A new update published by NBMiner seems to have partially bypassed NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 30 LHR series mining hash rate limit. In the changelog, NBMiner reports that users can unlock up to 70% of the maximum hash rate on their LHR graphics cards which could push miners to purchase the LHR series, hence leading to another supply shortage.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 LHR series was introduced to limit the mining hash rate on the entire gaming graphics card lineup. This was done as miners were gobbling up entire stocks of GeForce RTX 30 series GPUs due to their great mining capabilities. This led to a huge shortage of gaming graphics cards which consequently led to higher prices within the retail segment. It is only now that we are seeing the market recover and prices of gaming graphics cards return to normal.
