It seems plausible given stuff like this:
"A developer driver inadvertently included code used for internal development which removes the hash rate limiter on RTX 3060 in some configurations," the company said in a statement. "The driver has been removed."[1]
So it's hard to tell when it's binning, and when it's hobbling.

- tyingq 5y agoYeah, they were not clear :) “It’s not just a driver thing,” said Bryan Del Rizzo, Nvidia’s head of communications, last month. “There is a secure handshake between the driver, the RTX 3060 silicon, and the BIOS (firmware) that prevents removal of the hash rate limiter.”
