As a former ETH miner I learned the hard way that saving a few bucks on hardware may not be worth operational issues.

I had a miner running with Nividia cards and a miner running with AMD cards. One of them had massive maintenance demand and the other did not. I will not state which brand was better imho.

Currently I estimate that running miners and running gpu servers has similar operational requirements and finally at scale similar financial considerations.

So, whatever is cheapest to operate in terms of time expenditure, hw cost, energy use,… will be used the most.

P.s.: I ran the mining operation not to earn money but mainly out of curiosity. And it was a small scale business powered by a pv system and a attached heat pump.

I ran 150,000+ AMD cards for mining ETH. Once I fully automated all the vbios installs and individual card tuning, it ran beautifully. Took a lot of work to get there though!

Fact is that every single GPU chip is a snowflake. No two operate the same.

Have you ever written about this enterprise? This sounds super unique and I would be very interested in hearing about how it was run and how it turned out.
