Nvidia released LHR graphics cards in early 2021. These cards were offered to players to prevent cryptocurrency miners from purchasing all graphics cards. Because the players were experiencing a shortage of graphics cards in the market. The company started releasing these versions of its graphics cards, starting with the RTX 3060. Still, this plan doesn’t seem to be going very well.
New software released on GitHub by a user bypasses the hash limiter of these graphics cards, making graphics cards much more powerful for mining. The speed of each unlocked video card was reported by the Chinese tech site MyDrivers. So all Nvidia graphics cards are back to full mining power.

The software actually includes a third-party graphics driver and BIOS. So you download it entirely at your own risk. Nvidia does not offer any guarantees. If it still works, all these Nvidia cards might be more attractive to miners.
Currently available graphics cards in the market need a BIOS update to counter this situation. At this point, it is unlikely that Nvidia will easily remove the workaround. This is not the first time this has happened to the company. It seems that the prices of graphics cards may increase again.
