The current Lite Hash Rate Nvidia graphics cards leave only appear in third company versions of its GeForce RTX 3080, RTX 3070, and RTX 3060 Ti GPUs as Nvidia has no plans to make Founders Edition versions with the Ethereum hash order limiter in place.

The green team today declared, via a web log post, that all new RTX 3080, 3070, and 3060 Ti cards merchant marine from towards the end of May will come with a limiter that deliberately halves the Ethereum mining performance of the cards when the Dagger Hashimoto algorithm for Ethereum is detected. The limiter was first introduced when the RTX 3060 was released, and after an accidentally released drive made it a moot point a inexperienced driver hinted that Nvidia would re-enable the limiter on completely products shipping from mid-May.

The new Lite Haschisc Rate (LHR) series GPUs will exist selected intrinsically by Nvidia's art card partners, with the LHR identifier listed in retail and on the boxes themselves. It looks like that's only going to apply to cards primitively sold without the clipper as Nvidia specifically hasn't mentioned the RTX 3060 in this release.

That, and the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti boxes we've seen in individual leaks make no mention at all of any LHR series branding. Only it also looks equivalent the Founders Version cards of the original RTX 30-serial publication triumvirate aren't going to get the LHR treatment either.

"Founders Edition is a limited production graphics card sold at MSRP," Nvidia told us this afternoon, "and at this point we assume't give birth plans to make versions with LHR."

That could effectively signal the RTX 3080, 3070, and RTX 3060 Ti Founders Variation cards being completely end of life with no hope of return. But, given totally the rumours floating around recently that take in us expecting a 2021 RTX 30-series refresh, and the fact they've been extraordinary As biddy's dentures since launch, that doesn't in truth seem like a big miss.

So long as that three-fold-axial fan design gets a new whirl with an RTX 3080 Ti Founders Edition et al, I'll still be cheerful.
