onebigindian Posted October 23, 2020 Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 Are the new Nvidia cards, such as 3080 and 3090 VIABLE for mining? ie. if I use them then the money I make will be GREATER than my electricity costs? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzkillb Posted October 23, 2020 Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 Good question. Been trying to find one in stock. Not sure if there is that much POW out there where GPU mining is worthwhile in general at this exact moment, unless spec mining. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onebigindian Posted October 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2020 What's "spec mining"? POW is proof of work? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spec mining is mining a new coin that's not on an exchange. Speculating one day it might be more valuable then the energy to mine with no price set. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 It would depend on your situation, how many you are getting, what you are mining, what your power cost is, etc. 1 Quote Founder of BlockForums.org - PM me for any help - Join our Discord Server: https://discord.gg/UPpQy3n Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luigi Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 I have ordered a 3080. Don't got it yet, but def going to test it out on whining when it comes. I'll try to let you know. In general the 3000 series is faster and more efficient then the previous one, not sure how profitable it is to mine with, but it's better then the previous generation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not viable for a typical mine whatever it at the top of whattomine for daily profit. But if the GPU was for say your gaming PC and you mined when not gaming, that brings a bit more into the equation, as you already were buying the GPU for another reason. Or if you spec mined new coins with no exchanges, thats always a possibility. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
