Palit GeForce RTX 3070 GameRock Ethereum Mining Rig

The latest craze on GPU mining for Ethereum and the ensuing Nvidia RTX 30 sequence scarcity in addition to just about anything with first rate mining efficiency for Ethash is in full on mode. Nonetheless now we have managed to get our fingers on a couple of Palit GeForce RTX 3070 GameRock GPUs and constructed a 6x GPU mining rig utilizing them for ETH mining, so under we share some attention-grabbing issues together with the Ethereum mining hashrate we bought and the optimized settings for the RTX 3070 and extra particularly the GameRock sequence from Palit that now we have used. As you possibly can see from the picture above the GameRock is a bit flashy by way of design as a result of giant RGB lighting floor. A characteristic which could be of curiosity for a gamer, however is completely not required by a miner because it makes no completely different in anyway by way of efficiency. Nonetheless, the excellent news is that the cooler of the GameRock GPUs from Palit is with a big floor space and does an ideal job in preserving issues cool and the followers are additionally twin ball-bearing ones and carry out rather well.

An single optimized Palit GeForce RTX 3070 GameRock GPU can perform a little over 60 MHS with ease with a bit tweaking with the assistance of the MSI Afterburner software program. At TDP of simply 55% or nearly half of the usual energy utilization these video playing cards handle to carry out rather well so far as Ethereum (ETH) mining is worried with a little bit of overclock for the video reminiscence as effectively – +1100 MHz. The lowered energy utilization leads to decrease GPU efficiency, however RTX 3070 is greater than able to using the quick GDDR6 reminiscence it has with a 256-bit large reminiscence bus absolutely to get you about 60.6 MHS mining the Ethash algorithm. No must overclock or underclock the GPU, although for additional energy utilization optimizations you may as well strive decreasing the working voltage of the GPU a bit, although probably not required (can most likely save as much as about 100W of energy utilization for the entire rig).

So with cooling followers set at 75% and a TDP of 55% with +1100 MHz for the video reminiscence you get additional cool and energy environment friendly GPUs mining at over 60 MHs with a complete energy consumption a bit shy from 1000W on the wall (can rely on the PSU effectivity) or a bit over 360 MHs for a 6x GPU mining rig utilizing Palit GeForce RTX 3070 GameRock video card. The screenshot for the hashrate is with the usage of the most recent PhoenixMiner 5.4c and mining Ethash on NiceHash…

The one factor that could be higher than the RTX 3070 is the RTX 3060 Ti (in that value/efficiency vary), nonetheless the 3060 Ti are even tougher to acquire as a consequence of their barely lower cost and the identical mining efficiency for Ethereum (ETH). The reason is that RTX 3060 Ti options the identical GDDR6 reminiscence because the RTX 3070, however has a barely stripped down GPU. That nonetheless doesn’t intervene with Ethereum mining because the GPU on the RTX 3060 Ti nonetheless manages rather well even with 1000 CUDa cores much less. Do word that the RTX 3060 shouldn’t be that goof of another as not like the 256-bit reminiscence bus that the Ti has, the common non-Ti model has simply 192-bit reminiscence bus and the hashrate does undergo from that, so no 60 MHs on the non-Ti fashions!
