An American has managed to procure no less than 78 Geforce RTX 3080 and 65 GTX 1080 Ti to build an impressive mining farm. Thanks to Bitcoin's rising price since last year, he claims to make a net profit of $ 900 per day, or $ 27 per month. In a context of persistent shortage of graphics cards, the installation did not fail to cause controversy among players.
Nvidia's GeForce RTX 3080 is a monster of power that is attracting the lusts of many gamers across the world. But these are not the only ones to set their sights on the graphics card, whose qualities in terms of minage de Bitcoin have already been proven. An American by the name of Simon Byrne has indeed decided to see the big picture: in order to set up his own mining farm, he simply bought 78 RTX 3080 and 65 GTX 1080 Ti.
Of course, the impressive installation cost him dearly: 719€ the graphics card, the total of RTX 3080 alone is worth 56 000 €. An investment quickly repaid, according to Simon Byrne, who claims to be profitable from $ 900 per dayEither 27 000 $ per month. At this rate, it will only take two months to be profitable. Remember that the price of Bitcoin recently exceeded $ 30, which explains these important figures.

Important figures, of course, but that should be qualified. By referring to its benchmarks, the graphics card is able to extract every day between 6,35 et 9,15 dollars d'Ethereum, a cryptocurrency similar to Bitcoin. If we report these results to the month, the miner can therefore hope to earn between $ 15 and $ 21. It is also necessary to consider the energy cost that the platform requires: approximately 23,4 kW according to some calculations, the equivalent of 1 444 dollars per month at the cost of electricity in Las Vegas, the hometown of Simon Byrne. Taking all this into account, it will take between 4 and 6 months to the latter to be profitable.
