GeForce RTX 3090 on Nervos — Mining Truth Benchmark & Specifications

Consolidated PoW oracle metrics for operating a GeForce RTX 3090 on Nervos (CKB) at live network difficulty and benchmark industrial electricity (0.069 USD/kWh):

Can you solo mine Nervos with a GeForce RTX 3090?

Yes — a GeForce RTX 3090 (2.10 GH/s) can solo mine Nervos (CKB) via a solo pool. At Nervos's 89.27 PH/s Eaglesong network that is about a 1-in-12 chance per year — expected one block roughly every 11.90 yr, for the full 637.5700 CKB block. BackPoW computes this from live network difficulty using a Poisson block-discovery model. Realistically this is a hobby/lottery play rather than an income strategy.

Hardware Tier & Ecosystem Ranking on Nervos

The GeForce RTX 3090 is categorized in the Commercial / High-Yield Tier (Top quartile hashrate on this network, highly competitive for regular pool revenue or realistic solo mining.). Among all 11 tracked models on Nervos, it ranks #8 in electrical efficiency (7,244,275.86 H/W) and #1 in raw hashrate (2.10 GH/s).

Electricity Operating Costs & Breakeven

Running a GeForce RTX 3090 (290 W) pulls about 6.96 kWh per day (211.8 kWh per month). At the standard rate of 0.069 USD/kWh, electricity costs roughly 0.48 USD per day (14.62 USD/month or 175 USD/year). Statistically that year returns 0.08 blocks, worth about $0.0679 — you would burn roughly 2,584x more in electricity than that reward is worth.

The operational breakeven threshold is 0.000 USD/kWh. Expected net operating margin at benchmark tariffs:

• At 0.040 USD/kWh (Hydro / Renewable): -0.28 USD / day
• At 0.069 USD/kWh (Standard Industrial): -0.48 USD / day
• At 0.120 USD/kWh (Residential Grid): -0.84 USD / day

Break-even Coin Price Target: For this hardware to break even on electricity, Nervos must trade at or above 3.27 USD at standard industrial power (0.069 USD/kWh), or 5.69 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 11.90 yr, real-world dispersion ranges across 5% and 50% quantiles:

• Lucky streak (5% Odds): Block within ~223 days (1-in-20 fastest discovery, power cost: ~107 USD)
• Median expectation (50% Odds): Block within ~8.25 yr (Nominal median, power cost: ~1,446 USD)
• Bad luck streak (5% Odds): Can stretch up to ~35.64 yr (1-in-20 extended dry spell, power cost: ~6,251 USD)

High Variance Alert: In a 1-in-20 severe drought (~35.64 yr), cumulative electricity burned (~6,251 USD) will exceed the block reward value (1 USD). Pool mining is recommended for risk-averse operators.

GeForce RTX 3090 Price & Estimated ROI

Current market price: $580–$720 (estimated market price, median $650) (Hardware price estimated). Mined against its most profitable coin instead of solo, it would pay itself back in about 300 days.

How other hardware compares on Nervos

Devices in the same hashrate class, solo mining Nervos at today's difficulty:

How the odds have moved

Nervos's network hashrate climbed 33% since 2026-09-08, from 67.17 PH/s to 89.27 PH/s — so the same rig is now 33% less likely to find a block.

Where to point a GeForce RTX 3090 at Nervos

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 2 solo pools for Nervos with their stratum endpoints, fees, and pool hashrates — see Nervos solo mining pools:

• 2miners.com (Fee: 1.5% · Hashrate: 1.19 PH/s)
• mkpool.com (Fee: 2%)

How the odds are calculated

Solo mining is memoryless: every hash is an independent lottery ticket, so the wait for a block follows an exponential distribution rather than a fixed schedule. On average a block takes T = network_hashrate ÷ your_hashrate × block_time, and the probability of finding at least one within a window t is P = 1 − e^(−t/T). BackPoW uses this Poisson relation instead of a naive linear estimate. For this pair: daily chance 0.0230%, yearly chance 8.06%.

Frequently Asked Questions: GeForce RTX 3090 on Nervos

Can you solo mine Nervos with a GeForce RTX 3090?

Yes — a GeForce RTX 3090 (2.10 GH/s) can solo mine Nervos (CKB) via a solo pool. At Nervos's 89.27 PH/s Eaglesong network that is about a 1-in-12 chance per year — expected one block roughly every 11.90 yr, for the full 637.5700 CKB block. BackPoW computes this from live network difficulty using a Poisson block-discovery model.

Is Eaglesong ASIC-resistant, and where does the GeForce RTX 3090 stand?

Eaglesong is an ASIC-dominated algorithm. The GeForce RTX 3090 delivers 2.10 GH/s (#1 of 11 models on Nervos). It sits in the Commercial / High-Yield Tier (top quartile), making it highly competitive for steady pool income and realistic solo mining.

What is the operating power cost and breakeven electricity rate for a GeForce RTX 3090 on Nervos?

At 290 W, operating a GeForce RTX 3090 consumes 6.96 kWh/day (211.8 kWh/month). At standard electricity (0.069 USD/kWh), the power bill is 0.48 USD/day (14.62 USD/month). The operational breakeven threshold is 0.000 USD/kWh.

What happens if my GeForce RTX 3090 encounters a severe dry spell on Nervos?

Block discovery is an independent Poisson process with no memory. In a 1-in-20 bad luck drought (5% worst luck), finding a block can stretch up to 35.64 yr, accumulating roughly 6,251 USD in power costs.
