I found this (http://cryptomining-blog.com/3503-crypto-mining-performance-of-the-new-nvidia-geforce-gtx-980/).

Nah, The profit is really low and when people invest into it the difficulty rise and thus no body wins..

Your loss.  The earlier you get in, the better the profit.

Man, talk about blowing all the AMD cards outta the water with hash/watt...

I found this (http://cryptomining-blog.com/3503-crypto-mining-performance-of-the-new-nvidia-geforce-gtx-980/).

So the performance scales well. 3 times performance with 3 times computing units (2048/640).

Get a rig with perhaps 2 or 3 970s in it, if it has the space.

Reminds me of the R9 280x and the 290x. The 290x had the better hashpower,but was hotter and more expensive, so was better to have 2 980x's than 290s

I think for X algos and others, not scrypt, the 970 could be the new R9 280x here.

Interesting article anyway.

If only I had the money to get the 980 I wanted right now.
