在二月中旬，英伟达官方宣布将对之后发售的 RTX 3060 显卡挖矿能力做出限制。其软件驱动将自动检测挖矿程序是否运行，一旦运行则会把哈希率，也就是加密货币挖矿效率下降 50%。不过因为一个意外，RTX 3060 对挖矿效率的限制被英伟达最新上线的 470.05 beta 版驱动给解锁了。在发给外媒的声明中，英伟达确认「一份开发者驱动程序无意中包含了内部开发的代码，在特定设置下，该代码能够移除 RTX 3060 哈希率的限制」。目前该驱动已经下架，但考虑到已经上传到了网络上，有心之人应该能够很轻易地找到驱动原文件。英伟达对 RTX 3060 的挖矿限制今后可能无法轻易成效，需要更完善的加密手段来进行补救。英伟达在此前还宣布过会推出专门的挖矿显卡 Cryptocurrency Mining Processor（C
In mid February, NVIDIA officially announced that it would limit the mining capacity of the RTX 3060 graphics card to be sold later. Its software driver will automatically detect whether the mining program is running. Once running, it will reduce the hash rate, that is, the efficiency of cryptocurrency mining by 50%. However, due to an accident, the limitation of RTX 3060 on mining efficiency was unlocked by NVIDIA's latest 470.05 beta driver. In a statement to foreign media, NVIDIA confirmed that "a developer driver inadvertently contains internally developed code, which can remove the restriction of RTX 3060 hash rate under specific settings.". At present, the driver has been taken off the shelf, but considering that it has been uploaded to the network, people with a heart should be able to easily find the original driver file. NVIDIA's mining restrictions on RTX 3060 may not be easily effective in the future, and more perfect encryption means are needed to remedy it. NVIDIA also announced that it would launch a special mining graphics card cryptocurrency mining processor (C
