KHeavyHash and RandomX run through dedicated calculators — Kaspa and Monero aren't tracked by the main WhatToMine feed.
The RTX 4090 was released in October 2022 — the last hardware generation before Ethereum's PoS migration. Post-Merge it lost access to the largest mining market overnight, but it remains the highest-hashing consumer GPU on Etchash, KHeavyHash, and Autolykos2.
At low electricity rates (under $0.08/kWh) the 4090 is solidly profitable on Kaspa via KHeavyHash and remains break-even-plus on Etchash. Above $0.15/kWh, margins compress to near zero on most coins and the depreciation curve dominates the math. Run the live calculator above against your actual rate — that's the only number that matters.
What is the most profitable coin to mine on RTX 4090?
Historically Kaspa (KAS) on KHeavyHash has led, followed by Ethereum Classic (ETC) on Etchash. The live table above ranks today's options.
How much can the RTX 4090 earn per day?
Depends entirely on the coin and your electricity rate. Use the calculator above with your $/kWh — it's the only honest answer.
How many watts does the RTX 4090 use for mining?
Stock TGP is 450W, but miners typically power-limit to 280–320W for the best efficiency curve. Calculator defaults to 300W — adjust if you've tuned yours differently.
Is the RTX 4090 better than ASICs?
For coins like Kaspa and Bitcoin, no — dedicated ASICs (Antminer KS3, S21) dominate by orders of magnitude. The RTX 4090 wins on coins that resist ASIC development: Ergo, Ravencoin, Beam.
