Understanding GPU Hash Rate & Mining Logic
A GPU Hash Rate measures the processing power of a graphics card when performing cryptographic calculations. For most Proof-of-Work (PoW) cryptocurrencies, this is measured in Mega Hashes per second (MH/s). Calculating your potential profit requires balancing your hardware's speed against energy costs and network difficulty.
Key Factors in the Calculation:
- Efficiency (MH/W): This is the most critical metric for long-term sustainability. It is calculated by dividing your total Hash Rate by your actual wall power consumption. High efficiency means you are generating more revenue per unit of electricity.
- Electricity Cost: Since mining runs 24/7, even a small difference in $/kWh can be the difference between profit and loss.
- Pool Fees: Most miners join a "pool" to smooth out rewards. These pools typically charge between 1% and 3% of your total earnings.
Practical Example:
If you own an NVIDIA RTX 3070, you might achieve approximately 60 MH/s at 130 Watts. If your electricity cost is $0.10/kWh and the current network reward is $2.00 per 100 MH/s daily:
- Gross Daily Revenue: (60 / 100) * $2.00 = $1.20
- Daily Electricity: (130W / 1000) * 24h * $0.10 = $0.312
- Daily Net Profit: $1.20 – $0.312 = $0.888 (excluding pool fees)
Always remember that network difficulty and coin price are highly volatile. A setup that is profitable today might not be tomorrow if the coin's market value drops or more miners join the network.
