American built a mining farm of 78 video cards with an annual profit of $128,000

An Ethereum mining farm was discovered in the United States, consisting of 78 GeForce RTX 3080 video cards manufactured by PNY. TechARP estimates that it brings the owner $ 128,088 per year.

Simon Byrne from Las Vegas spent about $ 100,000 on the farm, with an average price of $ 1199 per card. The total power consumption of the equipment is 23.4 kW, while each card consumes about 300 watts.

The farm owner pays $ 2,166 a month for electricity (8.43 cents per kWh), including additional air conditioning costs.

A single GeForce RTX 3080 card has a hash rate of around 83 MH / s using the Ethash algorithm, which should generate around 0.22236870 ETH or $ 165 per month. The entire system of 78 graphics cards should mine a total of about 17.3 ETH or $ 12,840 per month.

After deducting energy costs, Bern makes a monthly profit of approximately $ 10,674 or $ 128,088 per year.

In June against the background of the rise in the price of Ethereum to $ 330, Chinese miners became interested in mining the second largest cryptocurrency in terms of capitalization. However, their plans were in jeopardy due to a shortage of video cards and an increase in their cost.
