No one can tell you that with certainty. It could be as few as four months discounting the power and cooling costs if the current crypto craze holds, or it could never pay for itself if everything crashes in price, as it has before.
Ya of course I understand that. I'm just getting an idea of how crazy it is to highend mine. I don't even care if I never get my cards cost back. Even getting 30% off a top end gpu like a 1080ti is more than enough to make me feel great about getting a top end gpu chip.
My new ssd just came in the mail so I have enough physical space to mine and still hold games on my gpu (mining was taking up enough gpu space equivalent to s game or more depending on the era of game you're talking about).
I been waiting to mine for awhile now since I don't want to use my 290 and prefer to use a more efficient chip.
I'm excited ethereum is still profitable to mine I didn't understand it would last this long. It sounded like this was drying up awhile ago.
I am seriously considering taking the 390s out of my desktop machine and replacing them with a 1080Ti. I figure at worst it should pay for the loss I'd take when Volta hits.
Same feeling except Vega is just so close and I know it's a better choice for me since freesync and crossfire.
If you don't have a tie in to buy Vega like I do, get it now for the mining bonus.
How much usd would a 1080ti generate at current rates and prices over the next 2 months?
I probably should have been using a 1080ti as a stopgap/mining card since it came out lol.
