Gigabyte's latest RTX 3060 GPUs want to end crypto mining
Gigabyte has followed in Galax's footsteps by launching the new RTX 3060 graphics cards with Nvidia's hash rate reduction technology. As discovered by Twitter info @momomo_us, Gigabyte has released a second revision (Rev.2.0) of its entire GeForce RTX 3060 portfolio, including RTX 3060 Gaming OC 12G, RTX 3060 EAGLE 12G, RTX 3060 EAGLE OC 12G, RTX 360 VISION OC 12G and RTX 3060 ELITE OC. The company's official website confirms that all GPUs arrive as Lite Hash Rate (LHR) variants, which means that the hash rates of graphics cards will be affected in an effort to make them less attractive to users, cryptominers. , and easier to use for PC gamers. put your hands on it.

Beyond the limits of crypto mining, Gigabyte's latest RTX 3060 graphics cards have all the specs you'd expect. Each card has 12GB of memory on a 192-bit bus, and all have GA106-302 GPUs, 3584 cores, 112 TMUs, and 48 ROPs. Gigabyte and Galax are unlikely to be the only board partners planning to upgrade their RTX 3000 GPU lineups in an effort to make them less attractive to crypto miners. MSI, for example, is reportedly planning to release a series dubbed Plus, which will also include an update to its Radeon RX 6000 series lineup. However, it seems likely that the branding could be confusing. While Galax has outfitted its latest GPUs with a "LHR" differentiator, Gigabyte has gone with a simple "Rev 2.0" branding, which could confuse those looking for a new GPU. TechPowerUp notes that there are unlikely to be any packaging differences, as Nvidia apparently prefers that card hash rate limiters be unclear to prevent potential minors from purchasing graphics cards from network channels that aren't specifically. mining oriented.
