Also it depends on how hard you are running it, I take you don't plan on keeping it running 24/7? I wouldn't worry about wear and tear from the gpu, many gpu's have taken a lot of work from mining and run fine, that and gpu's seem to have decent warranties.

I will be gaming at 2k max settings, so I guess I shouldn't use that card then. Thanks for your help, thank link was helpful!

Here's a review I've come across, you can calculate yourself if it's profitable:

I would not be mining with that card if you also plan on using it for gaming, not even on low settings, but someone might have a different opinion about that.

What if I was to put it on a very low mining setting?

Would I even get a possibility of some profits?

Should I just stick with cloud mining?

Hi, I'm building a brand new PC. I will be having a i7 6700k Processor, and a GTX 1080 SC Graphics Card.

I'm wondering, would it be profitable mining with that card? Anyone who has the card and tested in mining? Also, can mining on your PC wear down the CPU/GPU?

Thanks.
