In addition, supposedly there is also some kind of second new option.
The epic with not very clear attempts by Nvidia to block Ethereum mining on its video cards continues. After the mining restriction mechanism was removed in the driver for developers, two news about the hack appeared on the Web at once.
Found the simplest cheap way to bypass mining blocking on GeForce RTX 3060
Firstly, the specialists of the Japanese resource PC-Watch claim that they managed to bypass the blocking. They do not share details, so as not to help the miners once again, but there is no reason not to trust our colleagues. The source notes that hacking does not require BIOS and driver manipulation.
The second option is much more entertaining and simpler. It turned out that a regular HDMI plug was enough for the locking mechanism to stop working. That is, a second video card is needed, which will act as the primary one, and to which the monitor will be connected. Then it is enough to insert a plug into the HDMI port of the second card (RTX 3060), and the blocking is removed. Apparently, the software in this case thinks that this is the first card since it is connected to the monitor.
