Thinking of buying a couple gtx 1080's(not TI, the model from last year)
pros >works nice with equihash(at least my current 1070 do) >no shortages
cons >not very good at ether and other putin-shillcoins
What do you think brehs? Is my nicehash output legit? Around 5 bucks a day with 1070, electricity is pretty much free/we need it for heating year round where I live
if you're going to spend the money for 1080s why not just go the extra step for the Ti? Also look up price/performance of lower cards.

How much a day with current rate?
Kevin Sanchez
arent they expensive as shit? especially 1080s
wouldnt buying several 480/580s be more cost efficient in the long run?
John Morgan
Yeah, that's what I'm unsure about, TI is same architecture, but a more of a "gaming card", it's also 40% more expensive, and not as readily available since it's new
I wonder if the price of the TI is worth it, probably not
Nathaniel Parker
Impossible to get AMD cards anywhere, maybe except used
pick 1080ti, see $/day profit, divide initial price by $/day profit
profit??
Blake Parker
thanks, breh
Seems like the 1050 TI is the best option, far exceeding most cards except rx480

67~ day ROI. If you got a shit ton of them you could be good. But remember about the extra hardware you need to build a mining rig
Bentley Sullivan
How much extra would that be?
Jaxon Cooper
You need a motherboard, power supply, a little bit of ram, and a shit hdd just for an os. I run with a usb stick but it's slow and I could have just gotten a shit 60gig for 10 bucks instead of the USB
You might also need risers and someway to hold all that shit. I built a shitty wood open air frame and it does the trick. I've seen some people use plastic crates.
The guy is meh but his frame is legit. Also make sure you get a CPU and mobo with enough PCI lanes, other wise you wont be able to use all the cards you want.
Brody Long
Thank you breh

You can mine cryptonight at a decent rate if you get the gtx cards with samsung gddr5 modules
I think they must've been rated to 9GHz but nvidia clocked them at 8Ghz
Christopher Martin
1060 is the only viable nvidia card for mining, since it gets around 80% of the performance of an RX 480/580 but can be found for $175 these days. But if/when radeon stock becomes more available, the 1060 won't be worth it anymore. The RX570 is a $170 card and outperforms the 1060 at mining.

What would be the cheapest busted shit to make a rig with 2 r9280x? Can I connect more than 2 at once? I have no fucking idea what I'm doing but I can get 4 of those for 470 dollars and if I can keep everything cheap so as not to reach 600 dollars I could get back the money in 50-60 days
Caleb Clark
The 280X is an old card that gets half the hashrate of current gen cards with a tdp of 250w. Not worth it at all.
James Carter
Is it possible to mine DGB with an sp20? I can buy one for about 100 dollars and it would be a pretty good investment
Josiah Nguyen
strat can be mined with a pi. that's got to be incredibly unproductive but I have one lying around. would it be worth it?
Bentley Stewart
How do I do group mining with networks? Do I constantly have to change the network address in case the group dies off?
Luis Morris
What's wrong with used? They're even cheaper that way.
Aiden Jackson
pls halp
Cooper Jenkins
the lifetime might be significantly reduced for used cards, the problem is you don't know
