I'm using a 2070 with vram OCd with 600mhz. My profit is about $4 per day, and I can easily sleep with it on right next to my bed. The fans are running at 1300 RPM ish. If I don't overclock it runs completely quiet and it reduces the profits to maybe $3.5. I'm also using the computer with no issues (except for some reason libreoffice for some reason) during the day. I don't know about the 3080 but I would assume you could do more than double my hashrate while also keeping it quiet.

look your card has an efficiency of with which it transforms electricity to heat. heat needs to be expunged. so you can only decrease electric consumption. if you do you decrease earnings. no way around that. people pay for hashpower on this market. hashpower increases with electricity consumed.

[Anonymous No.29022080]

>>29021921
the deterioration of GPU health due to mining is highly exaggerated, especially when it comes to mining ETH. if you're overclocking and going for least power usage you're also underclocking the core. maybe if you're running it for 3 years straight you'll see some failure rates rising - but by that time you would have made back 5x your GPU investment (depending ofc on ETH value and electricity costs).

It's gonna kill the card very fast if it's not setup right.

Mining is like running a marathon. You do want to be fast, but never overexert, never take a break.

Basic setups for cards are for games i.e. soccer, i.e. overexert and cool-off, eventually take a break.

Maybe you'll turn a profit with the wrong setup based on current rates, but not in more competitive times.

the reason you underclock core is because mining eth mainly uses vram, right? so, if electricity is free - why would it make any sense underclocking except if it somehow makes your fans run more quiet? would it make the strain mining puts on the card less even though said mining is almost all vram? call me retard all you like, I'm more than glad to admit I'm wrong if you tell me something I don't know.

You underclock to save on electricity, but also because video cards are kinda like engines.

To make things a bit more clear: the basic structure of a GPU is two parallel plates of doped conductors. Each switch of the clock slowly eats away at the plates.

Increasing the voltage increases the rate at which the plates degrade.

At 80% voltage the plates may last for 10 years. At 110% voltage the plates will only last a year or so.

okay this makes it a lot clearer, you underclock because that lets you undervolt which again makes your card last longer. the reason I didn't get this is because while I'm running my vram +600mhz and no underclocking what so ever I'm still only drawing <170W, where limit is 225W and max is 250W. I guess other cards will draw a lot more power from overclocking vram, especially 3080s because of gddr6x, thus making underclocking and undervolting more important.

He never said he lives off it but an extra 500 hundred a month is based.

[Anonymous No.29034502]

it's also highly unlikely he makes that much with a 3080. not even a 3090 get those numbers fully tweaked with current eth price

It is but I'm a wageslave, I can't have my PC running unnatended 24/7 for an extra 500. Unless I hire someone to help me

No that's not enough, I'm seriously considering moving my sis out of my parents house to help me with this shit if I can really pull 500 a month clean with that card.

Keeping this fucking thread in a tab lol

2x 3060ti. One pc on wifi and drops connection occasionally... Need to get a riser badly.
Right now at $381 profit, far from paying off, but could flip the cards for like 30% of what I paid for them, which is tempting and to dump it into crypto, far better gains.

from a movie you shouldn't watch

[Anonymous No.29036757]

Would it be worth it to mine on a 1050ti? I would be making 2,20 USD daily, but ETH will probably still go up a bit this bullrun right?

[Anonymous No.29036919]

>>29036757
you decide if it's worth it. that's 2.2 usd without you using the pc and it being on 24/7 though. if you're using the pc half of those 24 hours you can reduce that to something like 1.5 usd per day. you can always hope eth will explode but even if it did a 2x that would still mean you're only sitting at $4.4 dollars a day

I'll be getting some 3060ti's to replace my old GPUs soon. I'm on WiFI on my main rig since I dont have extra long cables. I rarely disconnect though, check your ping to the pool it might be high.

>>>Sell GPUs for ETH instead
Why not both? Thats what I'm doing. I'll mine until the cards start deteriorating or until its not profitable to home mine. Then I'll just sell the GPUs to the gamers that haven't been able to get GPUs. Win win.

>it being on 24/7 though
I forgot about that, keeping my pc on all night for 1 USD is definetly not worth it.

I think it's the wifi dongle. I get 50ping. I just think that crypto gains would be better than what a gpu can mine, especially now, that the cards are extra expensive. When price will go to break even, you won't be able to sell the card for what you paid for it, while now it's easy 300 profit per card. I'm torn.
The only real reason I haven't sold yet, because it's winter and also offsets my heating bills too. My room would turn into a furnace, if outside temps got to +5c
I've made 10x+ from crypto. Cards will never do that.

True, and I can totally see that if you just bought these cards for mining. I bought mine for gaming and have already been paid off, I just got bored of and decided to mine with it since all I would do is watch YT once I beat Cyberpunk. For me, this is just a side hobby that makes some extra ETH directly.

[Anonymous No.29038499]

>>29038092
Yeah, sort of same. Broke my leg at the start of bullrun and made quick profits, with which I bought the gpus for mining, but also gaming, because was bored af, with quarantine + broken leg. Now I just trade and shitpost on /biz/... I've played a few games though.
