Title: Mining on the new GTX 1080? Post by: Rahees on June 24, 2016, 01:41:41 PM 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.

Would I even get a possibility of some profits? Should I just stick with cloud mining? Title: Re: Mining on the new GTX 1080? Post by: eternalgloom on June 24, 2016, 03:28:18 PM Here's a review I've come across, you can calculate yourself if it's profitable:

Thanks for your help, thank link was helpful!
