Wondering where they disappear from the shelves and digital stores NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080? Of course, into the hands of miners who mine cryptocurrency using their farms. So, one of them is an American named Simon Byrne – boasted of his rig, which consists of 78 video cards.
With power consumption 300 watts this installation for crypto mining will need at least 23.4 kW power for work, and several air conditioners for cooling.
Official price of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 starts at $ 699, but due to a shortage now they are sold for about $ 1199 each one. Thus, only the cards in this setup cost approximately $ 93 522… If you take into account the power supplies and other related costs, for the sake of such a farm you will have to pay about $ 100,000… The electricity rate in Las Vegas (where Byrne lives) is 8.43 cents / kWh… He gives only for video cards $ 1444 per month or $ 2166 per month, taking into account cooling costs.
Let’s continue. Each GeForce RTX 3080 graphics card has a hash rate 83.57 MH / s using the algorithm Ethash (Phoenix)which should generate approximately 0.22236870 ETH for the amount $ 165 per month. So, an installation of 78 cards should generate 17.3447586 ETH for the amount $ 12,840 per month. After deducting the cost of electricity, we get a net profit in the amount of $ 10 674 per month or $ 128 088 in year… It is estimated that the farm owner will recoup the cost of the entire installation by a little in less than 9.5 months…
