Nvidia owes miners an explanation, I give it!

Does Nvidia's new RTX3060 really limit the mining rate of Ethereum?

The picture below is the evaluation of SerpentXSF, a professional miner on YouTube, on 3060 mining Ethereum. We can see that the maximum computing power of 3060 mining Ethereum is only 25.95M.

However, the maximum computing power of the 3060Ti can reach 62.8M, which is 2.4 times that of the 3060.

Then compare the computing power of the Nvidia 30 series graphics cards that we have sorted out before. It is certain that, as we know before, the 3060’s limit on the mining computing power of Ethereum may exceed 50%.

The only discrepancy is that the first batch of miners who obtained 3060 graphics cards and conducted evaluations believed that Nvidia did not reduce mining efficiency through graphics card drivers as previously reported, but restricted Ethereum mining at the BIOS level .

Miners will not be able to crack the 3060 as Nvidia wishes.

In addition to the 3060 graphics card, all 30 series high-end graphics cards produced by Nvidia in the future will be equipped with the Ethereum mining limit function;

So if you happen to be a gamer, you can buy a 3060 graphics card to play games during the day and mine at night, but there is no economic value in mass deployment.

However, fortunately, 3060 only restricts large algorithms, and small algorithm currencies can still be mined.

We have sorted out the test results of more than ten algorithms by SerpentXSF, and provided you with the 5 most valuable and dignable currencies. For details, please see the figure below
