NVIDIA is offering many new cards with the LHR feature that is intended to slow down crypto mining and therefore make those cards undesireable for crypto miners. Will LHR also have a negative effect on crunching numbers for MW@home, WCG or other distributed computing projects? |

No Thanks, and your answer is based on what? Any more details to explain this, please? |

This might explain it: https://www.pcworld.com/article/395041/nvidia-lhr-explained-what-is-a-lite-hash-rate-gpu.html Unless the LHR cards are running the ETHash mining algorithm of Ether, the Nvidia drivers do nothing to any other code running on the card. The LHR mechanism looks specifically for the ETHash code. Since no project application contains any part of the ETHash code, all project applications or any other application other than ETH runs at full speed. If you run any other mining algorithm like what is used in Ravencoin, Ergo, or Conflux, the cards will run at the full hashing rate with no penalty or reduction. |
