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

[philipma1957]

Arent 5700 XTs the way to go? Whern optimized, theyre doing 55 Mh at about 90w.

Never seen any 5700xt consuming 90w, my best 5700XT uses 105w at software and 130w ~ 135w at the wall, and I achieve 54Mhs without bios mod
With bios mod I can do 56Mhs but with more power consumption

5600XT use 90w at software and 100w at the wall - 40Mhs or 43 bios modded

3060tis = 61Mhs - 140w at the wall
3070 = the same as 3060ti

3080 = 95Mhs to 100Mhs with 250w at the wall

All the cards are good choice right now

I am liking my 3060ti. it earns 5 usd a day on nice hash.  the rig a 1 card rig burns 200 watts at the wall so 5 kwatts a day. about 50 cents . 

So I net around 4.50 a day

110 days to payoff .. as it was an aorus card.  which was more costly premium model and a very slight markup.  What is cool is I used 6 month interest free on PayPal.  So they is a very good chance of paying it off in far less than the 180 days I have to pay it. off.

I found strange problem with 3080 i have.
I had 2 3080 before, and bought another 2.
1 Zotac amp Helo works in windows and another PNY under hive.

Today i`ve puted another 2x3080 by zotac, and 1 have problem to rise power limit over 185W - both under hive - same rig.
i`ve set 0, 250 - no change. Even 160 does not work.

Any1 know the sollution ?
please - dont tell me it`s throttling - THAT card has 44C, the one nest to it - 49. The one in windows PL65(220W) - 55-60 - fan at 60%.


edit
After few settings wariations, with 99% Fan, it gets 192W and 83Mhash....Core temp 41.

So 3060TI seem to be the best value for mh.

For the price of a 3080 u get 2 3060ti’s which give u 120mh instead of 100 from the 3080.

Am i missing something ?

Space density for some, more 3080 cards in a setup = more hash for same space.   Resale value on the 3080s will be better too.

in somme cases 3080 maight be better
as usual, it depands

What do you mean ?

[ummasek]

I play games, 40 is my age and i do play - PC MASTER RACE ;>
My windows rig, mine on it`s free hours - 3080 is must have in this case.
It`s mining while playing Fortnite 30mhash :/

But on the other hand, 3060Ti has best power/hash ratio and if i know correctly, no thorttle problem at all.

But on another hand, i cant get 3060Ti anywhere, so i bought another 3080, couse i could find somme

[philipma1957]

Yeah the newbie is right 3060ti seem to be best at power for hash.

3080 are more dense

My 3080 does 95 mh at 230 watts. this is 2.42 watts per mh

my 3060ti does 60 mh at 125 watts this is 2.0833 watts per mh

But price of the card matters
and availability matters.

I am only mining so for me I take

any and all of the below

amd 5500
amd 5600
amd 5700
nvidia 3060ti
nividia 3080

they need to be at a decent price and available and I buy them.



In a magical world. I would take all 3060ti's put them on an onda d1800 board.

I would have 4 cards per board

1 zotac zt-a3061e=10m
3 evga 08g-p5-3667-kr.

 this mobo would do. about 240mh at about 600 watts and just run baby.

I would have 50 mobos set this way total of 12000mh or about  890 usd of eth a day.

Problem is I can't get enough cards for 1 or 2 mobos no less 50.

Thats nice and all but theres a flip side to this . If cards were this available difficulty would go up and u would be doing less and less every day weeks month as more and more people add mining rigs .

Now is the time to be mining when cards are hard to find . Had i known it would be this profitable i would of pre ordered a bunch since release day .

[ummasek]

If i could, i would buy just 3060Ti.
13 Gpus per rig 2 psu. thx

I have random models, random manufacturers, random all.....
Driving 150km around visiting ppl/shops and ripping thiers GPU out of them...sad time for everyone.

So understand me, when i`m writing, that 3080 could be a good choice. Understand me, when i`ll say, that for a simple reason, 3090 is a better choice - i can buy it.

If it is available and price is not stupid high it is worth it.

[ummasek]

Nice think

Best profit for  now = (Price * Power Usage)/HashRate * HashRate - Lower number is better.
Actual prices, tells me, that 3080 is as good, as 5700 on micron.
1660 s/Ti little behind 3060Ti, but the winner is 5700 on samsung.

Make calculation for yourself based on your price and hashrate.
It helps me decide, shouyld i buy or not.

3090’s is never good for mining or gaming . The msrp is way 2 high for hashing

For gaming that 10% performance is not worth the price difference with the 3080’s .

I think 3090 is better for mining in all aspects except price. But now, when 3080 availability is zero and prices are very high, 3090 is rather attractive even in price sense. Here we have 3090 for 2k$ and 3080 for ... 2k$

Well i’m comparing mrsp prices . I can easily make a 6 gpu rig with scalper 3080’s at 1700-1800 cad but thats pointless . In a month or 2 stocks will be replenished and more miners will come online . Diff will go up .

Buying a 3080 at 300-400$ premium will set back ur roi by 2 much .

Then factor in EIP 1559 , you’d barely turn in a profit by the time eth 2.0 rolls out (if out in 2023) .

3080ti should be more dense and should be the best power for hash...if nvidia can deliver a new king.

nvidia said 3080ti's on indefinite hold until supply of current cards adequate.

then the suppose to be king might be late for the party...just like the radeon Vii LOL...and for sure hbm2e is going to be very late hehe

Isn't it a world record in terms of efficiency among gpus?

0.62mhs per watt
rtx3070 for laptop - new queen!

[tg88]

0.62mhs per watt
rtx3070 for laptop - new queen!

Really impressive, could you share the clock and power settings?

I believed that the 3070s worked with a good efficiency around 62 / 63mhs. Do you have a special secret to reach 66 mhs?
