Nvidia GeForce 522.25 driver update released
The chip and supply crises that started with the pandemic period caused technology companies to experience production problems. With the increasing cryptocurrency mining activities in 2020 and 2021, it became impossible to find a graphics card. Making a statement about the RTX 40 series in the past days, Nvidia came up with a news that will please the miners for its old models.
Nvidia announced that they will stop the stock issue by adding the LHR (lite hashrate) feature, which is a hardware-level limitation to graphics cards. Video cards with LHR feature limit instant processing power while mining.
The world is not ready for this power! NVIDIA o card shelved
NVIDIA recently introduced the new GeForce RTX 4000 series graphics cards. The RTX 4090Ti, which is not mentioned here, appeared today.
Miners continued to purchase RTX 30 series cards as the company accidentally released drivers with the hashrate limiting feature turned off. Ethereum, the cryptocurrency where the most mining activities take place, caused many people to sell their graphics cards after the new update. After the number of graphics cards increased in the second-hand market, Nvidia removed the LHR feature in its drivers to make room for the RTX 40 series by melting stock.
A Reddit user discovered that he could reach high hashrate values without any intervention with his LHR-capable graphics card. Under normal conditions, users with a video card with LHR can reach high values with mining software such as NiceHash and NBMiner that disable the limiter in software. It is worth noting that the LHR feature has been removed with the GeForce 522.25 driver update released by Nvidia.
