The mining application showed that the GPU was using under 150 Watts of power and the GPU temperature was 55C. With the memory set to +1450 MHz and the GPU power limit set to 88% we managed to reach 50.2 MH/s. Reaching over 50 MH/s is possible if your card is a decent overclocker. Getting Over 50 MH/s on the GeForce RTX 3060 Overclocking the memory to +1000 MHz with MSI Afterburner and lowering the power limit to 88% we managed to hit just shy of 48 MH/s. 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. This means that all that clock speed over 1,250 is 'extra' and unecessary! It's going to throttle down your system GPU.Ĥ) In MSI Afterburner, slide the Core Clock slider as much as you can to the left.Ħ) Arrange the points so it looks like this.ħ) Click the apply button (very good sign) and you're done, you can close the Curve Editor.NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 3060 launched to much fanfare as they were able to decrease cryptocurrency mining performance. So here's my quick guide to better temps with minimal performance loss.Ģ) Open it and use it to monitor GPU clock speed, temps, fps etc - Take notes.ģ) When the GPU thermal throttles you'll notice because the core clock speeds decreases exponentially (mine went from 2,000 + Mhz to 1,250ish Mhz) and noticed a high temp of 87C. Temperature was rising fast and at 87C, the Mobile 3060 starts to thermal throttle REALLY BAD. So today I undervolted my gaming PC and I had great results, so I thought I'd give it a try with my gaming laptop.Īnyways, after lots of monitoring, I noticed my 3060 was running at absurd speeds for a laptop GPU, upwards of 2,040Mhz.
