1.10 GH/s · SHA512256d · network 159.20 TH/s. A GeForce RTX 3080 solo mining Radiant (RXD) has about a 1-in-2 chance per year, i.e. an expected block roughly every 1.38 yr for the full 12,500.0000 RXD reward.

GeForce RTX 3080 on Radiant — Mining Truth Benchmark & Specifications

Consolidated PoW oracle metrics for operating a GeForce RTX 3080 on Radiant (RXD) at live network difficulty and benchmark industrial electricity (0.069 USD/kWh):

Can you solo mine Radiant with a GeForce RTX 3080?

Yes — a GeForce RTX 3080 (1.10 GH/s) can solo mine Radiant (RXD) via a solo pool. At Radiant's 159.20 TH/s SHA512256d network that is about a 1-in-2 chance per year — expected one block roughly every 1.38 yr, for the full 12,500.0000 RXD 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 Radiant

The GeForce RTX 3080 is categorized in the Mid-Range Workhorse Tier (Middle quartile hashrate offering solid pool mining throughput with moderate solo variance.). Among all 8 tracked models on Radiant, it ranks #7 in electrical efficiency (7,340,666.67 H/W) and #6 in raw hashrate (1.10 GH/s).

Electricity Operating Costs & Breakeven

Running a GeForce RTX 3080 (150 W) pulls about 3.60 kWh per day (109.6 kWh per month). At the standard rate of 0.069 USD/kWh, electricity costs roughly 0.25 USD per day (7.56 USD/month or 91 USD/year). Statistically that year returns 0.72 blocks, worth about $0.37 — you would burn roughly 245x 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): -0.14 USD / day
• At 0.069 USD/kWh (Standard Industrial): -0.25 USD / day
• At 0.120 USD/kWh (Residential Grid): -0.43 USD / day

Break-even Coin Price Target: For this hardware to break even on electricity, Radiant must trade at or above 0.0101 USD at standard industrial power (0.069 USD/kWh), or 0.0175 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 1.38 yr, real-world dispersion ranges across 5% and 50% quantiles:

• Lucky streak (5% Odds): Block within ~26 days (1-in-20 fastest discovery, power cost: ~6 USD)
• Median expectation (50% Odds): Block within ~351 days (Nominal median, power cost: ~87 USD)
• Bad luck streak (5% Odds): Can stretch up to ~4.15 yr (1-in-20 extended dry spell, power cost: ~376 USD)

High Variance Alert: In a 1-in-20 severe drought (~4.15 yr), cumulative electricity burned (~376 USD) will exceed the block reward value (1 USD). Pool mining is recommended for risk-averse operators.

GeForce RTX 3080 Price & Estimated ROI

Current market price: $1,073. Mined against its most profitable coin instead of solo, it would pay itself back in about 641 days.

How other hardware compares on Radiant

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

How the odds have moved

Radiant's network hashrate fell 62% since 2026-09-08, from 416.41 TH/s to 159.20 TH/s — so the same rig is now 62% more likely to find a block.

Where to point a GeForce RTX 3080 at Radiant

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

• mangledpool.com (Fee: 0% · Hashrate: 1.63 TH/s)
• vipor.net (Fee: 0.9% · Hashrate: 77.41 TH/s)
• k1pool.com (Fee: 1% · Hashrate: 6.93 TH/s)

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 0.1975%, yearly chance 51.43%.

Frequently Asked Questions: GeForce RTX 3080 on Radiant

Can you solo mine Radiant with a GeForce RTX 3080?

Yes — a GeForce RTX 3080 (1.10 GH/s) can solo mine Radiant (RXD) via a solo pool. At Radiant's 159.20 TH/s SHA512256d network that is about a 1-in-2 chance per year — expected one block roughly every 1.38 yr, for the full 12,500.0000 RXD block. BackPoW computes this from live network difficulty using a Poisson block-discovery model.

Is SHA512256d ASIC-resistant, and where does the GeForce RTX 3080 stand?

SHA512256d is an ASIC-resistant GPU algorithm relying on memory bandwidth. The GeForce RTX 3080 ranks #6 of 8 GPUs on Radiant. 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 3080 on Radiant?

At 150 W, operating a GeForce RTX 3080 consumes 3.60 kWh/day (109.6 kWh/month). At standard electricity (0.069 USD/kWh), the power bill is 0.25 USD/day (7.56 USD/month). The operational breakeven threshold is 0.000 USD/kWh.

What happens if my GeForce RTX 3080 encounters a severe dry spell on Radiant?

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 4.15 yr, accumulating roughly 376 USD in power costs.
