I have a 3090 and cheap-ish electricity. Is it actually worth doing GPU mining again? I thought that died out long ago.

- bseidensticker 6y agoMining bitcoin no, but other cryptocurrencies yes. Sounds like with the run crypto is on right now, you can make some pretty decent money.
- bigiain 6y agoNot for Bitcoin. Other crypto currencies can work better though. https://www.nicehash.com/profitability-calculator/nvidia-rtx-3090 https://www.nicehash.com/profitability-calculator/nvidia-rtx... Claims you can earn ~$17 per day if you can get electricity to 10c/kWhr running a single RTX3090 but that's all mining Etherium (DaggerHashimoto) not BTC.
- deepakhj 6y agoThe 3090 runs super hot. You probably want to look into a heatsink/fan for your vram. https://www.reddit.com/r/EtherMining/comments/loxagu/improved_vram_cooling_on_124mhs_3090/ https://www.reddit.com/r/EtherMining/comments/loxagu/improve... https://www.tomshardware.com/how-to/optimize-your-gpu-for-ethereum-mining https://www.tomshardware.com/how-to/optimize-your-gpu-for-et...
