Solo mining odds — GeForce RTX 5090 on PepePow
8.90 MH/s · Hoohashv2 · network 98.47 MH/s. A GeForce RTX 5090 solo mining PepePow (PEPEW) has about 142,612 blocks per year, i.e. an expected block roughly every 3.7 min for the full 6,311.5000 PEPEW reward.
Can you solo mine PepePow with a GeForce RTX 5090?
Yes — a GeForce RTX 5090 (8.90 MH/s) can solo mine PepePow (PEPEW) via a solo pool. At PepePow's 98.47 MH/s Hoohashv2 network that is about 142,612 blocks per year — expected one block roughly every 3.7 min, for the full 6,311.5000 PEPEW 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 PepePow
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 PepePow, it ranks #1 in electrical efficiency (38,695.65 H/W) and #1 in raw hashrate (8.90 MH/s).
Electricity Operating Costs & Breakeven
Running a GeForce RTX 5090 (230 W) pulls about 5.52 kWh per day (168.0 kWh per month). At the standard rate of 0.069 USD/kWh, electricity costs roughly 0.38 USD per day (11.59 USD/month or 139 USD/year). Statistically that year returns 142,611.81 blocks, worth about $666 — expected revenue covers the power bill about 4.8x over.
The operational breakeven threshold is 0.330 USD/kWh. Expected net operating margin at benchmark tariffs:
- At 0.040 USD/kWh (Hydro / Renewable): +1.60 USD / day
- At 0.069 USD/kWh (Standard Industrial): +1.44 USD / day
- At 0.120 USD/kWh (Residential Grid): +1.16 USD / day
Break-even Coin Price Target: For this hardware to break even on electricity, PepePow must trade at or above 0.0000 USD at standard industrial power (0.069 USD/kWh), or 0.0000 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 3.7 min, real-world dispersion ranges across 5% and 50% quantiles:
- Lucky streak (5% Odds): Block within ~11 s (1-in-20 fastest discovery, power cost: ~0 USD)
- Median expectation (50% Odds): Block within ~2.6 min (Nominal median, power cost: ~0 USD)
- Bad luck streak (5% Odds): Can stretch up to ~11.0 min (1-in-20 extended dry spell, power cost: ~0 USD)
Jackpot Safe: Even in a 1-in-20 bad luck drought (~11.0 min), the PepePow 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: $5,806–$6,695 across 33 vendors (median $6,372). Mined against its most profitable coin instead of solo, it would pay itself back in about 6.0 years.
How other hardware compares on PepePow
Devices in the same hashrate class, solo mining PepePow at today's difficulty:
| Hardware | Hashrate | Expected block | Chance in 1 year |
|---|---|---|---|
| GeForce RTX 4090 | 6.41 MH/s | 5.1 min | 100.00% |
How the odds have moved
PepePow's network hashrate has been essentially flat since 2026-08-08, from 98.47 MH/s to 98.47 MH/s — so your odds are unchanged.
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 100.00%, yearly chance 100.00%.
Frequently Asked Questions: GeForce RTX 5090 on PepePow
Can you solo mine PepePow with a GeForce RTX 5090?
Yes — a GeForce RTX 5090 (8.90 MH/s) can solo mine PepePow (PEPEW) via a solo pool. At PepePow's 98.47 MH/s Hoohashv2 network that is about 142,612 blocks per year — expected one block roughly every 3.7 min, for the full 6,311.5000 PEPEW block. BackPoW computes this from live network difficulty using a Poisson block-discovery model.
Is Hoohashv2 ASIC-resistant, and where does the GeForce RTX 5090 stand?
Hoohashv2 is an ASIC-resistant GPU algorithm relying on memory bandwidth. The GeForce RTX 5090 ranks #1 of 2 GPUs on PepePow. It operates in the Mid-Range Tier (middle quartile), offering solid pool mining throughput with moderate solo variance.
What is the operating power cost and breakeven electricity rate for a GeForce RTX 5090 on PepePow?
At 230 W, operating a GeForce RTX 5090 consumes 5.52 kWh/day (168.0 kWh/month). At standard electricity (0.069 USD/kWh), the power bill is 0.38 USD/day (11.59 USD/month). The operational breakeven threshold is 0.330 USD/kWh.
What happens if my GeForce RTX 5090 encounters a severe dry spell on PepePow?
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 11.0 min, accumulating roughly 0 USD in power costs.
