I've got an RTX 3070 in my main box right now. Currently I choose not to run it for mining processes because I want the hardware to last longer and don't want to pay for 10x the idle power costs. 300w is a lot of wall power, a non-negligible amount of money and potentially a sustained 80c+ heater in my room until I turn it off.
That's just me. 100k downloads disagree apparently, but I do question how many people would stick with this in the long-run.
- Rudgers 3y agoCompletely understandable, though you would be profitable at $.1/kWH (https://www.nicehash.com/profitability-calculator/nvidia-rtx-3070 https://www.nicehash.com/profitability-calculator/nvidia-rtx...). At what earning threshold would you consider it worth it to let it run when idle? $1 a day? 2? 5? Our AI workloads would be a lot better than current mining profitability
