Can determine manufacture date of FE card from serial # or outside of box?
Seller has some Ti FE cards (legit, have seen boxen.) I want to be sure these are old stock FE FHR cards but how to be sure?
if I can tell date of manufacture I can know if these are new or got stuck in a shipping container for 9 months. But how can I tell?
Anyone know how to date an FE card without opening the box? I was hoping the serial # might tell.
Thx.

ALL ti’s are LHR. Even Founders Editions. The only current one’s not LHR are the 3070FE, 3080FE and all 3090’s.
3060TI FE is not LHR.
My fault, you are correct sir.
Yeah I didn't realize it either until my first BB drop.

That's bizarre. Why the 60 Ti's are FHR (those would be the gamer focused/specific card) but the 70 and 80 Ti's are not?
I would think the 3060Ti you got from the BB drop that is FHR might have a very early manufacture date (in the 30xx cycle) but I'm not sure how you check that. GPU-z has a "release date" field but idk if that equates to manufacture date or not.
Nvidia isn't changing their 3060TI on FEs to LHR.
Idt that's true. Their own page says 3080, 3070 and 3060Ti after May '21 is LHR.

Can you check the "release date" on your FE in gpu-z?
Thanks but that's why I was looking for a way to date the card.
We know a lot of merch got holed up in stuck containers. How do we know if it's a "current" FE or one of the older ones?
Also, were FE Ti's LHR from the very beginning? I dont' remember that being the case? At the outset of the 30 series, nothing was LHR.
The ti’s came out later so the 3070 ti and the 3080 ti came out when LHR was starting so they got hosed on that and since there were no regular 3070 or 3080 ti’s to compare them to, they’re just considered LHR, there was no regular version of the 3080 ti, they have ALL BEEN LHR. The founders edition is not exception except that the 3060 ti, the 3070 and the 3080 are non LHR. If the card it a 70 ti or 80 ti it is LHR.
