  LHR stands for 'Lite Hash Rate' and it is a feature introduced by NVIDIA on their RTX 3080 graphics cards. This feature is designed to limit the mining performance of the GPU, making it less efficient for cryptocurrency mining. By reducing the hash rate, miners are less likely to purchase these cards for mining purposes, as they are not as profitable as non-LHR versions. This move by NVIDIA aims to make their GPUs more accessible to gamers and reduce the impact of mining on the availability and pricing of their products.
