Thats decent.  I just snapped up 6 evga 1080ti SC for $647.59 each.  I think I'm gonna grab at least 2 more.  GPU mining is gaining steam again Smiley

Nice!.  How did you get that price? seem to can't find that type of deal

Great price, where abouts?

I'm pretty sure that MSI Sea Hawk must have the cooler connected on the MB. Not sure if that is optimal for a mining rig.

Just my 2 cents...

The  radiator cooler fan does need to be connected to a 3or4 pin motherboard or fan controller of some sort.  Does add another floating wire so not as clean as a setup compared to the evga hybrid.  However at those prices points where watercooling is cheaper than the air fan cooling I wouldn't rule it out,  it's a small flaw

I would say that 2-3 GPUs is a gamer that mines as a hobby.... a "small miner" should be at least 1 full time dedicated mining rig with several GPUs... on up to a few dedicated mining rigs. After that you're running either a small, medium, large, or corporate level farm imo....




So someone with an open air rig with 2-3 GPUs is a gamer? Never played a game on my rig. And my rig is full time dedicated.

Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes


Someone with 2-3 GPUs doesn't have to be a gamer, but that is what I think of first when I hear 2 GPU rigs.  I'll just call it hobby miner and leave it at that.  I have 5 GPUs spread across 3 gaming machines and I consider myself a hobby miner.  My wife has a 13 rig business that we consider a small farm. In light of people out there that are running 100 rigs, let alone the really big farms with far more then that, I don't think you can call 2-3, or even 5-6 GPUs a small miner.  Anyways, it's mostly semantics, no offense intended to anyone. :p

stay mining in a few coins is more wisely than changing the coins. Because stabilty is important. when you change the miner change, change the pool, sometimes changing the oc setting, is wasting time.

Apparently we have different opinions then.
2-3 cards is a small miner for me. I think a lot of people will agree with me.  Roll Eyes

A few years ago, 2-3 cards was a small miner. But times have changed. Look at bitcoin gold. 500 000 gpu's out of nowhere. There are millions of minable dollars every day for the miners to collect, and the farms keep growing. A few months ago my spreadcoin mod did $15 dollars a day per 1080ti card, and the clondyke lasted for months. when you make $30 a day with just two cards you can buy another card in less than 1 month.

Difficulty is highest during a pump then by the time you get paid the price will have dropped.

1x 1080ti mining bitcore
 
ccminer 2.2 (free open source): 25MHASH
ccminer sp-mod #4: 33MHASH


if you have 100 rigs with 1080ti. (600 cards) you boost your hasrate with 4800 MHASH per day with the same power usage.

And you will ROI in less than 8 hours.

with 100 cards you will ROI in 2 days.
with 50 cards you will ROI in 4 days
with 25 cards you will ROI in 8 days
with 12 cards you will roi in 17 days.

Expensive?

(whattomine.com)



hhmm I'm up to 25 cards...  I have 11x1080ti and like 20 1070s.  are these ROI times based on how high bitcore is?  Wonder how long the pump will last

Hear hear!

with 12 cards you will roi in 17 days.

12 cards is a small miner. (1-2 rigs)

Use some of the mining profit to buy more cards.

So how about you make a version for us small miners that maybe has a higher dev fee than the paid version?

This offer absolutely makes sense. If i had a farm of 100`s of cards, i would thik about it no more then 2 seconds.


Same here. Too bad we don't have 100 GPUs. Cheesy



Just realised something. Think about it. Those people who can afford 100 GPUs can EASILY afford sp_'s modded miner.
Those who can only afford 1 or 2 GPUs can not afford the modded miner and wont buy it.
In the end, the rich -well those with a lot of money to spare- are getting richer.

Good thing I'm not sp_; The guilt would eat me. Cheesy
