In order to solve the problem of the RTX 3060 mining limit being cracked, NVIDIA announced this month that it will launch the RTX 30 series LHR (Lite Hash Rate) version that uses an updated GPU chip and adds mining power limits. It must be used with a new driver. However, NVIDIA did not release relevant test data at the time, so many players were very curious. How much has been castrated? Recently, actual testing has finally come out, and it is indeed emasculated in half, and the mining power is only half at the beginning, unlike before, which was reduced from full to half.
New RTX 3060 LHR and RTX 3080 Ti mining computing power measured and exposed
Recently, China EXPreview took the lead in getting the new ZOTAC RTX 3060 LHR graphics card, and conducted the most curious test of the remaining mining power. As you can see from the picture below, the RTX 3060 LHR has only 20~22MH/s hash power at the beginning, and the power is 119W. The previous RTX 3060 mining limit started at 40MH/s and then gradually decreased to 20MH/s:
There are also some actual game tests in the video, but there is no comparison with the previous RTX 3060, so I am not sure if there is any difference, but logically there should be no:

In addition to the RTX 3060 LHR, China Weibo also showed the mining computing power test data of the RTX 3080 Ti. The computing power is 58.04MH/s and the power consumption is 299W. The representative said that this card does have mining restrictions:

The picture below is tom’s HARDWARE The test data, based on the computing power of the RTX 3080 Ti, is worse than the competitor AMD’s RX6800, which means that it should be able to effectively prevent mining problems. After all, this computing power is basically unprofitable (plus the price has fallen sharply recently):
After the LHR (Lite Hash Rate) version of the RTX 30 series is launched in the future, RTX 3080, RTX 3070, RTX 3060 Ti and RTX 3060 will all have the word LHR on the packaging, so miners don’t have to worry about buying the wrong one. RTX 3080 Ti and RTX 3070 Ti will be LHR as soon as they are launched, so they will not be marked separately.
As for the RTX 3090, the price is already very high, and few people will use this card for mining, so the LHR series did not update the RTX 3090 this time.
