What motherboard you have?
I also have a amd ryzen 7 2700x and amd ryzen 7 3800x.
I don't support LHR due to if you notice that is a way for nvidia to do software limiting performance levels after some time we will see the truth about LHR how bad or good it is in the long run. Lets hope this isn't Nvidia's New way to gimp gpus in the long run.

Msi Gaming pro carbon b450. I regret it now, since this one has pcie 3.0 and would be limiting the fastet M.2 ssd i plan to buy. The reason i got the LHR restricted GPU is because there were nothing else to buy( kinda). Performance might be lower than the non-lhr card , but that card is also a bit more expensive.

PCI-e 4.0 SSDs are pointless for the majority of users buying them because they aren't pushing demanding enough data loads for 4.0 bandwidth to actually be used. It's not like it's running at the max bandwidth that 4.0 supports constantly, not at all, it depends entirely on the load on the SSD in a given moment, and most loads are barely stressful at all which is why in most instances you won't notice a difference between SATA3 and PCI-e 4.

So I wouldn't worry about it. 4.0 is too expensive to be worth it for most users, and it might require a PCI-e 4.0 compatible processor. (i.e. Ryzen 3000 series or newer on B550/X570, Intel 11000 series on B560/Z590)

Another retro machine picked few days ago:

Mobo - PCChips M726 3.4A
Chipset - ALi ALADDiN Pro II
CPU - Intel Celeron 466 on slotket (PGA370 => Slot 1)
RAM - 256 MB SDRAM PC133
GPU - Diamond Viper V770 32 MB AGP
Audio - SoundPro HT1869V+ (integrated in mobo)
Storage - Seagate Barracuda ATA II 13,5 GB
PSU - AT type
OS - Windows 2000 SP4

Nice.
A Celeron 466 is what replaced my 486sx back in the day. Unfortunately it was an eMachine, bought at Costco. So onboard graphics. No AGP slot. 32 MB of RAM. Still, it was a big freaking upgrade from our 486, and I finally got to enjoy games like Duke Nukem 3d. I remember struggling to run Ultima 9. Actually, I probably dodged a bit of a bullet there.

Its not like NV is the first to try it... Intel already gave it a go, and dont kid yourself both companies would *love* to sell you slightly gimped chips and then pay to upgrade...

Dont you remeber those times Intel came up with the option to go online and buy a software OC package direct from Intel? One that on locked non-overclockable chips unlocked things like higher speeds, more physical cache and even HT ability, all with nothing but a software gimp at sale followed by a purchaseable software unlock afterwards?...

https://www.anandtech.com/show/4621/intel-to-offer-cpu-upgrades-via-software-for-selected-models

People look at what Intel has already openly tried and look at the LHR cards, and see the writing on the wall. Just b/c it failed a decade ago for Intel doesnt mean consumers are not stupid enough to fall for it now 10 years later with NV cards... Nothing will stop them from trying if they think they can get away with it, not when it can lead to more money within each individual segment through minor knee-caps that consumers simply buy out of.

I'd never heard of Intel having done that before, so thanks for the source.

Regardless, I still don't get the concern that it will be a gateway method to broader performance limitations, because...

A. Performance is and has been for decades already been "limited" through a countless number of methods, no? There's segmentation with the Quadro versus GeForce and Radeon versus Radeon Pro/FirePro, then you have the K SKUs as a whole, there's motherboards that can tweak things (like "overclock RAM") and those that can't, there's the binning process and lower end CPUs in particular typically end up being more limited than higher end ones (which is why the highest % overclocks in the Core 2 Duo days typically always came from those with a lower base starting clock speed). There's already segmentation which includes "performance limiting" if we want to be frank about it.

B. It still doesn't make sense to me that this could become a big enough strategy throughout the entire lineup because when you sell a physically bigger chip, it costs more, so if you sell it and the user doesn't upgrade, you just "lost out" versus selling them the same performance they have with a smaller chip. Granted, I don't know the ins and outs and nuances of the market but it currently seems to make little sense to employ such a strategy widely.

It's worth pointing out that this method is already employed by software as a means of segmentation. You have things like Windows any-time upgrade and games with day one DLC and such. Should Windows Home version users be calling foul that their OS is being "limited"? I personally don't think so. Microsoft offers the extra features for more and you are free to get or free to get Home cheaper and not get them. If anything, that upgrade being there allows you to get it without paying full cost. With hardware, it's different. Namely because it has more of an individual cost relative to software.

Am I saying I like this? No, but it really does sound more like complaining from miners than anything else. Complaining that a company can't take away your freedoms and tell you what to do is interesting to hear (not saying you do this but just using an example I see) because that implies one has control over how a company offers their own products to begin with. The free market works both ways. If one doesn't like what a company offers, they are free to not buy it. The extent of one's influence begins and ends there mostly. We are also free to complain, but unfortunately that alone tends to do little. Get in line behind me complaining about constantly rising costs of mid-range performance. The only voice companies hear is that of level of profits. GPUs with LHR will sell though, so complaining won't change it, just like GPUs with rising costs are selling so my complaining about it won't get one in my possession at a cheaper price.

And another retro machine rescued from e-waste container. These old computers have got "something" gaining attention ;-)

Mobo - Asus P/I-P55SP4 1.4
Chipset - SiS 551x
CPU - Intel Pentium 150
RAM - 32 MB SIMM (there was 96 MB, but I move 2x32 MB to my other old PC);
GPU - ATi WinCharger Mach64 2 MB (from my backup, because originally placed here Mach64 1 MB is dead);
Audio - Aztech Sound Galaxy NX Pro 16;
PSU - AT type Linkworld, unknown wattage (no marker on model table - I think it offers 200W).

No storage and OS, because original hard disk (WD Caviar 21000) was broken, so I left it in container. I have a plan to put there ~2 GB HDD and Windows 95 OSR2.

I have a gaming laptop. I'll probably get clowned on but hey, at least I haven't gotten any third-degree burns yet!

-8GB Ram
-Nvidia 1650Ti Graphics Card
-AMD Ryzen 5 5600H + Radeon Graphics, 3.30 Ghz
-1080p Monitor, 144hz
-PC034 Pictek Mouse (Pretty good mouse for only 30 dollars. I got it when it was for 10 on amazon)

It's an HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop. Costs about 1k on their website but I got it for 800 at Micro-Center

Good specs

[prospex]

I call this one, the "I'm going to game with '8' cores, 32gb of RAM, on a budget"
Specs: HP DL360 G5 w/ 2x Xeon E5410, 8x 4gb RAM, 146gb 15k rpm SAS drive to boot, 2.5tb of extra storage, dual PSU's, and a GT 610, (all of this for just $20, all I paid for was the GT 610 and extra power supply, everything else was pulled from a decommissioned data center)

Computer assembled and running. The hard disk is Samsung SV0511D 5,1 GB and audio device is ESS AudioDrive ES1868F (Aztech doesn't want to run under Windows 95 - maybe it's caused by drivers problem).

1080p WHAT with that setup you can easily do 1440p and even some games in 4K.

At the expense of not putting ALL graphic options on max... That's simply why I bought this system. Since I am short on space here, sitting right in front of my old monitor I might as well keep it at that (for now...).

My back up system has a 2080ti in it, around the same as a 3070 and do 1440p with max settings and 4k with some settings toned down.
