1.50 GH/s · Eaglesong · network 89.27 PH/s. A Radeon RX 6800 XT solo mining Nervos (CKB) has about a 1-in-17 chance per year, i.e. an expected block roughly every 16.65 yr for the full 637.5700 CKB reward.

Radeon RX 6800 XT on Nervos — Mining Truth Benchmark & Specifications

Consolidated PoW oracle metrics for operating a Radeon RX 6800 XT on Nervos (CKB) at live network difficulty and benchmark industrial electricity (0.069 USD/kWh):

Can you solo mine Nervos with a Radeon RX 6800 XT?

Yes — a Radeon RX 6800 XT (1.50 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-17 chance per year — expected one block roughly every 16.65 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 Radeon RX 6800 XT 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 #5 in electrical efficiency (7,900,263.16 H/W) and #3 in raw hashrate (1.50 GH/s).

Electricity Operating Costs & Breakeven

Running a Radeon RX 6800 XT (190 W) pulls about 4.56 kWh per day (138.8 kWh per month). At the standard rate of 0.069 USD/kWh, electricity costs roughly 0.31 USD per day (9.58 USD/month or 115 USD/year). Statistically that year returns 0.06 blocks, worth about $0.0485 — you would burn roughly 2,370x 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): -0.18 USD / day
• At 0.069 USD/kWh (Standard Industrial): -0.31 USD / day
• At 0.120 USD/kWh (Residential Grid): -0.55 USD / day

Break-even Coin Price Target: For this hardware to break even on electricity, Nervos must trade at or above 3.00 USD at standard industrial power (0.069 USD/kWh), or 5.22 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 16.65 yr, real-world dispersion ranges across 5% and 50% quantiles:

• Lucky streak (5% Odds): Block within ~312 days (1-in-20 fastest discovery, power cost: ~98 USD)
• Median expectation (50% Odds): Block within ~11.54 yr (Nominal median, power cost: ~1,326 USD)
• Bad luck streak (5% Odds): Can stretch up to ~49.88 yr (1-in-20 extended dry spell, power cost: ~5,732 USD)

High Variance Alert: In a 1-in-20 severe drought (~49.88 yr), cumulative electricity burned (~5,732 USD) will exceed the block reward value (1 USD). Pool mining is recommended for risk-averse operators.

Radeon RX 6800 XT Price & Estimated ROI

Current market price: $310–$370 (estimated market price, median $340) (Hardware price estimated). Mined against its most profitable coin instead of solo, it would pay itself back in about 500 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 Radeon RX 6800 XT 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

Because each hash succeeds independently, finding a block is a Poisson process — there is no 'due' block, only an average rate. The mean time between blocks is T = network_hashrate ÷ your_hashrate × block_time, and the realistic chance of at least one block over a period t is P = 1 − e^(−t/T). That is why a longer run raises your odds but never guarantees a block. For this pair: daily chance 0.0164%, yearly chance 5.83%.

Frequently Asked Questions: Radeon RX 6800 XT on Nervos

Can you solo mine Nervos with a Radeon RX 6800 XT?

Yes — a Radeon RX 6800 XT (1.50 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-17 chance per year — expected one block roughly every 16.65 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 Radeon RX 6800 XT stand?

Eaglesong is an ASIC-dominated algorithm. The Radeon RX 6800 XT delivers 1.50 GH/s (#3 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 Radeon RX 6800 XT on Nervos?

At 190 W, operating a Radeon RX 6800 XT consumes 4.56 kWh/day (138.8 kWh/month). At standard electricity (0.069 USD/kWh), the power bill is 0.31 USD/day (9.58 USD/month). The operational breakeven threshold is 0.000 USD/kWh.

What happens if my Radeon RX 6800 XT 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 49.88 yr, accumulating roughly 5,732 USD in power costs.
