Driver that promised faster Ethereum mining for Nvidia GPUs is full of viruses
Both Nvidia and AMD have made changes to their gaming GPU lineups in an effort to make them less appealing to cryptocurrency miners, including releasing mining-specific GPU models and making entry-level GPUs with specs that aren't good enough for mining. One of the most significant changes came in mid-2021, when Nvidia released "Lite Hash Rate" (LHR) versions of its RTX 3000-series GPUs that halved their performance when mining Ethereum or similar coins but didn't affect their gaming performance. Cryptocurrency miners have tried to circumvent the LHR limitations in a bunch of ways since then, including by using ... (full story)
