  LHR, or Lite Hash Rate, is a feature introduced by NVIDIA to limit the mining performance of their GPUs, specifically for Ethereum mining. This feature reduces the hash rate of the GPU, making it less efficient for mining Ethereum. The purpose of LHR is to discourage miners from using gaming-focused GPUs for mining and instead encourage them to purchase dedicated mining GPUs. This has caused a shift in the GPU mining industry, as miners now need to consider the LHR status of GPUs before investing in mining equipment. While LHR has affected the profitability of GPU mining, it has also led to the development of alternative cryptocurrencies and mining algorithms that are more GPU-friendly.
