It’s easy to find the sweet spot this way. If that doesn’t drop the hash rate, I’ll drop it further until the card slows down.

I usually start the GPU at or around 80% power. I’ll go into detail on overclocking but in summary, the goal is to get a good hash rate with less power and therefore lower temperature. Enter this, and you’ll find yourself in the NiceHash Dashboard.ģ080 RTX ti OC settings with Afterburner for NiceHash You’ll receive a verification code in your email inbox. You’ll need to verify your identity later on, but getting started is pretty easy.

NBminer, in particular.īut remember – don’t run before you can walk. This is why we’re looking at NiceHash Miner first – some of the plugins that are available through the software have really strong LHR unlock capability. Red Panda Mining on YouTube upgraded his Inno3D 3080 Ti iChill X3 to the EVGA XC3 BIOS and gained an even-higher 91MH/s.Īs a rough guide, my 3080 to is hashing at 90.6 mh/s – not as great as Red Panda but I can live with that! You can flash these cards with NVflash but – if you’re not sure what you’re doing, carry on researching and take your time. That bios can work on non-EVGA 3080 ti cards too, with some owners reporting really strong results even outperforming the EVGA cards. Gaming performance was inadvertently affected by the hash rate limiting on the EVGA FTW3 cards, so that’s why a bios patch was released which could be installed on your EVGA device via their Precision X1 software. Firstly, there are now flavors of the 3080 bios that virtually unlock the hash rate on the card by solving a power limiting issue.

I don’t use LHR cards on my mining rigs as I prefer not to mix between the two types of cards.īut mining is easily possible and in some cases, especially with the 3080’s, the hash rate performance of the cards is very close to the full-fat non-LHR equivalents.
