Topic: Asking about GPU (Read 799 times)

 1. Most of my GPUs have been bought from NewEgg, but a couple were bought from local folks via Craigslist and I think I got a couple at one point from Tiger Direct.
 2. WIDELY varied, depending on which GPU. Current active total is around 40 ONLY counting the ones I've bought as seperate GPUs and done cryptocoin mining on, and I've had 2 more die over the years.
 3. No clue what you are asking here.
 4. Many areas have "Time of Day" rate that will help lower bills some.
     The way I lowed my bill a LOT last summer though was to move to "The Land Of Very Very Low Cost Electric" in Central Washington State.
 5. I've done a little CPU mining of Monero, I do some BURST (Proof of Capasity, needs a LOT of HD space) and I have had quite a few ASIC miners (currently still have some Innosilicon A2 units mining away).
 6. See 5 - but be warned that CPU mining and BURST aren't real high profitability unless you have appropriate gear for them already.
 7. I'd estimate that my investment into my current farm is between $30k and $40k - most of that paid for with reinvested profits out of a few years of cryptocoin mining.
 8. Again, no clue what you're asking.
 9. This question makes ZERO sense.

Sa online store naman try mo amazon > https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss/144-4347295-6735454?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=GTX+Titan+X+12gb+384+bit

lol if there was a trick it would be illegal, don't steal electricity, and you can't mine without gpu, you can mine with cpu but it's less profitable, if you mean cloud mining that is a scam, roi vary very much, and you can buy gpu on amazon, but not for cheap anymore there is an huge demand now

1. Online
2. 230$ max, back when there was no shortage
3. Obviously. You can't just run 10 rigs, each pulling 900W on 10 or 13A breakers/sockets (most common) and 1.5mm2 cabling and hope for the best. If you do this, you are asking for trouble. I Installed 3 dedicated 16A30mA breakers and sockets + 2.5mm cabling to ensure I don't have a fire risk.
4. Other than living in a country with cheap juice, not really. Or invest in solar panels etc.
5. Monero is one of the last if not only coin you can CPU mine with a profit
6. Asics
7. All in, around 8000-10000$ (counting everything from aluminium for the frames to the electricity work). I stopped counting...
8. If you do things correctly, like planning your electricity to be able to support all that amperage, you will be fine. The rest is just common sense: avoid moist places, don't put your rigs near water sources, ventilation...
9. I don't understand what you mean

P106 from nvidia is a good gpu for mining. It is dedicated for mining since it doesn't have video output.

Mining is NOT fast money, if that's what you are thinking.  If you go in with 1 GPU, you might be making $1 a day at most.  But I would bet after electricity you would be looking closer to $0.25 a day on a good day.  On average the ROI for the GPU is around 4-6 months for people that know what they are doing.  If you mine the wrong coins with a GPU, you could even be losing money each day once you factor in cost of electricity.

I just want to try this GPU mining too but so far i dont see any place to buy the GPU here in my place before i found only 1 GPU GTX 1060 ti here but the price is so expensive so i ddnt buy that one. I just want to know if i buy only 1 GPU atleast for now would it be profitable at this time?

Anyways to answer your questions.

1)  A GPU is a fancy way of saying a Video Card.  You can purchase one at any computer store.  But the better ones are usually located online, or specialty computer stores.  Don't go to Best Buy and expect to see a really good Video card sitting on the shelves.

2) A decent card is probably going to cost you $400-$700 each.  Due to the questions you are asking, I wouldn't recommend going above 1 card for now, until you know what you are doing.  And actually if your planning on spending quite a bit, I would recommend purchasing an ASIC miner, then trying to make a large GPU miner.  If you need to ask what a GPU is, you really aren't ready to put together a multi GPU mining rig.

3) Not sure what you mean, but you will need to make sure you have a large enough power supply for your unit.  With a 1 GPU unit, a 600 W unit should be enough, once you go bigger, the Power Supply needs will start going up a lot.

4)  No idea, but if you know how to do this, you could become a millionaire without needing to mine.  Unless you plan on running a cord from your neighbors house to yours to plug in your miner.  (PS  you better not be my neighbor)

5) I really don't recommend you do any CPU mining.  There might be a coin or 2 out there yet that you can CPU mine, but probably not worth it.

6)  Yes ASIC mining, or in your case, you might want to look into Cloud mining.  A lot of them are questionable.  I can recommend the one in my signature or click here:  https://Micro-btc.com/?r=Vivisector999  as I use that one for some extra mining.  I think it's legit, but you never can tell.  If you click on my link and sign up, you will get a small fraction of a cloud miner as your own, which will mine for you for free.  If you want to it to mine faster, you will need to put some money into it though, like I have.

7)  That one is very random.  Basically the bigger you want to get the more you can potentially make.  If you spend $1000 you aren't going to become a millionaire by mining.  Mining is more a for the love of mining thing than a big money maker.  I can usually make more trading coins in a single trade than I make mining all day.  Some spend $20 purchasing some cloud mining.  Others spend $100,000 or maybe even a $1 million buying large ASIC miners to actually make some money.  With mining it takes money to make money.  But only do what you are comfortable with.

8 ) Cool  No harm no???  A GPU miner is not really that much different than running a computer in your house.  There are at least 2 main factors you need to consider though.  Miners suck down a lot of Electricity, so be happy knowing your power bill will go up a lot, or warn your parents if you live at home.  The second is Heat.  A typical miner throws a lot of heat.  if you live in a hot climate and don't have a decent air conditioner or place to put miners where it won't heat your house then I would say do cloud mining or don't bother,

9)  Not really sure what you are asking there.

too late and too many questions

HI hope someone will move this but if not Ill hope that this topic of mine wont be deleted becuse you know that of its repeated it will be deleted


Ps sorry if I wrote in a wrong forum

GPU have not been viable for use in Bitcoin mining for YEARS now, ASIC took over quite a long time back.

There are many ALTcoins that GPUs are viable on, but that's over there where the other folks pointed you to NOT here.

Here is a direct link to where this should be posted sir

Thanks

Hi there I would like to ask every person who tried mining so my question is:
1. Where did you get your GPU? Is it in a online store?
2. How much? And how many did you bought?
3. Did you did something to the electricity of yours ? Or no?

There purpose of this thread is to know where should I buy a GPU. So please do answers my questions it would be helpful for a first timer like me to the community of mining

>Additional Questions<
4. Do someone know a trick to get lower electric bills? I Already did my research but at the same time I want it to know from people here who tried mining (pros at mining)
5. Did you tried mining without GPU? I heard you can go mining without any GPU
6. I want to know if its true we can now get into mining without any GPU in hand. So what do you use? Is it just you computers? No upgrades?
7. How much did it cause you? (Please state if its dollers)
8. While in the process of mining 8months peroid there was no harm? Right? (In my mind something might happen in our house like that)
9. Did you lessen your use of technology in use at your house?
