LHR) GeForce RTX 3060 cards official.
