GPU bench table

Measured hash rates per card on the Igneum lottery hash, with the generator version, the miner version, the date and the log entry behind each number.

The table

Best desktop card: NVIDIA RTX 5090, 136.1 MH/s (measured, 2026-10-06). Best stock MH per wall watt: NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti, 0.577 at 135.9 W, untuned (measured by the fleet, 2026-10-08). Best tuned: NVIDIA RTX 5090, 0.563 at 226.8 W (measured, 2026-10-06).

The rented model sweep of 8 October 2026 (23 rows, 22 models, every row untuned) found class v4's rate cap-proof: a card on a host power cap gives the same MH/s as an uncapped one. Class v5 held class v4's rate on every uncapped card and read 17 to 18 percent under it on the two power-capped hosts (an A4000 at 114 W, a GTX 1080 Ti at 130 W), so a class v5 rate needs the card's power state beside it; the table's rates are class v4.

One row per card on the current class: the class v4 program (the latency-shadow block over the class v3 hash), or a class v3 row re-measured with its class v4 cost on 6 October 2026 or later. MH per wall watt uses board or wall power; a row whose watts are the chip's (Apple silicon: GPU plus DRAM from IOReport) says so and is not ranked on that column. Integrated GPUs are not listed.

The bench numbers of 3 and 4 October 2026. A higher MH/s here is a different hash, not a faster card.

Why the rates changed

The genesis program did 104 dependent random 4-byte loads per hash over a 1 GiB dataset; the hourly program and class v3 do 128, with the mixer between them; class v4 adds about 100,000 integer operations per hash that ride in the memory wait. So the hash is bound by random-read bandwidth by design, and a card's MH/s is a relative number: the difficulty follows it, and the same card earns the same share of blocks at 136 MH/s on class v3 as it did at 228 MH/s on the genesis program. What a miner compares is hash per watt, and what the chain cares about is the chip edge, which the shadow work is there to cut.

How a row gets here

Every row names the engineering log entry or the job it came from. "Measured by the team" means our own hardware and our own log. "Reported by the fleet" or "measured by the fleet" means a machine we rent or do not own, read from the status lines its miner uploads or from a bench run on it.

MH per watt needs the card's power draw during the run. The app reads it on NVIDIA cards through the driver. Rows get the figure when a run records it. The class v4 cost column is what the latency-shadow work costs that card against the class v3 control, in watts and rate, where it was measured. The tuned column is the card's state at the row: a full Ember Tune names its point; stock means the card as it came, bench only or mining.

There is no other Igneum miner to compare with yet, so this table compares cards, not miners. The app that produces these rows: the miner page.

Fleet tuning priors

Ember Tune runs on every card the app mines with: the power limit and the core clock are stepped on the live program and the card keeps the point with the best MH per watt within 1% of its top rate. Every finished tune is reported back without anything that identifies the owner, and the fleet's median point per card model, driver major and program class comes back down inside the signed update manifest as the starting point for the next card of that model. A model needs 5 reports before its prior is used.

No tune reports yet. The first rows appear once five machines with the same card model have reported.

Measured by the team

  • NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 (driver 617, class l128w0, 2026-10-06, job ember-tune-pc1-6): 1854 MHz core cap, power limit 100% (575 W). 84 W saved for 0.15% of rate: 127.71 MH/s at 226.8 W (0.563 MH/W) against 127.9 MH/s at 311 W untuned (0.411 MH/W), 37% more hashes per watt. The chosen clock is the ladder's floor (60% of the maximum), not the optimum; the next cut's ladder goes to 45% and the climb walks on from here.
  • NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 (driver 617, class l128w0, 2026-10-06, job ember-tune-pc1-6): 1863 MHz core cap, power limit 50% (100 W). 30 W saved for no rate lost: 28.78 MH/s at 75.6 W (0.381 MH/W) against 28.72 MH/s at 106 W untuned (0.271 MH/W), 41% more hashes per watt. The chosen clock is the ladder's floor (60% of the maximum), not the optimum; the next cut's ladder goes to 45%.
