    RTX 3060 Ethereum Mining Unlocked By... Nvidia's Own Driver Update

    Way to go, Nvidia.

    When the RTX 3060 was released last month, Nvidia said that they implemented special "unhackable" methods that would limit the ability to mine cryptocurrency. This was done in an effort to stop miners from buying up all of the GPUs so that actual game playing consumers would be able to buy the cards instead. That all sounds great, in theory.
