Mining Hardware comparision

I try to compare the efficiency off available Mining Hardware for grin mining (Cuckatoo32). My GPU data is from www.whattomine.com. Based on that data AMD 6800 seems to have huge advantage to other GPUs. Has someone tried some AMD 6000 series GPU to mine grin and can confirm, or correct?

(Name: Power | Hashrate | 1/Efficiency)
G1 Mini: 100W 1.5g/s 67J/g
NVidia 3090: 290W 1g/s 290J/g
AMD 6800: 150W 0.9g/s 166.7 J/g
NVidia 3080: 250W 0.8g/s 312J/g
AMD VII: 200W 0.7g/s 286J/g
Nvidia 3070: 180W 0.5g/s 360J/g
NVidia 1070ti: 130W 0.26g/s 500J/g

This needs to be adjusted down to account for the ~5% rejection rate.

With thanks to nicehash.com and whattomine.com where I collected the data today. On this data NVIDIA 4070Ti is now more efficent than AMD 6800. But like @Neo mentioned in Discussion: Bounty for new GPU solver with better efficacy than a G1 mini it is likely that optimized solvers would impact the results.

Im amazed at how close some of these are to the G1 in terms of efficiency. The ASIC is obviously more efficient, but not by orders of magnitude as I expected.

NVIDIA 4070Ti look cool except the return of investment to mine Grin with current price.

I think Cuckatoo32 is on the edge to be ASIC friendly and ASIC resistant. I assume the advantage in power efficiency that ASIC could gain, will stay within one magnitude or less. From my perspective it seems not unlikely, that some future hardware for other purposes (CPU, GPU, KI-engine, ect.) will be able to mine C32. Since a while there is a hype around chip manufacturing with huge investments. (ASML, […]) One one side it is bad for grin that future of C32 mining is not as projectable as sha256 mining was. On the other side that is also very exciting to watch.

For the AMD RX 7900 XTX 24GB is no C32 data available.

Interesting re 4070ti. I wonder if anyone has one and can verify the power draw? Could be error.

^It’s probably the best price/performance 40 series card, so alot of gamers could end up with it.

Would be interesting to see what a 7900XT would be capable of. Similar RRP to a 4070ti but with almost 2x the memory and bandwidth.
