I’m not up on ROI for non-asic mining anymore, but I’d be interested to know if this would be economical for these centres. When I used to mine ethereum on 27 Rx 580 8GB, I had to flash them with different bios to get them to be profitable.
Then the heat. I had them in a separate building on 60A panel and turning on the lights was a 50/50 that the breaker would trip.
Would running crypto on GPUs geared for AI be worth the extra power draw?
I haven’t done the math, but you are forgetting the massive tax breaks for “job creation” and subsidizing the energy cost across the population around you. That’s gotta help the profitability
Doubtful. Crypto mining is insanely optimized. Hardware value depreciation alone would kill profitability. We’re talking 20k chips having to compete with $200 consumer GPUs
