How to identify LHR and non-LHR on RTX 3070?

[Shou Miko]

Yesterday I traded my RTX 3090 for a RTX 3070 plus dough because the games I play even at 4K it wasn't really doing anything other then being over expensive for me.

I originally wanted a RTX 3080 / RTX 3080 Ti but no one wanted to trade because their cards was too powerful for them same excuse.

The box reads model ROG-STRIX-RTX3070-08G-GAMING and part no. 90YV0FR1-M0NA00

Which should be this: https://rog.asus.com/graphics-cards/graphics-cards/rog-strix/rog-strix-rtx3070-o8g-gaming-model/

I know there is V1 and V2 versions of the RTX 3070 from several manufactures but this doesn't say anything so is there a way to figure out which version I got?

GPU-Z will show it as "(LHR)" in the GPU name field

Yes because it was too over powered for my uses the last game I played where I needed the power was in September.

Look, I've taken some vallium to calm my nerves after your shocking, tabloid revelation, so please don't shock me any more.

But seriously, with the insane prices that those things go for nowadays, you must have made a nice wodge of cash from it. Smart move.

I made an "inadvertently smart move" when I bought my 2080 SUPER (see specs) back in March 2020. It was supposed to be a temporary card until the the 3080 came out and then go on eBay, but then this situation happened, so I still have that card and it's still pretty good. I was previously back on a 780 Ti, after THREE GTX 1080s died on me, the latest one after two years of use and mostly on the desktop. Playing the latest games on that 780 Ti was painful, I tell you. I'd have still been stuck with it had I not bought the 2080.

The 2080 brought with it a critical feature too: integer scaling. This means that I can run my second monitor, a 4K model, at 1080p with no irritating forced aliasing blur. Seriously, a 1080p desktop looks better on that with integer scaling than on a 1080p monitor, as there's 4 real pixels for every virtual one. This gets rid of the screendoor effect and the pixels are more well defined. The other option is to run it at 4K, but with a Windows scale factor of 2. This gives you a 1080p sized desktop, but with 4K resolution on everything and looks awesome! For practical reasons though, it's usually better to run it at 1080p.
