1. Nvidia RTX 2000 Ada
The Nvidia RTX 2000 Ada from Nvidia delivers 38 Mh/s of Ethash hashrate while consuming 70.0W. At $0.1/kWh, it's currently not profitable. You'd need cheaper power to make it work.
2. Nvidia RTX 4000 Ada SFF
The Nvidia RTX 4000 Ada SFF from Nvidia delivers 42 Mh/s of Ethash hashrate while consuming 70.0W. At $0.1/kWh, it's currently not profitable. You'd need cheaper power to make it work.
3. Nvidia RTX A4500
The Nvidia RTX A4500 from Nvidia delivers 78 Mh/s of Ethash hashrate while consuming 300.0W. At $0.1/kWh, it's currently not profitable. You'd need cheaper power to make it work.
How to Choose a Ethereum Classic Miner
Efficiency matters most. The best miner isn't always the one with the highest hashrate — it's the one with the lowest joules per hash. A more efficient machine earns more per dollar of electricity.
Check your electricity rate. At $0.05/kWh, almost any modern ASIC is profitable. At $0.10/kWh, only the most efficient models work. Above $0.15/kWh, you need top-tier hardware or free power.
Factor in difficulty growth. Ethereum Classic mining difficulty typically increases as new hardware enters the network. A rig that's profitable today may earn less in 6 months. Use our ROI calculator to model different scenarios.
