You can download this driver on the NVIDIA developer page here (membership required). Nothing was required other than changing the driver.

We were getting just under 22 MH/s with the stock settings on our MSI GeForce RTX 3060 TRIO X Gaming card.Īfter updating the system to NVIDIA 470.05 drivers we ran the miner again and we were getting just under 42 MH/s. Our test system had NVIDIA 461.72 drivers installed already and we fired up T-Rex v0.19.12 and did some baseline ETH mining. We’ve been able to confirm this ourselves today on our video card test system. This beta driver can be installed on any system and does away with NVIDIA’s anti-mining work. Microsoft simply released GeForce 470.05 drivers in the Windows 10 Insider ring. It wasn’t hacked by a foreign criminal organization or some 8-year old in the basement of their family home. Sadly, we can confirm the hash rate limiter on the NVIDIA Geforce RTX 3060 has been broken. The hash rate limiter required a secure handshake between the driver, the RTX 3060 Silicon and the vBIOS. NVIDIA even touted that this was “not just a driver thing” to the tech press. At $329 MSRP it was supposed to be a card for gamers that Ethereum miners wouldn’t buy by the truck load. NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 3060 launched to much fanfare as they were able to decrease cryptocurrency mining performance.
