GeForce RTX 3080 Ti on Ravencoin — Mining Profit, Solo Odds & Cost of Production

50.00 MH/s · KawPow · network 650.48 GH/s. A GeForce RTX 3080 Ti solo mining Ravencoin (RVN) has about 40 blocks per year, i.e. an expected block roughly every 9 days for the full 1,250.0000 RVN (≈ 2 USD) reward.

GeForce RTX 3080 Ti on Ravencoin — Mining Truth Benchmark & Specifications

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

Can you solo mine Ravencoin with a GeForce RTX 3080 Ti?

Yes — a GeForce RTX 3080 Ti (50.00 MH/s) can solo mine Ravencoin (RVN) via a solo pool. At Ravencoin's 650.48 GH/s KawPow network that is about 40 blocks per year — expected one block roughly every 9 days, for the full 1,250.0000 RVN (≈ 2 USD) 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 Ravencoin

The GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is categorized in the Mid-Range Workhorse Tier (Middle quartile hashrate offering solid pool mining throughput with moderate solo variance.). Among all 18 tracked models on Ravencoin, it ranks #15 in electrical efficiency (142,857.14 H/W) and #7 in raw hashrate (50.00 MH/s).

Electricity Operating Costs & Breakeven

Running a GeForce RTX 3080 Ti (350 W) pulls about 8.40 kWh per day (255.7 kWh per month). At the standard rate of 0.069 USD/kWh, electricity costs roughly 0.58 USD per day (17.64 USD/month or 212 USD/year). Statistically that year returns 40.26 blocks, worth about $74.72 — you would burn roughly 3x more in electricity than that reward is worth.

The operational breakeven threshold is 0.024 USD/kWh. Expected net operating margin at benchmark tariffs:

• At 0.040 USD/kWh (Hydro / Renewable): -0.13 USD / day
• At 0.069 USD/kWh (Standard Industrial): -0.38 USD / day
• At 0.120 USD/kWh (Residential Grid): -0.80 USD / day

Break-even Coin Price Target: For this hardware to break even on electricity, Ravencoin must trade at or above 0.00421 USD at standard industrial power (0.069 USD/kWh), or 0.00732 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 9 days, real-world dispersion ranges across 5% and 50% quantiles:

• Lucky streak (5% Odds): Block within ~11.2 hours (1-in-20 fastest discovery, power cost: ~0 USD)
• Median expectation (50% Odds): Block within ~6 days (Nominal median, power cost: ~4 USD)
• Bad luck streak (5% Odds): Can stretch up to ~27 days (1-in-20 extended dry spell, power cost: ~16 USD)

High Variance Alert: In a 1-in-20 severe drought (~27 days), cumulative electricity burned (~16 USD) will exceed the block reward value (2 USD). Pool mining is recommended for risk-averse operators.

GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Price & Estimated ROI

Current market price: $390–$470 (estimated market price, median $430) (Hardware price estimated). Mined against its most profitable coin instead of solo, it would pay itself back in about 121 days.

How the odds have moved

Ravencoin's network hashrate has been essentially flat since 2026-09-22, from 655.82 GH/s to 650.48 GH/s — so your odds are unchanged.

Where to point a GeForce RTX 3080 Ti at Ravencoin

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

• ravenminer.com (Fee: 0.5% · Hashrate: 75.52 GH/s)
• herominers.com (Fee: 0.9% · Hashrate: 9.72 GH/s)
• woolypooly.com (Fee: 0.9% · Hashrate: 6.41 GH/s)

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 10.44%, yearly chance 100.00%.

Frequently Asked Questions: GeForce RTX 3080 Ti on Ravencoin

Can you solo mine Ravencoin with a GeForce RTX 3080 Ti?

Yes — a GeForce RTX 3080 Ti (50.00 MH/s) can solo mine Ravencoin (RVN) via a solo pool. At Ravencoin's 650.48 GH/s KawPow network that is about 40 blocks per year — expected one block roughly every 9 days, for the full 1,250.0000 RVN (≈ 2 USD) block. BackPoW computes this from live network difficulty using a Poisson block-discovery model.

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

KawPow is an ASIC-resistant GPU algorithm relying on memory bandwidth. The GeForce RTX 3080 Ti ranks #7 of 18 GPUs on Ravencoin. 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 Ti on Ravencoin?

At 350 W, operating a GeForce RTX 3080 Ti consumes 8.40 kWh/day (255.7 kWh/month). At standard electricity (0.069 USD/kWh), the power bill is 0.58 USD/day (17.64 USD/month). The operational breakeven threshold is 0.024 USD/kWh.

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

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 27 days, accumulating roughly 16 USD in power costs.
