Zotac, which is one of Nvidia's exclusive add-in-board (AIB) partners, has launched its RTX 3060 Lite Hash Rate (LHR) series of graphics cards today. The LHR series which is also officially being unveiled today by Nvidia is alleged to feature a new ethereum mining limiter.
Zotac posted about the event on Weibo with an image that apparently provides (via Expreview) a comparison list for the previous non-LHR models alongside their corresponding new LHR versions. Interestingly, there are a few brand new models too that didn't have any non-LHR versions at all.

In order to distinguish the LHR models from the previous non-LHR versions, it seems Zotac has added either a 'G' or a 'GE' to the names. Other than the names, we don't have information on the hardware specifications of the cards nor do we know how they look. If previous LHR launches are any indication, like that of Gigabyte's, then the LHR models won't be different from the non-LHR ones barring the presence of the new mining limiter.
