Gotta love how the miners tell the gamers to just "deal with it"...
Gamers are the driving force, behind the innovation and advancement of graphics technology.. From the S3 Virge... Voodoo 2.. and now your double slotted GTX's... WE, gamers demanded the best that AMD/ATI/Nvidia can provide.. .NOT YOU greedy ass miners.
And now for you to come along and just tell us to "deal with it".. yeah.. F you .
I didn't say I want to make it illegal to. Are you fucking nuts?? Read -
Speaking of 1050 Ti 4gb. The MC paper flier has an ASUS listed at $150 but shows exact same SKU# on their website at $330.

So guys which is best bang for buck mining GPU? I am thinking of throwing 6 of them on a shelf to mine some pocket change. I was thinking 1080 Tis but they are hard to come by. Also is Nicehash the best idiot proof mining program or shall I look for some other program. Hit me a PM or something.
You're kind of late to the party. 1050 Tis are pretty much the only ones you can easily get right now.So guys which is best bang for buck mining GPU? I am thinking of throwing 6 of them on a shelf to mine some pocket change. I was thinking 1080 Tis but they are hard to come by. Also is Nicehash the best idiot proof mining program or shall I look for some other program. Hit me a PM or something.
I have two 1080ti's and a 1070ti mining most of the day and night. I use my 1070 to game with and my 1080tis are Asus Poseidons downclocked a little and fully underwater. I have made over $100 in the last 4 or 5 days or so. The BTC price is fluctuating so I might have only made $80 or maybe $120 depending on what the price is doing. I lost an entire day when I rebooted my dual 1080 SkylakeX rig and forgot to start the mining software. Otherwise i'd have even more.
1070s make about $5.00/day downclocked a little to save from cooking them. 1080ti make between 7 and 8/day on avg. If you can find a box of 1070s I'd go with those or even 1080s. but the Tis just cost too much right now for any return in any substantial amount of time.
its better to just take the money you would buy GPU with and just buy coins straight up for cash. Then sit on them.
I am going to continue mining until I have about 1/2 a BTC to my name. Then sit on it for the next decade.
In the mean time I am thinking of getting a few thousand dollars of other high risk alt coins and making up for my losses with the winners.
At anyrate I think even GPU mining is going to become so difficult soon that its not going to be worth it. There are new batches of ASICs coming online soon that will probably raise the difficulty too high and even pool mining is getting to the point where you don't make that much. You can still drop $20K on GPUs right now and pay it off in a few months but I don't know for how long.
I am seriously counting on the price of BTC to completely bottom out, a major bubble burst, then I can snatch a ton of it for cheap, and then let it skyrocket again over the next few years,.
And about NiceHash, if your gonna mine using Nice hash they will not let you xfer your coin from their wallet to a wallet of your choice until you have amassed 0.01 BTC which takes quite a while unless your running 5+ Gpus.
My real income winner I am counting on is getting through Medical School at 37 years old, about to start soon, and grabbing a nice General Surgery fellow followed by a long shot attempt into the world of Neuro. But until then I am just an average joe working hard to pay mah bills.
No need. The cards I saw on the shelf had the lower price.Take the flyer in and call them out ... they will honor the flyer price.
Some ahole on craigslist...
Yes, but are the cards in stock at your local store priced that way?Micro Center prices are hilarious. Do they really think anyone will pay these prices?
These are in stock at a store near me, (Chicagoland/Westmont)
Yes, I said that already, and you can pick Westmont as the store location from the drop down at the top. Then you will see yourself.Yes, but are the cards in stock at your local store priced that way?
My mistake. Did not realize you actually visited the store and were not just looking at the web pages.Yes, I said that already, and you can pick Westmont as the store location from the drop down at the top. Then you will see yourself.
Of course maybe someone will get desperate and buy at these prices and they may go fast, who knows.
I did not go to the store, but I don't need to. If you pick any store, it shows you the quantity in stock. Most just have 1 or 2 in stock, so no large quantities.My mistake. Did not realize you actually visited the store and were not just looking at the web pages.
Apparently you do need to go visit then. Been saying that prices on the web page are not indicative of ones on the shelf. And if they are inflated at your particular store, pick up a flier by the front door and make them honor what is advertised.I did not go to the store, but I don't need to. If you pick any store, it shows you the quantity in stock. Most just have 1 or 2 in stock, so no large quantities.
It seems like the ones that were in stock earlier in the day are still there, so they jacked up prices so high that even the miners won't buy them now. They got too greedy and went to far, at least for now.

NVIDIA Asks Retailers To Stop Selling To Miners & Sell To Gamers Instead
https://wccftech.com/nvidia-instructs-retailers-stop-selling-miners-sell-gamers/
NVIDIA is reportedly asking retailers to stop selling its graphics cards to miners in a bold move by the company to remedy the catastrophic GPU shortage that we’ve seen take hold for the past several months. GPUs are consistently out of stock in all major retailers on a global scale and graphics card prices have seen a two to three fold increase over original MSRPs.
The company wants its cards to go to gamers instead and it’s trying to do so by directly selling on its website and asking its retail partners to limit orders to two cards per person. When asked to comment, NVIDIA provided the following statement to ComputerBase.de
Boris Böhles – NVIDIA ( Translated from German to English )
“For NVIDIA, gamers come first. All activities related to our GeForce product line are targeted at our main audience. To ensure that GeForce gamers continue to have good GeForce graphics card availability in the current situation, we recommend that our trading partners make the appropriate arrangements to meet gamers’ needs as usual."

So as a normal PC enthusiast what should I be doing? I upgraded our PC for our daughter but left the old GTX 460 in it until I found a graphics card I wanted. Now with everything being distorted I almost feel extorted into buying something older for too much money. The best I see local to me is a GTX 970 Asus Turbo for $300CAD. I'm sure two months ago that card would have been half the cost but I don't know what I should do. I wanted a 3GB 1060 but that's like a pipe dream now. Even the HP Gaming rigs that sold for $500 on Walmart are now $560 ish on Ebay and people are just stripping out the 1060 and reselling the box.
It just sucks as someone in the midst of an upgrade.
GTX 1050 will stomp a 460 and is still available and easily obtainable and cheap. A 1050 TI can be had around $200
Newegg had 3gb 1060's in stock on Ebay for $279 IIRC.
Nobody is forcing you to buy anything - so it's hardly extortion.So as a normal PC enthusiast what should I be doing?

All this mining stuff is cool, my uncle does it, but still I'm trying to build my first PC and I can't even find a 1050ti for less than 200 dollars.
Tell your uncle he needs to sell you one!
thing is -- the ROI is fairly similar regardless of what card you get. Pay off a 1050TI making $2 bucks a day in 100 days, or pay off a 1080TI making $8 bucks a day in 100 days.Probably a good idea, except he mines with 1080tis, and I just want a 1050ti (
