EVGA Geforce RTX 3090 XC3 Mining Performance

Hey Crypto Fam,

I hope you are doing well out there, being safe in this crazy world! The video card I was able to test with my buddy Nemisist was the EVGA Geforce RTX 3090 XC3 24 GB GDDR6X. If you have any data on Algos, Miners, or have command-line arguments - parameters that you believe should be used please share with the community below. I will have a possible video recap of our live testing, so check back on this thread for updates. Links to the live stream below. Thanks and take care.

A few key things, mark sure to check any notes under each section for some things we noticed during mining. We were unable to test every single Miner and Algo, but right now the current version of Gminer did not work when mining KawPow - Ravencoin so we had to use T-Rex miner.

Keep in mind these Mining Devs are having a hard time getting the new GPU’s like we are, and it will take time for them to optimize kernels. Not to mention Nvidia putting out Driver revisions so hang tight.

Live testing of the EVGA RTX 3090 Mining Performance https://youtu.be/9TsD2kAcKaA

Phoenix Miner - Ethash

119 Mhs 0 core / 1000 mem TDP - 104% 346 Watts
106.2 Mhs 0 core / 0 mem TDP - 100% 290 Watts
71.58 Mhs 0 core / 0 mem TDP - 80% 284.8 Watts
101.2 Mhs 0 core / 1000 mem TDP - 80% 279.5 Watts
106.2 Mhs 0 core / 1125 mem TDP - 65% 226.6 Watts

Note - ETH pill showed no positive gains, and only introduce instability in the system

T-Rex Miner - KawPOW - RVN

52 Mhs 0 core / 0 mem TDP - 104% 365 Watts
44 Mhs 0 core / 0 mem TDP - 100% 302 Watts
45 Mhs 100 core / 0 mem TDP - 100% 302 Watts
45 Mhs 100 core / 500 mem TDP - 100% 302 Watts
40 Mhs 100 core / 0 mem TDP - 80% 279 Watts

GMiner - BeamHashIII

54.8 Mhs 0 core / 0 mem TDP - 100% 312.6 Watts
54.6 Mhs 125 core / 0 mem TDP - 100% 312.6 Watts
53.5 Mhs 100 core / 500 mem TDP - 100% 312.6 Watts
53.5 Mhs 100 core / 0 mem TDP - 80% 279 Watts
52.5 Mhs 125 core / 0 mem TDP - 80% 279 Watts

Note - Not much performance gain, Miner Kernels need optimizations and seems the software (i.e. MSI Afterburner) adjustments are not doing as much as we would like. Try Nvidia Inspector and see if it works, otherwise during testing, if drivers crash go ahead and restart the system.

GMiner - Equihash 201,9 - Aion

556 Mhs 0 core / 0 mem TDP - 100% 307.8 Watts
568 Mhs 125 core / 0 mem TDP - 100% 307.8 Watts
565 Mhs 100 core / 500 mem TDP - 100% 307.8 Watts
537 Mhs 125 core / 0 mem TDP - 80% 279 Watts

GMiner - Cuckatoo32 - Grin32

1.12 G/s 0 core / 0 mem TDP - 100% 324.7 Watts
0.95 G/s 0 core / 0 mem TDP - 75% 263.4 Watts
0.97 G/s 125 core / 0 mem TDP - 75% 263.4 Watts
0.97 G/s 125 core / 500 mem TDP - 75% 263.4 Watts

T-Rex Miner - MTP - Zcoin

7.09 Mhs 0 core / 0 mem TDP - 100% 321 Watts
7.27 Mhs 100 core / 0 mem TDP - 100% 321 Watts
7.1 Mhs 100 core / 500 mem TDP - 100% 321 Watts
7.29 Mhs 125 core / 0 mem TDP - 100% 321 Watts
5.9 Mhs 125 core / 0 mem TDP - 80% 279 Watts
6.1 Mhs 150 core / 0 mem TDP - 80% 279 Watts

Great breakdown. Thank you for getting this information out!

Yeah great info thanks for putting it up.

I’m interested to see if there are any meaningful improvements as miners are optimised because right now it looks like just another generation of Nvidia overpriced underperforming crap. 4 x RX570s will hash faster on Ethash, use less power and cost a third of the price.

Sure, buy it if you are a FPS game junkie, but avoid it if you are a crypto miner.

Right, AMD RX 500 series is still King! When it comes to price - performance, and I suspect the RX 5700 series will beat out the RTX 3070 as well. However, I am interested in the Big Navi release for two reasons…

  1. to see what the RX 6000 series can offer in improvements, because I believe it might just be a refresh of the 5000 series. Bringing a mild jump in performance, but a nice improvement in efficiency.

  2. I am hoping the new launch will drop prices on the 5000 series, would be nice to grab an RX 5700 series GPU at the price point of $300.
