Production of the GeForce RTX 3080 , RTX 3070 and RTX 3060 Ti LHR anti-cryptocurrency stripping is launched. With the hope that the miners will not rush over when they will be available in a few days ...

The shortage of graphics cards does not seem to be absorbed, and most analysts now expect the situation to improve which should not take place before 2022.

NVIDIA is trying to meet demand from gamers by making its graphics cards less efficient for cryptocurrency mining.


A reduced hash rate

The American manufacturer has announced the launch of GeForce RTX 3080, 3070 and 3060 Ti LHR (for Lite Hash Rate).

For gamers, these GPUs are just as satisfying as the original models. But for miners, as the name suggests, they offer a much lower return with a much lower hash rate.

All new RTX 3080, 3070 and 3060 Ti graphics cards are now manufactured as LHR. The first units will be available for sale from the end of May 2021.

Graphics cards already produced are not affected and NVIDIA does not anticipate any new inventory of Founder's Edition with LHR.

Resellers should specify whether they are selling the original version or the LHR version of a graphics card. The words "LHR" will also appear directly on the box of the products concerned.


NVIDIA graphics cards, a valuable sesame beyond gamers

NVIDIA previously announced that all of its new entry-level RTX 3060 series graphics cards will have a reduced hash rate.

The goal is to deter cryptocurrency miners , and in particular Ethereum, from buying GPUs en masse, leaving nothing but crumbs for players wishing to upgrade their configuration.

», NVIDIA explains that the versatility and power of its GPUs make them desirable to audiences other than gamers, such as scientists for generating weather simulations, for DNA sequencing work, for deep learning, etc.

Miners, who partly broke the market, should now find less interest in it...
