3090Ti or 3090

[S3300]

Can you buy a 3090Ti for mining or 3090? I heard the difference in performance is not big, the information I found online says 135MH on 3090ti even if you can get this card for MSRP is it worth it since 3090 is very close in performance too.

I preferred to bet on 3080 Ti which are for me the best ratio for future crypto like Ergo, RVN and more

All Nvidia high-end GPUs are good for other algorithms like Flux, Ergo and RVN including RTX3070ti and RTX3080, OP trying to choose between 3090 and 3090ti is not worth it because there is only a 15-20MH difference, go for the cheapest.

You can use for example a calculator on the website hashrate.no to see the performance and approximate revenue when using the 3090ti and compare with others, as well as the approximate payback period and it will not be in favor of the 3090ti.

I don't want any of these two graphic cards for one reason, they get high temp after a few months of running them for mining, you will enjoy them for a while probably for 4-5 months and the high temp will come out of nowhere.

[Daltonik]

Yes, temperatures, especially of memory chips, are indeed a problem, which, however, is solved with the help of undervolting or using immersion baths, but there is still an ever-increasing energy consumption, which after the release of 4090 at which TDP is expected to be more than 600W.

From this list the best from Nvidia is A5000 because it has the GDDR6 memory compared to the other cards of Nvidia here which all have the GDDR6X and we all know the temperature problems they have.Only the price is somewhat high at near 2000-2300 USD now at Ebay and international markets together with the cooling,these cards have blower cooling style so additional cooling is needed.For me this is the best choice from the ones in the list once price is not a problem and consequently additional cooling too.

Not if you consider ROI.

That chart is comparing LHR vs non-LHR hash rates, note the 3080 has a higher hashrate and lower power
consumption than the 3080ti. If LHR mitigation wasn't considered these results aren't very realistic.

There's a big price premium on 3090 & 3090ti and the main feature for mining is no LHR. Whether it's worth
the price is a matter of personal opinion.

The RTX A series all the way, these cards are more costly but you won't have to face any heat issues like those RTX 3080 and 3090s, if you want a higher-end GPU like 3090s then buy RTX A5000.

Well, it's just the same 3080 with 24Gb of memory, but at a whiter price, I don't think it can be a good choice, it's better to use the 3090 in my opinion, so it's not an option.

They save lots of spaces that's why they are better GPU for building mining rigs, anyone that wants to embark on 3080s and 3090s journey they should be ready for all the extra cooling too, its not as if they are impossible to cool.

Totally agree. I stop getting high end Nvidia cards for this. You have to slow down then if you want make then last, i hate change the thermalpads, soo a card that say on a webpage 124 mhs you have to make it work at 100 mhs if you want make it last.

[Pterosaur]

If you are so into RTX 3090 and 3080 be prepared to start changing their thermal pads with a copper plate or copper shim a few months later, after using these copper mods you will enjoy mining on those cards.

I would buy 2 AMD Radeon RX 6800 video cards instead of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti and get the same profit for the same power consumption, but I would not have problems with overheating. 3090Ti or 3090 are good video cards, but they are not for beginners in mining, because any mistake is a big loss.

[arielbit]

it is like r9 290 vs r9 290x

maybe 3090ti usefulness is to lower the price of 3090? LOL

A5000, 3090, 3080, 3080ti....a good bullrun will put all of these out of shelves, people panicking to grab any of those cardss, all will ROI.. LOL

hell even gpus from graves are will be dug up

Yep I read about this 4090 using 600Watt online, I'm guessing and thinking how this GPU will perform in cooling, a powerful GPU that uses 600watt can't be cool using a thermal pad and paste, I hope Nvidia knows what they are doing this time around, we dont want to experience RTX 3080s and 3090s all over again.

600w is already an appliance wattage level, imagine having an oven toaster inside your computer case LOL

[legcramp]

3090 Ti all the way, the increased in density for the VRAM GDDR6X and all of them sitting on the front of the PCB makes a whole world of difference for cooling and maintenance work. You don't need to add active cooling/heatsinks to the backplate anymore like you do on the RTX 3090 to get better VRAM temperature.

I think this is the maximum power consumption, but the real power will be about 300-400 watts. At 600 watts, a more modern cooling system is tedious. Although AMD had a dual-chip AMD Radeon HD 7990 graphics card that consumed about 500 watts, but the miners used it with the correct settings and downvolting, so its consumption was about 350 watts.

Like 295x2 is 500w too

600w is a new paradigm.
