What each NVIDIA card actually earns mining
Updated September 2026 · measured on our own rigs, not estimated
Almost every "GPU mining profitability" page you'll find is a calculator multiplying a published hashrate by today's coin price. We run these cards ourselves, so this page is the other thing: what they actually produced, read off the rigs. Figures are gross.
Measured earnings, per card
Pearl rows are live: our measured hashrate at today's PRL price () and network difficulty, as of . Gross; the price moves both ways.
| Card | Coin | Measured hashrate | $/day | ≈ $/month |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RTX 4070 SUPER | Pearl (PearlHash) | ~135 TH/s | ≈ $4.35 | ≈ $130 |
| RTX 4060 | Pearl (PearlHash) | ~57 TH/s | ≈ $1.84 | ≈ $55 |

Hashrates measured on a 3× RTX 4060 rig and a single RTX 4070 SUPER, both mining continuously, and re-verified 13 September 2026 against the pool’s own 24-hour average for our address (313 TH/s across the four cards, against 306 implied by this table). Dollar figures recomputed 13 September 2026 at that day’s price and network difficulty. Gross, before any costs of your own.
The coin matters more than the card
Before narrowing Pasiv to one GPU coin, we ran the same RTX 4060 on two of the long-established GPU coins as well: ~$30 a month on Pearl against under $3 on either of the others (13 September 2026; Pearl's price has moved since — the live rows above show today's). That is more than a tenfold spread on identical hardware — far wider than the gap between a 4060 and a 4070 SUPER on the same coin.
So the honest answer to "which card should I mine with" is: the one you already own. Upgrading a card to mine is a poor trade; pointing the card you have at the right coin is most of the difference. That is why Pasiv's GPU mines Pearl, full stop, and why the app shows each card's live estimate before you start: the right answer changes with price and difficulty.
Does the card scale the way you'd expect?
Roughly, yes — and that's a useful sanity check on any number you read elsewhere. The 4070 SUPER measured about 2.3× the 4060 on Pearl (135 vs 57 TH/s), which tracks the difference in compute between them. If a calculator promises you a multiple far outside that, treat it with suspicion.
For cards we haven't measured, scaling from these two by relative compute will get you closer than most published tables. We'd rather say "we haven't run that card" than invent a row for it.
What you need
- An NVIDIA card, Turing generation or newer (GTX 16 / RTX 20-series and up). Pearl runs from 3 GB of VRAM. AMD Radeon is paused since Pasiv 0.6.11: the GPU engine is CUDA-only, so Radeon cards aren't offered Pearl until an AMD card has been measured on it.
- Windows or Linux. GPU mining isn't available on macOS; Apple Silicon machines mine on the CPU instead (what a Mac earns).
- Your CPU can mine at the same time — Monero on RandomX — so the whole machine earns, not just the graphics card.
Frequently asked questions
Is mining with an RTX 4060 worth it?
On the right coin it produced about $30 a month gross on our rig at 13 September 2026 prices (the table above has today's figure) — meaningful for a machine that's already running, and not a business. On the long-established GPU coins the same card made under $3 a month, which is why coin choice dominates the answer.
How much does an RTX 4070 SUPER earn?
About $2.37 a day, roughly $72 a month gross, measured on Pearl at 13 September 2026 prices; today's figure is in the table above. That's ~2.4× a 4060, which matches the difference in compute between the two cards.
Why are your numbers lower than other mining calculators?
Because these are measurements rather than projections. Published hashrates are frequently optimistic — our own measured figures on other GPU coins came in well under the numbers quoted around the web — and a calculator can only multiply the number it's given. We'd rather show you the smaller true one.
Which coin should I mine?
Pearl paid best across our measurements, but it's a small, volatile coin and that can change. Since Pasiv 0.5.0 the GPU mines Pearl by default, and the app shows your card's live estimate before you start.
Does it hold my coins or need an account?
No to both. You connect a wallet or paste your own USDT address, and the mining pool pays it directly — Pasiv has no wallet, no balance, and never asks for a key. There's no signup. Pasiv's cost is a 4% time-sliced fee, only while mining, logged in the app next to a public fee address. The pool (unMineable, 0.75%) and the mining engine take their own small fees, listed in the whitepaper.
