Called the Nvidia RTX LHR V2 Unlocker, the device will be available from February 26.
In an effort to prevent cryptocurrency miners from jumping on its RTX 3000 graphics cards, NVIDIA offers LHR versions (Light hash ratio) Since last May. As the name implies, these cards have a lower hash rate compared to the regular models. Over the months, various methods have been developed to restore the full capacity of the RTX 3000 LHRs, but so far none have been completely successful. Many sites, including VideoCardz, MyDrivers or Tom’s Hardware US, have dedicated an article to the Nvidia RTX LHR v2 Unlocker tool. It is expected to be available in beta from February 26, which will restore their full potential to the RTX 3000 LHR.
The author, a particular BySergeyDev, argues that it is “The first fully automatic BIOS converter for RTX cards with LHR V2 lock. Its use is simple, intuitive and requires no advanced knowledge.

Performances were announced
According to the explanations given on GitHub, The tool modifies the BIOS of LHR cards and installs a new driver for Windows (or another OS). The author writes: “Changing the BIOS is not enough to reset your graphics card to its full hash. You also need the graphics drivers I modified. They will be automatically downloaded and installed on Windows during the program installation. If you use another OS like HiveOs. Then you need to manually install the drivers according to the instructions in the DRIVER_INSTALATION.txt file in the application installation folder. ⁇
BySergeyDev guarantees performance below. About the RTX 3000, Hash ratios are more or less compatible with non-LHR RTX 3000s.
| Graphic card | Hash ratio |
| RTX 3080 Ti | Up to 115 MH / s |
| RTX 3080 LHR | Up to 100 MH / s |
| RTX 3070 Ti | Up to 69 MH / s |
| RTX 3070 LHR | Up to 57 MH / s |
| RTX 3060 Ti LHR | Up to 61 MH / s |
| RTX 3060 LHR V2 | Up to 49 MH / s |
| RTX-A5000 | Up to 110 MH / s |
| RTX-A4500 | Not measured |
| RTX-A4000 | Up to 67 MH / s |
| RTX-A2000 | Up to 46 MH / s |
Advised to be cautious
So Sergey will release his Nvidia RTX LHR v2 Unlocker tool on February 26th. As it stands, we can only advise against attempting this: Downloading and installing files from unknown sources is generally prohibited.
Graphics Cards: Prices continue to fall
If this tool proves to be secure and effective, there is no guarantee that it will have a major impact on the demand for RTX 3000 graphics cards. Recent Weeks: For new entrants, All break-even points for the RTX 3000s are now over 400 days, Whatever the reference. Also, an upcoming change to the proof-of-stock system for Ethereum will require modifying the cards (no wording).
