Earlier this month, Nvidia confirmed plans to re-introduce the RTX 3060, RTX 3070 and RTX 3080 with ‘Lite Hash Rate' GPU revisions to reduce crypto-mining performance and get more graphics cards into the hands of PC gamers. Now, these LHR graphics cards are starting to land in the hands of …

Following Galax's announcement, Gigabyte is now the second AiB partner introducing its new RTX 30 series cards with LHR chips. Expect more manufacturers to join Gigabyte and Galax in the coming days and weeks. The new cards were initially spotted by @momomo_us, who also shared links of the rev 2.0 …

It looks like Galax won't only release RTX 3070 and RTX 3080 cards with the crypto mining limiter. Recently, the company added RTX 3060 and the RTX 3060 Ti graphics cards with the ‘FG' naming to their website, which means they have their Ethereum mining performance halved. From what we've …

We test our first PNY GPU since 2019 - the RTX 3060 XLR8 Gaming

Nvidia will soon be correcting its mistake with a new crypto-mining limiter for the RTX 3060. The patch notes for Nvidia's latest graphics drivers confirm that the mining limiter will be updated, but only for GPUs shipped from mid-May onwards.  The patch notes of the graphics driver 466.27 confirm the rumour …

It seems that Nvidia's RTX 3060 won't be the only SKU featuring the crypto mining limiter. We've already heard rumours that the RTX 3080 Ti may come with the limiter in place, but new sources point towards the whole RTX 30 range being updated with it.  According to new reports, …

Back in February ahead of the launch of the RTX 3060, Nvidia announced plans to limit mining performance on future GeForce graphics cards, starting with the RTX 3060. Unfortunately just a few weeks later, Nvidia accidentally shipped a beta driver without the limitations in place. Now, Nvidia looks to be …

Earlier this week, we learned that crypto-miners have managed to bypass the RTX 3060's mining hash rate limiter. It turns out that bypassing the limit is now even easier, as Nvidia released a beta driver without mining protections in place.

The GeForce RTX 3060 has been on the market for a few weeks now, complete with Nvidia's new anti-mining measures in place. As you may expect, groups have been working to crack Nvidia's anti-mining tech since the launch and now, it would seem that someone has successfully managed to crack …

This graphics card is barely longer than a PCIe slot - but can it cool an RTX 3060?

This graphics card is the same size as MSI's RTX 3090 - so how does it perform?

Gigabyte is about to launch its Aorus RTX 3060 Elite featuring a “Neonpunk” design, a triple-fan cooler, screen cooling, and dual BIOS. This is set to be Gigabyte's fastest Aorus RTX 3060 in terms of factory overclock. The triple-fan cooling system consists of 3x 80mm fans lubricated with graphene nano …

RTX 3060 has arrived and we test the Gigabyte Gaming OC model. How fast is this GPU?

The RTX 3060 is just a couple of days away from launch and as a result, early performance benchmarks are being posted fairly frequently. The latest tests show RTX 3060 performance in Ashes of the Singularity, giving us a glimpse at how the new card compares to its predecessor, as …

Nvidia had a fairly big announcement this week, revealing plans to limit the mining hash rate of the RTX 3060 to discourage cryptominers from buying up GeForce GPUs intended for the gaming market. At the time, we knew that this limit would be introduced in the RTX 3060 drivers, but …

As we all know, graphics cards are in very short supply right now. In the case of Nvidia's RTX 30 series GPUs, some launch-week pre-order customers are still waiting to get their card due to long queues, meanwhile, much of the stock being made is going out to crypto mining …

Last week, reports indicated that Nvidia would be launching the non-Ti variation of the RTX 3060 later this month and now that February 25th launch date is confirmed. Aside from confirming the launch date, Nvidia has also confirmed a few key specs for its upcoming entry-level RTX GPU. The RTX …

We've been expecting Nvidia to launch the non-Ti variation of the RTX 3060 soon but now we seem to have a proper launch date. According to reports this week, the RTX 3060 will launch in just a couple of weeks.  According to sources cited by wccftech, Nvidia has begun telling …

During CES 2021, Nvidia announced the RTX 3060 graphics card, scheduled for a late February release. While Nvidia set the MSRP of this GPU at $329, early listings for board partner cards indicate that pricing will be significantly higher than that at launch.  

While the Nvidia RTX 3060 graphics card was announced during CES 2021 last week, the full specifications for the new GPU were not detailed. Fortunately this week, board partners are beginning to confirm key specs for the graphics card as custom-cooled solutions are being prepared. During the RTX 3060 announcement, …

After Nvidia officially unveiled RTX 3060 yesterday, many AIB partners have since announced their custom-cooled GeForce RTX 3060 graphics cards. While we can expect more models to trickle through over the next few days, we've already seen quite a variety of RTX 3060 cards announced from the likes of MSI, …

As part of Nvidia's keynote at CES 2021, the company lifted the lid on the long-awaited RTX 3060. Shipping with 12GB GDDR6 memory – more than the RTX 3060 Ti and RTX 3070 – this GPU is expected to hit shelves (or at least, attempt to) in late February. While …
