Why NVIDIA limit miningĭue to the increase in crypto mining, NVIDIA GPU price went so high and looking at the spike toward the demand for GPU, NVIDIA limited the mining by introducing LHR(Lite Hash Rate) RTX GPUs for the same price which won’t compromise with gaming performance, but will have restrictions to mining. The driver contains LHR(Lite Hash Rate) which restricts your GPU from fully utilizing its resources, which makes the mining process poor.

NVIDIA GPUs are extremely powerful for mining, but both game-ready and studio drivers are discouraging your GPU from mining. If you are in doubt, which Graphic Driver is best for mining, well, you might be surprised by the fact that NVIDIA limits the mining process in both of their drivers. Game Ready Driver vs Studio Driver for mining Note: For this experiment, we used GTX 1660Ti Mobile GPU. And what about the Studio Driver, does it perform well in Rendering? Let’s see. Here it is confirmed that the Game-Ready Driver is meant for Gaming. You can try this experiment on your own, and you may get the same results.
