Are the Nvidia 3000 Series the BEST GPUs for MINING EVER?! RTX 3070, 3080, 3090

[rdluffy]

Phoenix Miner - ETH
85 Mhs   0 core / 0 mem   TDP - 100%   320 Watt
91.5 Mhs   0 core / 500 mem   TDP - 75%   240 Watt
96.3 Mhs   0 core / 950 mem   TDP - 75%   240 Watt
95.4 Mhs   0 core / 950 mem   TDP - 70%   225 Watt
96.5 Mhs   50 core / 950 mem   TDP - 75%   240 Watt
96.5 Mhs   100 core / 950 mem   TDP - 75%   240 Watt

Two 5700xt hashes 108Mhs with 230w to 250w power consumption
Three 5600xt hashes 114Mhs with 255 to 270w power consumption

There's no big difference in terms of efficiency, at least in my opinion
Maybe the new navi cards will increase this efficiency

Most Nvidia cards I used to reduce TDP to 60% without any decrease in hash, but this 3080 looks very hungry power

In my country it's almost impossible to get one, there's no cards to buy, even the 3090 are out of stock

Right now, I would not touch any rtx 3080 at all, too many issues but as soon as the issues are fixed then I will think about buying one. The good thing about the 3080 is that you get a good performance without the need to change the bios, flashing bios can be very painful, I never bricked any but is better if you can avoid that. Also for management 1 card is better than 2 cards, in the long run running systems with 1 card the uptime is a lot better than running with 2 cards, so the uptime the 1 card instead of 2 provides pay off the electricity, I mean, take for example a system with 6 gpus and then a system with 12 gpus. The uptime a system with 6 gpus will be at least 5% more than the one with 12 gpus, also the more density it gives the less you need to spend with a second system, example, motherboards, memory rams, motherboard and so on. It may be unnoticeable for some people but every time a system restarts you lose from 1 to 10 minutes and sometimes you lose a lot more than that, so if a system restarted 4 times per day then you may have lost almost 1 hour and that is a lot. Well it is something to think about.

if i could find a 3080 blower style i would buy two or three. say 3 for 2000 or 2100.

nvidia tend to run more stable.

 I have two empty boards. a six slot  and an eight slot.

14/2 = 7 slots doing 85 mh = almost 600 mh. 

if i use 5700 xt we are doing 7 x 50 = 350 mh.

a lot more hash in the same spot more stable.

cross post this from another 3080 thread...on the bigger scheme of things.

even expanding to bigger mining farms (scaling), density is still a "major" feature. imagine managing 30 cards vs  300 or more cards, with bigger farms you will have another headache/expense --->someone/ a person skilled enough for that additional management/troubleshooting etc., space/shelves, and electrical lines and outlets etc..

at the bigger scheme of things, managing 500 cards vs 1000 cards you'll get how much reduced work is the 'minus 500'.. at 30 cards vs 60 cards you might not feel the 'extra work' very much.

remember ASICs expensiveness/price are not just derived from just being efficient it is also derived from being dense. like 1 unit for (insert very high hashrate here)

anyway what i would like to know about 3080's is this...gamers run at 100% tdp (the issues is here) since it is all about fps, but miners run at 70-80% tdp, at 70-80% tdp are these cards stable?...it seems stable enough.

New Update miner tests:

Nbminer=93.79Mhs (Fee 1%)
Phoenixminer=93.3Mhs (Fee 0.65%)
Etherminer=92.72 Mhs (Fee 0%)
All : Core 0 Mem 1200 PL 215


It seems that best miner for Ethash now is Etherminer... If you are not able to run it, it is because you need to modify it and build it another time. If someone need it contact me and I send it. For a big Rigs it is a big quantity of has if we count the time that takes the change and the return of the DevFee.

I can arrive to 100Mhs but I prefer to be conservative:

[batsonxl]

i think 3060 and 3070 will be favourite card for miners. ofcourse lets see what surprise AMD has for us......

[FP91G]

rtx 3070 was promised to be shown to us in November 2020. November is already ending, and there is still not a single leak about the Ethereum hashrate.
I am sure that these video cards have already been produced and are already on their way to various stores around the world.

Since when is November ending?
On my side of the planet it’s not arrived yet.

Official sales of the 3070 should begin in 7-8 days. These video cards are already in warehouses in stores.
I read in the news today in the news that on October 30 stores will start selling these video cards.

The 3070 will be the greatest xx70 failure of all time to date. People will prefer to buy a 3060ti or a 3080 than the 3070 hehe

Are you sure you can buy the 3070?
They will be snapped up by bots and store employees.
A friend bought 10 RTX 3080 at $ 1000 apiece. He uses 6 pieces for mining, and he sold 4 pieces at $ 1,500 apiece within 2 days. Profit

I hope he sells the other ones he has because from the last leak, rx 6800xt is as fast as 3080. Nobody will pay more than 1000 usd for it in few days.

nvidia 3080 price ended in $1000 or more, not around $800. competition is good, i have no problem switching back to AMD cards once i see good hashrates.

10 RTX 3080s? Isn't that ½ of what nVidia produced in the first batch? I kid I kid, it's a quarter.

Sometimes it's just easier to make money flipping the cards instead of flipping the bits. I made more money selling power supplies and 4 year old hardware than I did mining for about 4 months. I'm surprised the DeFi thing lasted as long as it did.

BTC broke $13K, maybe ETH will go for a 2nd run. It's back over $400 but hashrate is up 50% from 3 months ago.

DEFI fees made a lot of people start mining again and then the same DEFI fees are making and made many to leave mining again hehe

People mining eth are hanging in there for now because no eips that reduce eth mining reward got through yet.

Do you have data on this leak? After all, it can be a good advertising move from AMD.
If new AMD video cards have a high hash rate and the same energy consumption, then there will be very few of these video cards in stores.

For example, I buy 2 pieces of 5600 xt:
80 mh  $ 680 and 170 watts of consumption.
Will the new cards be better?

AMD cards usually are better to mine ETH and will probably be more efficient than 3080 doing 100mhs with 250w

Thanks. Today I bought video cards in a large store(One of the 3 largest stores in Russia) and asked the sellers about the RTX 3070. In a week the sales should start, but there are no video cards in the central warehouse.The order Manager told me that.
I was offered to buy RTX 3090 for $ 2617

My Gigabyte 3080 drops hashing after mining for a minute or two.

Tried changing risers and power connectors to no avail.

I have Silverstone Platinum PSU 1200 W.

The hashrate drops on both everything stock and TDP at 80 or 70 or any other value as well.

I have the same issue as you, with an RTX 3080 Gigabyte Eagle OC. Starts out at 88Mh, slowly dropping to 77Mh.
I installed the GPU straight on the motherboard. I noticed that the reason for this is that the core clock is dropping automatically to around 1000Mhz for some reason.
Also, total power consumption according to Phoenix miner is around 200W. (same thing with Claymore btw)

Did you find a solution for this problem? Thanks
