Guide / Discussion - How To Identify LHR (LITE HASH RATE)/ Hashrate Nerfed GPU Models

All right folks this is a guide about how to identify LHR graphic cards!

How I gathered this information? Simply from the information I gathered from my other thread/question ( https://www.reddit.com/r/EtherMining/comments/o67c1w/identifying_lhr_models/ ). Almost very information here is provided by our beloved redditors! But with that being said, please be noted there are some opinions as well as facts stated here. What we are trying to achieve is to help each other to identify upcoming LHR models. So please respect each and every redditors input. We are here to share the knowledge, not to fight with each others.

- How to identify 3070/3080 LHR models -

First of all please do note that 3070Ti /3080Ti are KNOWN LHR MODELS. with that being said, Folks please refer this link to see latest 3070 LHR models for several GPU brands

· ASUS – LHR will be marked as version 2 (ex - ROG STRIX GeForce RTX™ 3070 V2)

· MSI – LHR will be marked along with the SKU (ex - 3070 GAMING TRIO PLUS 8G LHR) just like ZOTAC

· EVGA – LHR will be marked along with the SKU as “KL” (ex - 8GB GDDR6 08G-P4-3080-KL). As facts, they have listed new 3060 Ti model along with “KL” + "LHR". Please refer https://www.newegg.com/evga-geforce-rtx-3060-ti-08g-p5-3663-kl/p/N82E16814487540?Item=N82E16814487540 (ignore the out of stock warning and see the tile of the product)

· GIGABYTE - LHR will be marked as version 2 / rev. 2.0. According to recent information received from TheRealThatOneUnit NOT every Gigabyte/Aorus REV 2.0 cards appear to be 'LHR' variants. Please refer this comment

· ZOTAC - LHR will be marked along with the SKU (ex - RTX 3080 Trinity LHR or ZT-A30800D-10PLHR) – this is a fact because go over to their website and you can see that https://www.zotac.com/product/graphics_card/all

· PNY - LHR will be marked along with the SKU (ex - PNY GeForce RTX 3070 LHR 8GB UPRISING Dual Fan). Link - https://videocardz.net/pny-geforce-rtx-3070-lhr-8gb-uprising-dual-fan

· Latest LHR 3070 cards will be marked as LHR or can be identified by GPU chip number GA104-302 instead of the old GA104-300

· Latest LHR 3080 cards will be marked as LHR or can be identified by GPU chip number GA102-202 instead of the old GA102-200

Here are some good article related to latest LHR models with new GPU chip numbers

- How to identify 3060 LHR models -

We all know that these series cards are meant to be LHR models and only old models/prior released models will be able to bypass the hash rate. I have tested the bypass method with my old MSI RTX 3060 (RTX 3060 VENTUS 2X 12G OC) and it works.

· Please note that EVGA 3060 with KR/KB SKU models are NOT v1 models (software bypass method working model). Even though they have KR/KB SKU, they are still latest version/V2 LH models.

· Latest 3060 will be marked as LHR or can be identified by chip number GA106-302 instead of the older GA106-300

One last thing I will update the original post whenever I get/see some new info from you guys and hope it will be much easier you to read the OP to get to know about LHR.

**** Update here is one place/list of 3060 LHR GPUS (means these are V2 3060 GPUs which will NOT work/unlock full hash rate even with " 470.05 drivers" for Ethereum
