Cryptocurrency has proven to be the bane for DIY gamers in the PC segment. Coins like Ethereum have driven GPU prices 3-5x the MSRP for most cards and scalpers have added fuel to an already delicate situation. The end result is that gamers cannot get their hands on any GPU unless they go through an AIB waiting list procedure (which can take multiple months) or buy a multiple generations old, second-hand GPU. In an attempt to curb this and make GPUs available for gamers, NVIDIA introduced the LHR or limited hash rate series with the RTX 3060. Their upcoming flagship GPU, the RTX 3080 Ti will also be an LHR variant and the mining performance of this card has been tested for the first time.
