Consolidated PoW oracle metrics for operating a GeForce RTX 5090 on EPIC-ProgPow (EPIC) at live network difficulty and benchmark industrial electricity (0.069 USD/kWh):

Can you solo mine EPIC-ProgPow with a GeForce RTX 5090?

Yes — a GeForce RTX 5090 (84.78 MH/s) can solo mine EPIC-ProgPow (EPIC) via a solo pool. At EPIC-ProgPow's 13.08 GH/s ProgPow network that is about 1,704 blocks per year — expected one block roughly every 5.1 hours, for the full 0.9900 EPIC block. BackPoW computes this from live network difficulty using a Poisson block-discovery model. Realistically this is genuinely worth a patient solo run.

Hardware Tier & Ecosystem Ranking on EPIC-ProgPow

The GeForce RTX 5090 is categorized in the Mid-Range Workhorse Tier (Middle quartile hashrate offering solid pool mining throughput with moderate solo variance.). Among all 2 tracked models on EPIC-ProgPow, it ranks #1 in electrical efficiency (235,497.22 H/W) and #1 in raw hashrate (84.78 MH/s).

Electricity Operating Costs & Breakeven

Running a GeForce RTX 5090 (360 W) pulls about 8.64 kWh per day (263.0 kWh per month). At the standard rate of 0.069 USD/kWh, electricity costs roughly 0.60 USD per day (18.15 USD/month or 218 USD/year). Statistically that year returns 1,704.29 blocks, worth about $821 — expected revenue covers the power bill about 3.8x over.

The operational breakeven threshold is 0.260 USD/kWh. Expected net operating margin at benchmark tariffs:

• At 0.040 USD/kWh (Hydro / Renewable): +1.90 USD / day
• At 0.069 USD/kWh (Standard Industrial): +1.65 USD / day
• At 0.120 USD/kWh (Residential Grid): +1.21 USD / day

Break-even Coin Price Target: For this hardware to break even on electricity, EPIC-ProgPow must trade at or above 0.1291 USD at standard industrial power (0.069 USD/kWh), or 0.2244 USD at residential power (0.120 USD/kWh).

Bankroll & Variance Risk Simulator

Solo mining block discovery follows a memoryless Poisson distribution. While the average wait is 5.1 hours, real-world dispersion ranges across 5% and 50% quantiles:

• Lucky streak (5% Odds): Block within ~15.8 min (1-in-20 fastest discovery, power cost: ~0 USD)
• Median expectation (50% Odds): Block within ~3.6 hours (Nominal median, power cost: ~0 USD)
• Bad luck streak (5% Odds): Can stretch up to ~15.4 hours (1-in-20 extended dry spell, power cost: ~0 USD)

Jackpot Safe: Even in a 1-in-20 bad luck drought (~15.4 hours), the EPIC-ProgPow block reward (0 USD) covers electricity costs (~0 USD) with a net surplus of ~0 USD.

GeForce RTX 5090 Price & Estimated ROI

Current market price: $5,625–$10,661 across 26 vendors (median $7,708). Mined against its most profitable coin instead of solo, it would pay itself back in about 3.8 years.

How other hardware compares on EPIC-ProgPow

Devices in the same hashrate class, solo mining EPIC-ProgPow at today's difficulty:

How the odds have moved

EPIC-ProgPow's network hashrate fell 22% since 2026-09-08, from 16.85 GH/s to 13.08 GH/s — so the same rig is now 22% more likely to find a block.

Where to point a GeForce RTX 5090 at EPIC-ProgPow

Solo mining still runs through a solo pool: it handles the block template and pays the full reward to whoever finds the block. BackPoW tracks 3 solo pools for EPIC-ProgPow with their stratum endpoints, fees, and pool hashrates — see EPIC-ProgPow solo mining pools:

• iniaku.my.id (Fee: 0.02% · Hashrate: 164.98 MH/s)
• epicmine.io (Fee: 2.5% · Hashrate: 7.55 MH/s)
• pool-pay.com (Fee: 2% · Hashrate: 27.57 KH/s)

How the odds are calculated

Each hash is an independent attempt, so block discovery is memoryless and follows an exponential distribution. The average time to a block is T = network_hashrate ÷ your_hashrate × block_time. The chance of hitting at least one block within a period t is then given by the Poisson relation P = 1 − e^(−t/T) — the realistic probability, not a misleading linear one. For this pair: daily chance 99.06%, yearly chance 100.00%.
