Comparison Asus GeForce RTX 3060 Dual V2 OC LHR vs Asus GeForce RTX 3060 Dual 12GB

Video cards, hardware-protected from mining. The term Low Hash Rate was coined by NVIDIA to discourage cryptocurrency miners from video cards and return the favor of the computer gamer audience. There are LHR versions of video cards only among the generation of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3000 series. Early GeForce graphics accelerators have no factory mining restrictions, as well as all old and new AMD Radeon graphics cards. However, among the GeForce RTX 3000 series there are video cards without LHR.

The frequency of the graphics processor of the graphics card. As a general rule, the higher the frequency of the GPU, the higher the performance of the graphics card, but this parameter is not the only one — a lot also depends on the design features of the graphics card, in particular, the type and amount of video memory (see the relevant glossary items). As a result, it is not unusual for a model with a lower processor frequency to be more performant of two video cards. In addition, it should be noted that high-frequency processors also have high heat dissipation, which requires the use of powerful cooling systems.

Backlight synchronization technology provided in a graphics card with an associated design.

By itself, synchronization allows you to "match" the backlight of the graphics card with the backlight of other system components — the motherboard, case, keyboard, mouse, etc. Thanks to this matching, all components can change colour synchronously, turn on / off at the same time, etc. Specific features the operation of such backlighting depends on the synchronization technology used, and, usually, each manufacturer has its own (Mystic Light Sync for MSI, RGB Fusion for Gigabyte, etc.). The compatibility of the components also depends on this: they must all support the same technology. So the easiest way to achieve backlight compatibility is to collect components from the same manufacturer.
