Best mining GPU in 2021

In this blog post, we are going to take a look at the best mining cards for mining in 2021

Let's get straight to it.


NHOS


5. NVIDIA RTX 3090    

Model Power Draw (W) Hashrate (DaggerHashimoto) Efficiency (MHs/Watt)
RTX 3090 285W 120 MH/s 0,421

RTX 3090 PROFITABILITY

RTX 3090 is the king of ‘em all in terms of raw performance. So is the price. It hashes with 120 MH/s or even more with around 285W power draw. This GPU archives the highest hashrate among all consumer-based GPUs.

4. AMD Radeon VII

Model Power Draw (W) Hashrate (DaggerHashimoto) Efficiency (MHs/Watt)
Radeon VII 190W 80 MH/s 0,421

AMD Radeon VII PROFITABILITY

Radeon VII is the only AMD representative on this list. It can (under some conditions) reach up to 100MH/s while it normally reaches around 80 MH/s and draws around 190W. It can easily run games at 4K resolution.

3. NVIDIA RTX 3080 

Model Power Draw (W) Hashrate (DaggerHashimoto) Efficiency (MHs/Watt)
RTX 3080 220W 98 MH/s 0,445

RTX 3080 PROFITABILITY

RTX 3080 is the best gaming and mining GPU currently available. Its hashrate is almost 100 MH/s hashrate with a power draw of 220W. This GPU is great for all demanding 4K gamers and miners.

2. NVIDIA RTX 3070

Model Power Draw (W) Hashrate (DaggerHashimoto) Efficiency (MHs/Watt)
RTX 3070 130W 60 MH/s 0,461

RTX 3070 PROFITABILITY

RTX 3070 is a great GPU for both mining and gaming on your PC. It hashes at around 60 MH/s on the DaggerHashimoto algorithm and draws just a bit more than 130W.

1. NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti

Model Power Draw (W) Hashrate (DaggerHashimoto) Efficiency (MHs/Watt)
RTX 3060 Ti 130 60 MH/s 0,461

RTX 3060 Ti PROFITABILITY
NHOS

RTX 3060 Ti is the best mining GPU regarding efficiency. It can hash at practically the same hashrate as RTX 3070 but has fewer cores which means it can draw even less power. This makes it more efficient than RTX 3070. RTX 3060 Ti could share the first place with RTX 3070, but considering the price difference, the RTX 3060 Ti has a faster ROI.
