Hi,

Wondering... would I be able to mine bitcoin with a gaming pc with 3 x 12gb titan XP graphics cards?

Otherwise what can one mine with a 10-15k budget?

Thanks

It is possible yet but it is not worth start mining with the PC. With bitminter and Nicehash mining software you can mining the bitcoin and certain altcoin zcash or altcoin with your PC. Your amount charged for using PC electricity will be 10 times bigger than the amount you mine with your PC.
You can buy the good and higher end miner to get the profit. You can 1k or 2k dollars easily making mining farm.

No mate that is not the way to mine bitcoin. Bitcoin can not be mined with gpu very effectively. It has to be done with asics and that too with most recent one if you want to have good returns easily. So with that comes the bugger investment. You have pretty good budget. You can checkout the hardware within your limits on the bitmain site or amazon if you trust it more.

CPU/GPU mining of bitcoin has been irrelevant for years. See here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitcoin-mining-101-just-the-basic-facts-2017-1944976
ASICS miners are the only way to go now. Check the hardware threads for S9, T9, R4, A6, A7, and Ebit. Once you wade through all that, you should know if you want to jump in.

Thanks for this.

So with a 15k budget one should simply buy 6 S9’s?

Yup!

Titans are a VERY poor choice to mine on, unless you already HAVE the bloody expen$ive things - they don't give any more hashrate than the 1080ti does (or at least not that you would NOTICE) yet cost almost twice as much.

A triple 1080ti rig would make a lot more sense, even from a "insanely high end gaming system" standpoint.

Bitcoin FTW!

Gaming PCs aren't ideal as the CPUs often use more power, but you can use the CPU to mine XMR and the GPU to mine most GPU coins like ETH. Nicehash is good if you don't want to constantly switch between the most profitable coins. It also automatically converts mined coins to Bitcoin. Mining BTC with any PC would be extremely unprofitable- you might make a penny in a month.

Titan XP cards actually don't do much better than Nvidia consumer cards IIRC- it'd be better to simply use GTX 1080Tis/1080s for mining.

BTC Mining Hardware, Trading and more

Just try out some mining calculator to check if it's worth it - easy to find on google. For just quick n dirty testing of your untweaked systems mining perform one could use a software like Nicehashminer.

Yes you would, but it'd be stupid. Your power costs would be about a thousand times higher than what you'd mine and you'd be a lot better off just buying coins directly and waiting for them to increase in value.
