Topic: 1070/1070ti retirement (Read 200 times)
After 5 years of stirling service and a lot of modifications I'm retiring my rig of 8 x 1070's. My remaining 2 rigs, each with 8 x 1070ti's are running at around break even so will keep them spinning a few more months, at least until the Australian winter is over.
The question now is what to do with them? The 1070's are old cards now and I can't imagine there is much of a market for them especially considering their mining history. (Though one could argue they are thoroughly tested!). I doubt it would be worth the hassle of listing them on ebay. But I can't yet bring myself to throw away perfectly good cards. So I will probably store them for 10 years and then throw them away!
What do you do with old mining cards that are no longer profitable and unlikely to ever be profitable again?

When mining becomes unprofitable, be sure to sell these video cards to buy cryptocurrency. When the price of the cryptocurrency rises, you will buy new cards. And if the price of cryptocurrency does not rise, then you still wanted to throw away video cards.
You can even play Quake or tetris on it.
For rendering, such video cards may be weak, it may be used for password guessing or games that are not demanding on graphics.
Care to elaborate more on that "special software"?? I find it VERY curious that you could want so PM about that, sound very fishy.
It is still in the beta stage and there is a lot more work to do before I can release the platform to the public. I'm looking for miners who have farms of at least 50 GPUs in order to help scale the service up. After 5 years of stirling service and a lot of modifications I'm retiring my rig of 8 x 1070's. My remaining 2 rigs, each with 8 x 1070ti's are running at around break even so will keep them spinning a few more months, at least until the Australian winter is over.
I have special software that can enhance the profit of old Pascal/Turing mining rigs. Send me a PM if you're interested. I already doubled profit on my Tesla P100 rig, keeping it operational instead of having to sell.Care to elaborate more on that "special software"??

You guys are right, I tried selling the 1660 super days ago and after a long time bargaining the price the buyer said the GPU is just like 1070 to 1070 TI and he said he can get that for a cheaper price instead 
I ended up taking the deal.
I ended up taking the deal. You can be surprised with demand of older GPUs for gamers who don't have a lot of money and buy older generation of cards
Here in my country people still buy polaris generation, same as 1070 generation
Exactly my experience selling a load of GTX 1070's this month. 80% of the orders are from international buyers. Here in the states, the average gamer buys a RTX 3060 Ti-tier card. Here in my country people still buy polaris generation, same as 1070 generation

Do not throw away these cards. They're still decent for most games today/last gen under 1080p @60fps depending on the setting (medium-high). Did you see the Steam's Hardware Survey Chart that average PC users have nvidia 1060 as the most popular video card, something even weaker than 1070? No, your cards still have a decent after-market if you decide to sell them at your neighbor SEA countries where the average salary is low and most kids or students can't afford too much money on video cards. I said you can sell them at $150 per card or $100 minus all the labor costs, shipping,... if you want to get it done fast, in batch. That's around $800 there or even more!

You can be surprised with demand of older GPUs for gamers who don't have a lot of money and buy older generation of cards
Here in my country people still buy polaris generation, same as 1070 generation, they can handle full hd gaming and there's a great demand for gamers who only plays moba games
I would sell all the cards if you don't want to mine with them anymore, it's not a LOT of work, and you can have an extra buck
Another good things to do: donate them to someone who wants to play some games but can't afford a GPU, or even sell them cheap but in bulk, all gpus at the same time

For me 1070s are still profitable but it depends on how much you paying for electricity bill, if you can't cope with the electricity bill then sell your gpu and buy less electricity consuming graphic cards like 6600XT and 1660 super, for me they are the best.
