I heard that crypto miners were buying up a lot of GPUs, and it was causing some supply issues. I'm wondering if Nvidia, as a major GPU manufacturer, tried to step in and prevent miners from purchasing too many of their products.

The LHR technology was specifically designed to drastically reduce the efficiency of mining Ethereum using these GPUs.

The main purpose of the LHR was to constrain the mining capabilities of the GPUs.

Despite these measures, crypto miners were still able to find alternative methods to bypass the LHR.
