Profitability Analysis

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 requires very cheap electricity (below $0.011/kWh) to mine Ethereum Classic profitably at current prices. It remains viable only in the lowest-cost regions globally — such as large-scale hydro-power facilities or co-located industrial mining operations.

As a GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 offers algorithm flexibility — in addition to Ethereum Classic, it can mine Monero, Ravencoin, Alephium. Switching algorithms takes seconds and requires no hardware changes — this flexibility is a major advantage over dedicated ASICs during periods of low profitability on any single coin.

Profitability at Key Electricity Rates

All figures assume constant Ethereum Classic price ($7.00) and current network difficulty. Actual results will vary as both change over time.

How to Mine Ethereum Classic with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090

  1. Acquire and receive the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090

    Purchase the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 from an authorised reseller or reputable secondary market. Budget approximately $1,800. Verify the unit is complete and inspect for physical damage before powering on. Install the GPU in a compatible PCIe slot with adequate airflow in your mining rig chassis.

  2. Connect power and network

    Install your GPU in a compatible slot, connect PCIe power connectors from a high-wattage PSU (350W per card), and connect the rig to your network via Ethernet for stable mining.

  3. Configure your Ethereum Classic mining pool

    Download mining software appropriate for ETC (lolMiner or T-Rex for Etchash). Configure the pool endpoint and your wallet address in the mining software config file or command-line parameters. Recommended pools: 2Miners, F2Pool, HeroMiners.

  4. Monitor performance and optimise

    After starting, confirm your hashrate matches the expected 62 MH/s in the pool dashboard (allow 10–15 minutes for the pool to register your worker). Use our live Ethereum Classic calculator to track daily earnings against your electricity cost. Tune memory clocks (overclock) and core clocks (underclock) to maximise efficiency — a common starting point is +500 MHz memory, −100 MHz core, and 80% power limit.
