Miners say GeForce RTX 3050 mining performance is not good
The official suggested retail price of the NVIDIA RTX 3050 budget card is $249, which is slightly higher than the AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT’s $199. Nvidia has also made preparations in advance to prevent miners from rushing to buy the graphics card. It is said that Nvidia runs the LHR algorithm for the underlying graphics card to reduce the mining hash rate.
It is expected that the hash rate of GeForce RTX 3050 should be 20MH/S, but Chinese miners have already obtained the graphics card for testing in advance, and the actual hash rate is only 12.5MH/S. Miners claim that as long as the LHR algorithm detects that running mining software will reduce mining performance, and the power consumption is 73W, this hash rate does look ugly.
There are miners on Twitter who use mining software to optimize and achieve a power of 57W and a hash rate of 13.66MH/S, which should be the best mining efficiency of RTX 3050. Although the power consumption is slightly lower and the hash rate is slightly higher, it is still very poor overall, so this graphics card should have very limited appeal to professional miners.
We assume this graphics card will have limited appeal to miners and scalpers, so it may be easier for home users and gamers to buy this card. Of course, in terms of the current graphics card market, it may be difficult to buy the RTX 3050 at the original price. It can only be said that if the attractiveness is not enough, the premium rate may be slightly lower.
