Title: I GOT TO KNOW!!!
Post by: onmyown on December 16, 2016, 09:42:26 AM
Hey guys im really interested in getting involved in mining bitcoins, litecoins, etc.. idk..

I dont really have the money to buy cool stuff, if u know what i mean.
But what i do have is 6 of this EVGA GEFORCE 9800GT 1GB DDR3 PCI-E 2.0 HDMI.
My question is, is there any way that i can plug them toghether?
In order to combine them so i can make an nice cheap miner. If it possible, what kind of coins i could mine with that?

Thanks yall.  :)

Its pretty old one but i think it around 40 kHash little more or less that is pretty low  considering that now they have over 700 and if you combined them you will have around 240 still low and you will have maybe 0.1 ltc a day maybe this is done without calculation it may be more or less.

This is bad idea maybe sell all those and buy one that is good, only friendly advice.

Before you mine any coin kindly keep couple of thing in your mind.

- Do you own the space or will rent out(Cost involved in renting).
- What is the cost of electricity as few countries have high cost involved.
- What will be the total cost involved in buying new/second hand equipment.
- Level of difficulty will keep increasing so consider that as too.

they arent worth anything in mining because their hashrates are so low,plus there is high power draw
better is to sell for creating new mining rig. :)

As other members mentioned above i do agree with them. Its better to sell off those GPU since they are already old and even you have many of it the hash would be only small even if you have cheap electricity on your place it would not still ideal or profitable at all.You will only gain a small amount just wasting your time and effort on doing mining on those old rigs.

Since you already get the ideas and answers better to lock this thread. Thanks

you have six worthless card that were never used for mining, nvidia mining initiated with the last gen of maxwells and then pascal, so i don't know why you bought six of those, if you want a cheap miner buy some amd 470 gpu
