NVIDIA announced the LHR line of cards that halve the mining performance to protect the card source for gamers

After all, NVIDIA finally announced the LHR line of graphics cards with Ethereum mining performance halved.

As information has been leaked many days ago, NVIDIA recently announced LHR cards, which they “remastered” to reduce mining performance in order to reduce the purchasing power of farmers and protect the source of gamers’ cards.

They will range from the RTX 3060 to the RTX 3080, using the newly modified chip. The codenames of these cards will replace the last zero with a 2, such as GA102-202, GA04-302… The new generation GPU chip has been modified to halve the Ethereum mining performance, as this is the coin. Cryptocurrency is being mined the most and has the biggest impact on the graphics card market.

NVIDIA also emphasized to manufacturers of custom graphics cards that they must be labeled on both the box and on the body of the card so that customers can clearly know which version they are buying. This is most likely a move to “split the market” by NVIDIA to sell LHR cards to gamers and regular cards to anyone, including miners, but at a much higher price.

However, LHR is one thing, whether the card will drop in price or not, we still have to see if it continues to be unlocked by “Chinese magicians” or if NVIDIA “accidentally” revealed an open update. Is the coin mining key the same as last time?
