Re: 3080 16Gb & Ryzen 5900HX

Hello,

There are some new laptops which were announced recently with 3080 - 16 Gb and Ryzen 5900HX cpu. Do you think they would be good for mining and how much would be the hashrate for the 16 gb 3080? And also, can you mine monero with the cpu in the same time while mining ETH with the gpu?

The 3080 specs:
   NVIDIA CUDA Cores: 6144
   Boost Clock: 1245 - 1710GHz
   Memory Size: 16GB or 8GB
   Memory Type: GDDR6

Thanks

Based on a bit of Googling, looks like the specs for the laptop gpu are significantly lower then the desktop version
GPU Engine Specs: GEFORCE RTX 3080
NVIDIA CUDA® Cores:8704
Boost Clock (GHz)1.71
Base Clock (GHz)1.44
Standard Memory Config: 10 GB GDDR6X
Memory Interface Width 320-bit
Graphics Card Power (W) 320

GPU Engine Specs:GEFORCE RTX 3080 LAPTOP GPU
NIDIA CUDA® Cores: 6144
Boost Clock (MHz) 1245 - 1710 MHz
Standard Memory Configuration: 16 GB GDDR6
Memory Interface Width: 256-bit
GPU Subsystem Power (W): 80 - 150+ W

Have to say looks like a pretty awesome laptop (although i would only ever spend £400 max on any laptop, and probably then go for a chrome book)
I guess for me at least, you buy a laptop to use as a laptop, and if you only want max mining performance you might be better saving on the laptop and getting a dedicated desktop (or rig)....as they say "The choice is yours"

Yes, the main use of the laptop is for work and gaming, I was just wondering if I could just earn a bit extra while not using it for that, but it seems that is not a good idea. What about the cpu mining?

I think you're missing the point slightly.
No one is going to tell you exactly what you can or cannot do, or advise you what is safe.

I think you simply need to look at any performance desktop PC and look at the size of the air coolers, or the water coolers they are using, along with the huge power supplies and it becomes obvious that a laptop cannot be expected to do the same.
So YES, you can cpu and gpu mine with a laptop, just like you can mine with a raspberry pi 4 as well....but how well it performs, and how long it will last....well no one can tell you that.

If i was going to cpu mine with a laptop, i'd only use 1/2 of its cores (not threads), so on a 8c/16t cpu, i'd use 4 cores....might not overheat too quickly....
Be interested to know how things turn out for you.
Keeps us updated please.
