I think that all the video cards that are now sold in stores are LHR. Except for founders edition (FE).
Even if I were a gamer, I would not buy the LHR version, because they have no right to restrict my actions.
I hope that after the decline in demand for video cards, Nvidia will begin to incur losses, because gamers will start choosing video cards from AMD.




Gamers are way too loyal to Nvidia. I don't think they will incur losses. With how big their company is at the moment they don't need miners buying their GPUs. When its earnings they post futures guidance without any miner revenue. IF they really cared they would of released those GPU mining specific video cards like in the past. Which is smart because it doesn't have displays so gamers won't buy them, only miners and has a shorter warranty. Then when the mining boom is done, the market won't be flooded with gaming GPUs but only mining GPUs which won't affect their GPU gamer sales.

AMD is also pretty big too, however I think they know that miners always prefered AMD throughout the years, especially during the litecoin/dogecoin days when nobody used Nvidia to mine and that they won't pull the plug on us miners. Remember when the RX series GPUs started to suffer with a reduced hashrate as the DAG went up? Well they actually released drivers to fix this issue called Compute mode. Wonder if Nvidia would do anything similar.
