Q: What hdmi cable would be best? I intend to use lg c1 48' for display, so would the rocketfish 4x hdmi 2.1 cable work? Thanks.

A: If you plan to use a higher bandwidth HDMI connection, it will require a higher bandwidth cable.

Q: Is this product LHR?

A: Best Buy please read the box and confirm the LHR on the box? Simple question, quit being evasive. "Because these GPUs originally launched with a full hash rate, we want to ensure that customers know exactly what they’re getting when they buy GeForce products. To help with this, our GeForce partners are labeling the GeForce RTX 3080, RTX 3070 and RTX 3060 Ti cards with a “Lite Hash Rate,” or “LHR,” identifier. The identifier will be in retail product listings and on the box."
