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

[alikait]

This is the rig with the RTX 3090 on the left.

Added two fans to push cold air at the card to keep it cool, one is cooling the back plate, and the other one on the frame is pushing air at the card.

So i tried ur setup but in my pc case . Got a fan for the backplate and one on the side . Card fans were running a bit lower so 40% instead of 70 to keep the card under 50c .

Tried it with card fans at 90% .

Still stuck at 88-89 mhs .

Really don’t think my trio x as thermal issues .

Flash suprim bios, it's a power throttle for the trio x

My system has now changed since I last posted here.



Now have the following setup, added another RTX 3090 card and moved things around and using fans to keep the back of the cards cool.

New card added EVGA RTX 3090 XC3 Ultra.

2x 1070 Ti's taken out of the system.

Zotac RTX 3090 Trinity moved to the far right.

Not sure if there is a bug in MSI AfterBurner 4.6.3 Beta 4 yet or it's a VBIOS issue, but I need to set the Power Limit to 102% to get the EVGA card to mine at 120Mh/s.



Both cards pull 300 watts each here.

If I remove one of the fans or both, the hash rate drops (1 - 2Mh/s) because the memory gets hot, this is why these fans are there as shown in that picture.

Current speed of the card.

yeah i do this with my three 3080 gpus

No proof (picture), didn't happen.

Just seen an video in another thread..... 

[Seph213]

Hmmm don’t know if i’m comfortable putting a diff bios on the vid card . I never done it before .

Isint it easy to brick ur card when doing that ?

Whats the maximum hashrate people have gotten on the trio x ?

[Metroid]

for this gpu to be worthwhile, it had to be 170 mhs or more, nvidia could have done it, decided not to.

I see you have RTX 3080. I have bought my first RTX 3080.
I use HiveOS latest version with NVIDIA driver 455. Could you tell me your oc setting please ?
The hashrate isnt stable. It changes al lthe time. Do you have any idea about it ?


98.97 MH/s, 98,88 MH/s, 98.94 MH/s,CORE -502, MEM 2300, PL 230

I have one on my test rig

I will post screen shots of simple miner in a bit

core 100
memory 1400
power 220
temp 65
fan 71

[Marvell2]

power use is way too high for that hash ,3060ti and 5700 are better

@philipma1957,

Nice video !!

Other post above here updated

[philipma1957]

you tube video above

below older setup


here is the 3080 running on the other test rig. I did this first before the video was shot.
281 watts to do 94 mh but the psu is bronze and that counts whole mobo



same evga 3080 and same fan as the video

[ManuBBXX]

What about memory temps on 3090 ?
I heard GDDR6X warms a lot.

Maybe mining an other algo less mem intensive would be better for 'memory life' ?

I have a problem with running 2 3060ti on a b250 mbo, with the newest driver the rig works for a random time between 2 to 8 hours then bsod and when it restarts the gpus are not recognized by the system until full shutdown, i set gen1 in the mbo 4g decoding and even c3 state off, blue screen is the nvidia driver dll, tried ddu a few times and reinstall, tried the next lower version driver, changed to a different mbo cpu ram setup..nothing seems to help. I built around 10 amd rigs and i could set them up in a day or two, this thing im trying for a week now. Thanks in advance

nvidia driver might be the issue. There is a hotfix on nvidia website.

The 3090 line are the top hashers but not having the best cost to hash ratio of the 3000rtx series cards.
That belongs to the 3060ti hashing at 66mh/s at 125watts which is even better than the 5700xt cards were doing.
Those were the king of hashrate for a while until these ti cards came along.
Maybe the 3080ti will do 170mh/s mark you are saying to be worth it to mine with. As they were announced to be between the 3090 and the 3080 in performance but not costing as much for the 3090 at a price tag of $1499 MSRP.

66mhs@125W ? oO
I can do nothing more than 63mhs@130W (PL 55%) with my 3060ti TrioX

3060ti at 66.. how many secs? 
In the real world 62

[FloppyPurpleGherkin]

The 3080ti will have a 320-bit memory bus like the 3080.. So expect similar hash rates to 3080.

yeah, it's funny because is TI, 3060ti implies same bit memory as 3070, 3080ti should have the same bit memory as 3090 and its not, so what we see is that 3080ti is a lie. If the 3070ti has the same bit memory than the 3080 and is $100 cheaper then 3070ti could be a winner on eth.

Except the fact GDDR6X on 3070TI and 3080TI runs too hot on memory intensive algos like eth, especially if OC
