Just a few hours in the past, we reported how the newest NBMiner replace had partially unlocked the mining hash charge on NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 30 LHR collection graphics playing cards. The primary mining numbers are in and present that these playing cards are literally delivering as much as 70% of their mining functionality inside the Etherum (ethash) mining algorithm.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 LHR Sequence Graphics Playing cards Examined In Ethereum Mining With Newest NBMiner
The three primary NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 LHR collection graphics playing cards which can be proven within the checks are all ‘Ti’ variants, the RTX 3080 Ti, RTX 3070 Ti, and RTX 3060 Ti. As anticipated, the newest NBMiner updates have partially unlocked (as much as 70%) mining efficiency of those playing cards and whereas it is nonetheless not at one hundred pc, it is higher than the 50% hash charge that miners had been getting previous to this replace. NBMiner can also be anticipating to unlock increased efficiency within the coming updates however that is still to be seen.
So coming to the efficiency numbers, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti delivers round 65 MH/s. The usual RTX 3080 delivered round 90 MH/s (with out tweaks). The RTX 3080 Ti comes with a bigger reminiscence bus and better bandwidth so we’re round 60-65% efficiency of the RTX 3080 right here. The NVIDIA RTX 3070 Ti fares barely higher and delivers round 50 MH/s whereas the RTX 3070 delivered round 60 MH/s. Shifting over to the RTX 3060 Ti, we get round 40 MH/s which is 20 MH/s decrease than the non-LHR variant and 10 MH/s decrease than the RTX 3060 (Non-Ti) which is rated at 50 MH/s. Following are the numbers within the checklist view:
- NVIDIA RTX 3080 Ti (LHR) – ~65 MH/s (RTX 3080 Non-LHR – ~90 MH/s)
- NVIDIA RTX 3070 Ti (LHR) – ~50 MH/s (RTX 3070 Non-LHR – ~60 MH/s)
- NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti (LHR) – ~40 MH/s (RTX 3060 Non-LHR – ~50 MH/s)
RTX 3070 Ti additionally examined. 49~52MH/s

At present, LHR graphics playing cards ship half the entire hash charge that they’re supposed to however with the brand new replace, you may set this worth to 68% (because the developer recommends). This solely works in Ethereum (ethash algorithm) however there is a good chance now that different mining algorithms may additionally undertake it.
This new LHR mode mining replace for NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 collection is suitable with each Linux & Home windows techniques on present NVIDIA drivers. Primarily based on the changelog, it seems to be just like the builders are additionally working to make this unlock work on different mining algorithms. Whereas that is excellent news for miners, it is not really excellent news for the gaming phase which has solely now began seeing some restoration when it comes to provide, availability, and total costs. This replace can doubtlessly result in a surge in demand for LHR graphics playing cards which might result in a fair worse gaming GPU scarcity.
