What you need to know

  • A listing has been spotted for an alleged mining farm that includes RTX 4090 Ti and RX 7000 graphics.
  • There's a very good chance that the listing is inaccurate.
  • The mining farm in question has the power of 10,000 combined RTX 3090 GPUs.

The mining farm in question allegedly has a collective mining rate of almost 2.5Th/s.

Mining farms generally have hundreds or even thousands of graphics cards working together to mine cryptocurrency. The listing on Flexpool does not specify how many GPUs are working together to hit such high numbers, though it would have to be a large set of graphics cards.

Regardless of which hardware it uses, the mining farm is a very lucrative one. With up to a 3.91 TH/s hash rate for Ethereum, the farm could get around 5 ETH every three hours. That would result in a monthly income of over $4 million.

There's a chance that the listing is for a massive mining farm with an incredibly high number of graphics cards working together. There's also technically a slim chance that some of those graphics cards are pieces of hardware that have not been released by NVIDIA or AMD at this time.
