549.01 KH/s · NeoScrypt · network 660.18 MH/s. A GeForce GTX 1660 solo mining Phoenixcoin (PXC) has about 291 blocks per year, i.e. an expected block roughly every 1 days for the full 3.1300 PXC reward.

GeForce GTX 1660 on Phoenixcoin — Mining Truth Benchmark & Specifications

Consolidated PoW oracle metrics for operating a GeForce GTX 1660 on Phoenixcoin (PXC) at live network difficulty and benchmark industrial electricity (0.069 USD/kWh):

Can you solo mine Phoenixcoin with a GeForce GTX 1660?

Yes — a GeForce GTX 1660 (549.01 KH/s) can solo mine Phoenixcoin (PXC) via a solo pool. At Phoenixcoin's 660.18 MH/s NeoScrypt network that is about 291 blocks per year — expected one block roughly every 1 days, for the full 3.1300 PXC 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 Phoenixcoin

The GeForce GTX 1660 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 Phoenixcoin, it ranks #2 in electrical efficiency (6,100.11 H/W) and #2 in raw hashrate (549.01 KH/s).

Electricity Operating Costs & Breakeven

Running a GeForce GTX 1660 (90 W) pulls about 2.16 kWh per day (65.7 kWh per month). At the standard rate of 0.069 USD/kWh, electricity costs roughly 0.15 USD per day (4.54 USD/month or 54 USD/year).

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

• At 0.040 USD/kWh (Hydro / Renewable): -0.09 USD / day
• At 0.069 USD/kWh (Standard Industrial): -0.15 USD / day
• At 0.120 USD/kWh (Residential Grid): -0.26 USD / day

Bankroll & Variance Risk Simulator

Solo mining block discovery follows a memoryless Poisson distribution. While the average wait is 1 days, real-world dispersion ranges across 5% and 50% quantiles:

• Lucky streak (5% Odds): Block within ~1.5 hours (1-in-20 fastest discovery, power cost: ~0 USD)
• Median expectation (50% Odds): Block within ~20.9 hours (Nominal median, power cost: ~0 USD)
• Bad luck streak (5% Odds): Can stretch up to ~4 days (1-in-20 extended dry spell, power cost: ~1 USD)

High Variance Alert: In a 1-in-20 severe drought (~4 days), cumulative electricity burned (~1 USD) will exceed the block reward value (0 USD). Pool mining is recommended for risk-averse operators.

GeForce GTX 1660 Price & Estimated ROI

Current market price: $75–$95 (estimated market price, median $85) (Hardware price estimated). Mined against its most profitable coin instead of solo, it would pay itself back in about 331 days.

How the odds have moved

Phoenixcoin's network hashrate fell 35% since 2026-09-08, from 1.02 GH/s to 660.18 MH/s — so the same rig is now 35% more likely to find a block.

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 54.96%, yearly chance 100.00%.

Frequently Asked Questions: GeForce GTX 1660 on Phoenixcoin

Can you solo mine Phoenixcoin with a GeForce GTX 1660?

Yes — a GeForce GTX 1660 (549.01 KH/s) can solo mine Phoenixcoin (PXC) via a solo pool. At Phoenixcoin's 660.18 MH/s NeoScrypt network that is about 291 blocks per year — expected one block roughly every 1 days, for the full 3.1300 PXC block. BackPoW computes this from live network difficulty using a Poisson block-discovery model.

Is NeoScrypt ASIC-resistant, and where does the GeForce GTX 1660 stand?

NeoScrypt is an ASIC-resistant GPU algorithm relying on memory bandwidth. The GeForce GTX 1660 ranks #2 of 2 GPUs on Phoenixcoin. 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 GTX 1660 on Phoenixcoin?

At 90 W, operating a GeForce GTX 1660 consumes 2.16 kWh/day (65.7 kWh/month). At standard electricity (0.069 USD/kWh), the power bill is 0.15 USD/day (4.54 USD/month). The operational breakeven threshold is 0.000 USD/kWh.

What happens if my GeForce GTX 1660 encounters a severe dry spell on Phoenixcoin?

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 4 days, accumulating roughly 1 USD in power costs.
