Profitability Analysis
As a GPU, the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT offers algorithm flexibility — in addition to Monero, it can mine Ravencoin, Ethereum Classic, 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.
At 150 watts and an average electricity consumption of 108 kWh per month, electricity cost is the single largest variable in profitability. The difference between $0.04/kWh and $0.12/kWh amounts to $7.49 per month in operating margins — which is why electricity rate selection is as important as hardware selection for any serious mining operation.
Profitability at Key Electricity Rates
All figures assume constant Monero price ($317.00) and current network difficulty. Actual results will vary as both change over time.

How to Mine Monero with the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT
-
Acquire and receive the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT
Purchase the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT from an authorised reseller or reputable secondary market. Budget approximately $400. 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.
-
Connect power and network
Install your GPU in a compatible slot, connect PCIe power connectors from a high-wattage PSU (150W per card), and connect the rig to your network via Ethernet for stable mining.
-
Configure your Monero mining pool
Download mining software appropriate for XMR (XMRig for RandomX). Configure the pool endpoint and your wallet address in the mining software config file or command-line parameters. Recommended pools: P2Pool (decentralised), SupportXMR, MoneroOcean.
-
Monitor performance and optimise
After starting, confirm your hashrate matches the expected 39 MH/s in the pool dashboard (allow 10–15 minutes for the pool to register your worker). Use our live Monero 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.
