Okay, so we've got this awesome NVIDIA
RTX A6000 GPU let's do some serious deep learning on this, and have a look....
Oh wait, you guys want to see CyberPunk 2077. Okay, well I did a whole video on
that. The short answer is the frame rate with this high-end GPU and 4K output is above 70.
Okay so we've answered that we've done CyberPunk 2077, now we can do some deep learning, right?
Ethereum?? What's Ethereum??
Okay, it's mining... I mean like Minecraft RTX? Now, I know what Ethereum is, so let's go ahead.
You you've asked me about this a lot of times in the comments, let's do Ethereum mining
on an NVIDIA RTX A6000, and stick around to the end because at the end we're going to also
talk about pizza delivery with a Lamborghini, so kind of the same concept. So let's get started.
Okay, so here we are I am mining Ethereum using the RTX A6000 so let's just have a quick look
now. I let this run for a bit, so I've mined about 0.0265 Ethereum, at least on my first run of this
when I was trying this out last week. I also mined 0.05 Ethereum,
i think that's worth around a hundred dollars. It's all, it's pretty much in free fall the last
few days so we'll see where that goes. If you put that into dollars it's made about 43 dollars in,
i don't know I've had this running maybe a couple of days testing this out while I was not using
this card for anything else. The overall current hash rate that I'm getting and this seems to be
the key number that everybody is interested in is 81.4 MH/s and I've noticed even on the new NVIDIA
CMP cards that are specifically built for this that is the number that they're that
they're quoting. So there it is that is that's that's the number and you can see
what this chart has been doing over over some time now. Let's talk about this briefly in terms of how
I'm running this. I'm not going to do a how to mined Ethereum video there's a million of those
totally recommend, Son of a Tech channel, if you want to look at that, I followed his
guide was quite useful. I modified it a little bit so we are we are running lolminer,
which is you can get that on GitHub and I looked on i looked on their GitHub repository it's
binaries. So okay, we're going to run binaries that we download from GitHub, what could possibly
go wrong? There for cryptocurrency and when you install this too your virus checker immediately
flips out so I ran this in a Docker image, because i don't trust anybody on this kind of stuff. I
don't trust binaries so it's running in a docker image that I created specifically for it I'm not
going to release that docker image, I am not a crypto miner and I don't want to maintain it,
and I'm sure somebody has a better Docker image out there that knows more about this than me.
So it is basically connecting to this this mining pool that I have a part of here
that is my my wallet's hash, I'm pretty sure it's safe if you see that I think it's like a public
key, nevertheless I'm gonna block that out I don't see myself doing a lot of Ethereum mining, but 43
bucks I'll at least I'll at least transfer that to my to somewhere useful. And I mean this this might
so the the A6000 as far as using it as a crypto i mean this is a pretty decent hash rate in terms
of a single GPU going at it from what I've read on this. So yeah, it's a pretty decent pretty decent
crypto miner, really but then let's look at the estimate it's estimating that USD monthly
I'll make about 300 on this minus my my power cost which I took a look at and it's
it's not that bad it's maybe like 10, 15, 20 by my estimate
looking at uh what my local power rate rate. Is not something I plan on running long
long term-ish so I mean I might calculate that more I'd ultimately compare my power
bills probably if I was really going to do serious with this so at 291 dollars a month to
to basically buy my to pay this this GPU back we're looking at well over a year,
uh so that's that's not going to happen and that's part of the math i think that you do
on these GPU cards in terms of how expensive is the GPU versus does it have enough to to get you
to what you're going to need to be profitable as as a crypto miner and that's why I made the
comparison earlier it's like you could buy a Lamborghini and use it to deliver pizza.
They don't care what car you came to the house in to deliver the pizza now maybe
you could be an Uber driver and because I've been picked up by some some pretty expensive cars in in
Uber and I think that makes some degree of sense because they can get a premium level, I forget
what it's called, in Uber you probably wouldn't want to have a Lamborghini as an Uber car because
I don't think you're going to ever make that back. But, if you're somebody who, I don't know has a
nice Lexus or Mercedes or something like that and you want to earn some extra money on Uber,
then yeah perhaps perhaps it makes it makes sense and that's what I could see on this
is if you're a deep learning person and like me and you've got this this GPU, that
sometimes maybe a week or so during during the work week when I don't have a lot of time
to work on projects. I could potentially have this thing mining and see see what it's going to do so
it's it holds to the comparison because would you want all those extra miles on your expensive
sports car maybe do I want to potentially wear this this card out ether mining and
and generally I don't think there's too much of a risk there the card is
built to run hardcore on GANs and other things that I would train it on for potentially a week
at a time. So I'm not too worried there. So who knows, I mean that could be a potential for
for you if you're looking at buying an expensive card like what a like what the hash rate on a 30,
90 would look like would be interesting. Okay thank you for watching this video
if you are a crypto miner probably subscribing to my channel won't do much for you but
if you're interested in deep learning artificial intelligence and other things like that please
subscribe to my YouTube channel and think about giving my channel a like, thank you very much.
