NVIDIA has prepared two GPUs that are specifically aimed at cryptocurrency mining. Both designs are based on existing Pascal GPU but are tuned towards mining so they deliver better efficiency at crypto mining compared to regular variants. The GPUs include a GP104-100 and a GP106-100 card that will be offered by NVIDIA’s AIB partners.
GTX 1060 “GP106-100” Starting at $200 US,
GTX 1080 “GP104-100” Starting at $350 With Up To 60 MH/s
NVIDIA P104-100 “GTX 1080” With 8 GB GDDR5X – Starting at $350 US
The NVIDIA P104-100 model utilizes the same design as the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080. It delivers much higher efficiency and is fine tuned for crypto mining purposes. While the cards will ship with different clock speeds, the base model is tuned to operate at 1607 MHz base, 1733 MHz boost, 10 Gbps GDDR5X speeds along a 256-bit bus.
NVIDIA P106-100 “GTX 1060” With 6 GB GDDR5 – Starting at $200 US
The NVIDIA P106-100 model utilizes the same design as the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060. It delivers much higher efficiency and is fine tuned for crypto mining purposes. While the cards will ship with different clock speeds, the base model is tuned to operate at 1506 MHz base, 1708 MHz boost, 8.0 Gbps GDDR5 speeds along a 192-bit bus.
" The price of 1 Ether (ETH) is currently $383.43, so with a hashing power of 27 MH/s you are looking at a profit of around $185 a month ($2,255) a year in stock form. If you pay $369.99 for a GeForce GTX 1070 and ETH pricing stays this level you’ll have the card paid off right at 60 days."
In, stock form the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Founders Edition had a hashing power of 27 MH/s. When you plug that into a profit calculator you are looking at a profit of around $185 a month or $2,255 a year. By overclocking the memory and lowering the power target we were able to improve the hashrate, lower power consumption, reduce the GPU temperature and have the fans running at a lower speed for a much quieter system. This improved hashrate means that we have the potential to make around $218 a month or $2,666 per year. That is an extra $411 a year and it means you’ll have your card paid off in about 51 days instead of 60 days! Buy two of these cards and place it in this system and you are looking at making over $5,000 a year in extra income
