A Few Questions

[Jacobplayz]

So I've been contimplating which GPU to buy for a build I'm making, and I had a few GPU questions

1. What is a LHR (3060 ti LHR)?
2. 3060 12GB or 3060 ti?
3. What are the differences of a founders edition card (3060 ti Founders Edition)?
4. What is the average lifespan of a GPU?

It is from the mining days where they limited their ability to mine (except, it wasn't very successful @ this)

What usage and resolution? Why only these two?

Do you mean before it dies, or before it is obsolete for...?

In my price range, 1080p @240hz, Gaming and video editing

Before it dies

That's nearly an impossible question to answer. In an ideal world, a given PC part will run more or less until the silicon is too degraded to continue working, but almost anything else will fail before that, even in the most optimal setup.

 

Personally, I tend to upgrade my systems every 4-5 years as my use cases evolve and parts age.
