How much ETH can I mine with my GPU?

“The Bitcoin network today has a hash rate of approximately 190 EH/s , so all the miners across the network are calculating the output of the SHA-256 cryptographic hash function approximately 190 quintillion times per second on average.”

A higher hashrate means more computing power is required to verify and add transactions to that cryptocurrency’s blockchain . This makes that cryptocurrency more secure because it would take more miners—and cost more in energy and time—to take over the network.

Bitcoin is still the most profitable coin to mine with an ASIC, but not GPU. Bitcoin GPU mining is not profitable currently even with a mining pool. But you can mine with pools that allow you to contribute the hash rate to mine other crypto and get rewarded in Bitcoin.

Most pay out your Ethereum daily, provided you’ve hit minimum quotas, but some of those quotas are pretty high. For example, Ethermine.org has configurable payout limits starting at 0.1 ETH, which would take about a month to reach with a single GPU — a single RTX 3080 will mine about 0.006 ETH per day .

Hashrate is usually measured in units of k (kilo, 1,000), M (mega, 1 million), G (giga, 1 billion), or T (tera, 1 trillion). For example, 1 Mhash/s indicates 1 million hash calculations are done every second.
