LHR Graphics Cards: Hashrate Limitation and Workarounds
When graphics cards stopped being just graphics cards in the mid-2020s, even seasoned industry veterans scratched their heads. Lite Hash Rate , or LHR , was how NVIDIA decided to designate the forced limitation of the computing power of its flagship linear cards in an attempt to at least somewhat tame the cryptocurrency apocalypse. It seemed like just yesterday that RTX cards were freely mining Ether, but by the summer of 2021, the corporation announced that new batches of RTX 3080, 3070, and 3060 Ti would be shipped with a reduced hashrate. The manufacturer thus halved the speed of calculating the Ethash algorithm, and symbolic "Lite Hash Rate" stickers appeared on retail product descriptions.
