Is there a known workaround for NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti LHR?
Does the beta 470.05 driver work?

Not. But, it seems NBMiner manages to overcome part of the limitations caused by the LHR:

I don't know if it's really like that, because I had no way to test it.

Asus Workstation series motherboard WS Z390 PRO for socket 1151 seems to have different PLX chip, so it should support 4 GPU in x8.
Did anyone try this MB?

Yes,
Is necessary to use the Beta driver 470.05 but other condition must be met:

- PCIe connections 16x 3.0 or higher (16x risers can be used)
I think the GPU bios check if the connection is 16x 3.0 or higher and if there is a monitor connected.
It would be good if someone figured out how to get around these restrictions ...

OK! Thanks.
I only have, first install the driver before the Windows do it alone... Roll Eyes

I am thinking of buying this GPU.

From what I read, if the GPU is connected directly to the motherboard, the PCI x16 plug, and has a monitor connected, mining runs smoothly. That's it?
Or is it necessary to also use such a developer driver?

Not necessary a monitor, the hdmi cable itself is enough. You can remove the monitor. Or use a hdmi dummy.

But, even using the main GPU, is it necessary to use the Beta driver?

You can download it from here: https://mega.nz/file/rE1E0JCS#-xL0bc6t2UiuiZ0Vtc-I9hcqGhV0UIr0B6FKJcdy_kE

You need to have monitor plugged in (or dummy plug), and at least X8 PCI-e speed. I'm running 3x 3060 in X99 mobo, but its also possible to run even 7 with x16 risers and appropriate mainboard.

Thanks. This will not be a problem, because it will also be the main GPU of my PC.
Of course, this, in some moments, will bring lower profitability. It will be a management issue.

I dont think they will find solution for this in coming future:) so far it was only coincidence ppl are able to mine with 1-3 cards(depend on mobo) but no real wa/crack has been found yet.

The 470.05 beta driver is required. I have a 3060 and use it for octopus for the time being, which is not throttled regardless of driver version.

Where can I get this Beta driver?

An x8 PCIe connection or better seems to be a requirement.

THW has declared the block dead based on the leaked driver, HDMI dummy plug & x8+ workarounds.
IMO that's not dead.

This doesnt show anyone using 1x risers they are either plugged into 8x or 16x pcie slots or using ribbion cables because the GPU's wont fit directly on the mobo.

https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-geforce-rtx-3060-successfully-used-in-7-way-mining-rig
This is the most recent one where people are confused, but you can see the 16x ribbon cables being used and its only a few server mobos/CPU's that can support 6-7 pcie8x lanes.

Works on x1 risers if you plug in a hdmi dummy plug. Nvidia 470 beta drivers can handle 6++ 3060 cards in the rig mining fullspeed without any problems (with 6 hdmi dummy plugs installed).

Source? Everything I've seen is 16x extension ribbon risers and specific server mobos.

Has anybody managed to remove the limiter while using a x16 to x16 riser? My stupid fucking motherboard has the 2 pci3 slots too close to each other and my 2 3060s won't fit at the same time.

Works for me, at least with one card.
