Crafty hardware manufacturers started turning Nvidia's laptop GPUs into desktop models in order to bypass the LHR restriction that blocks crypto mining.
Despite Nvidia’s recent attempts to limit crypto mining on its GeForce RTX 30-series graphics cards, GPU sellers and manufacturers have found a workaround — repurposing mobile cards into custom desktop versions.
Cryptocurrency mining feels a bit like a never-ending story — as soon as Nvidia comes up with a way to end it, someone, somewhere, will find a workaround. As you may know, Nvidia’s RTX 30-series graphics cards come with a Lite Hash Rate limiter, which, in theory, should render them ineffective for mining cryptocurrencies. Be that as it may, mining enthusiasts found ways to make the GPUs efficient at mining.
There is no telling how long it will take for the mining capabilities to be restored to 100% this time around, but miners can simply choose not to install the new drivers and carry on. However, for those who don’t want to limit themselves, Chinese manufacturers came up with a new idea — turning laptop-only Nvidia graphics cards into full desktop GPUs.
On paper, the whole process sounds really simple. The manufacturers simply take an Nvidia mobility GPU out and put it on a desktop-grade PCB with a cooler attached. Unlike traditional mining cards, they come with display outputs and can also be used for other purposes, such as gaming, once their mining tenure comes to an end.
