As the mass mining of cryptocurrency has increased with higher priced graphics cards, the demand for higher priced graphics cards has increased exponentially. This means that in some parts of the world their stock has practically run out, and retail prices have skyrocketed. Although the situation in this area is slightly improving, prices are still very high.
Since cryptocurrency miners are very fond of GeForce RTX 3060 graphics generators, Nvidia has long included special restrictions in them, which reduce their efficiency in mining cryptocurrency. This is located in the graphics card drivers. However, since cryptocurrencies are still profitable, computer enthusiasts have discovered a way to completely circumvent the limit set by Nvidia for the desktop version of the GeForce RTX 3060 card.
PC enthusiasts have already redesigned the GeForce RTX 3060 graphics card for laptops in such a way that it can be used in classic PCs. In this way, Nvidia security does not work, because it is not designed for portable graphics cards. In addition, it is very powerful compared to the version intended for desktop computers. It has 3,840 CUDA cores, while the desktop has “only” 3,584.
GeForce RTX 3060 mobile graphics card does more than excellent for mining cryptocurrency. This can reach a capacity of 50MB per hour, which is 40% more than the desktop version. It is currently unknown if Nvidia will have to impose restrictions on mining cryptocurrency for mobile graphics cards. However, this most likely will not happen, because converting them to the desktop versions is not easy.
