what was the USD value of that crypto? how much did you pay in electricity to obtain that crypto?

nothing is free. and buying stuff with crypto when its valuation is the lowest it's been in a long time, yeah not the best idea.

no, people are dumping used graphics cards now to cut their losses. they bought in high to ride the crypto wave, and they dont want to deal with the slump.

i've purchased tons of used graphics cards over the years, and not a single one has ever been bad. i've actually had more bad cards that were bought brand new than used cards.
Nobody cares about used cards or new cards, same as guy few posts above that running p104 @150W, my p104's handle 40Mhs @108W and i purchased it from crypto money, not putting own fiat money at all, so that's
reasonable to "buy" it at almost free instead your "100$ cost"
Btw MSI has one year warranty on mining P104-100, other have 3 months  Grin

Bitnand just sent out a discount coupon for P104 cards if anyone is interested. They are offering $40 off on each card.

Not a bad deal imho. They also accept crypto for payments.

You can take a look here https://www.bitnand.com.

Coupon code is "p104bitcointalk"

you can buy a 1080 for $300 used and you can get 40MH with the ETH pill.

why would you buy a $400 card, for the same performance, and less resale value? that P104-100 can only mine and doesn't have display outputs, a 1080 can do everything else, making it much more appealing to potential buyers.

hell even the 1080ti is a better buy, less than $500 and does over 50MH with the pill with very low power use.

keep crying about your poor investment, its ok.

..i was bought 2x P104-100 one for 277€ (321$) and i have stable 40+MH/s on ethash i was really happy becouse my electricy is only 300W for both (and this is the reason - electricity)

cool story. my 1080tis use less power than that.

it's not very impressive. you could have bought a 1080 for less. they go for 300 all day used. sometimes even less

What you are saying makes no sense. How can you compare a new card price with old card price? The P104-100 is $400 brand new, that's a MUCH BETTER deal than buying some used old 1080 with unknown quality.

does a new card perform better than a used card? NOPE.

why buy a new card with a 90 day warranty, when you can buy a used card with 2+ years of transferable warranty left?

i've never bought a used video card that was damaged. its VERY hard to damage a video card from end user use. be it mining, or overclocking, or gaming, or whatever. the cards have built in protections from damage. if a card gets damaged, it was probably defective anyway and if you buy a used card from a manufacturer that carries a transferable warranty (like EVGA), if anything goes wrong you just RMA it no big deal.

again, no reason to buy a p104, unless you get them for like $100. then the risk of a failed card might be worth it.

It's about negative selection. People dump used graphics cards that are broken. You will encounter a high percentage of broken cards in 2nd hand market.

I heard the ETH block reward will reduce soon. So will it still be profitable.

After seeing the performance of RTX series, I am more convinced that the P104 is still the best mining card on the market.

40MH/s+ for around $4xx with the P104-100 is a really good deal imho. I don't think it's good to compare to AMD Radeon because per card hashrate AMD is much lower, and consumes much more power.

https://www.bitnand.com/product-page/nvidia-p104-100-mining-card

Agreed. P104 has surprisingly stood up to the test of time. The MH/$ and MH/Watt figure is still the best. I just wish Nvidia would release a new mining series card using the RTX series.

It would be sick to see a P-series card based on RTX 2070 pulling in 80MH/s  Roll Eyes

No.

1080s are cheaper. Get the same hashrate. And have resale value.

P104-100 is a terrible buy.

Ugh, not this shit again. You can go out and find second hand P104, and you'll see how WELL these cards have held-up in value. They are WAY more efficient than GTX 1080 for mining Ethereum. Furthermore, P104 is DEFINITELY cheaper than 1080.

By the way here folks solved the problem of overheating of the memory on p104 by removing two resistors on the main memory power supply circuit

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MA9_4tq2anA

"The manufacturer put them here for power surge potection, but now that the cards are overclocked they are more likely to melt the circuits down then to protect them from anything. We removed them and placed a jumper wire instead. "


Hi Buddy, my friend got an offer to purchase P104-100, the deal looks ok, price is $400/GPU. But I'm afraid at the current dump period, it's not benefits to mine with GPU, since asics miners are dominating the hashrate. What do you think?

by now it costs about $300 in china (i mean gpu card) may be not bad

Not worth it. You can buy GTX 1080s for cheaper , get the same hashrates and better resale value.

No brainer.

P104-100 is a useless buy. Unless you like wasting money.
