Title: What to do with GPUs
Post by: cozk on August 10, 2014, 11:06:07 PM
Not that i care a lot but i hate seeing hardware doing nothing sooo...

VTC ? not profitable at current prices (and alt coin market is way too unsure to mine)

Scrypt ? nope

X11 ? nope

Option 1- Dump the hardware
Option 2- Hold the hardware, when prices are high / brighter future in sight for alt coins, you'll have it


Opinion on the situation ?

Sell it, unless you have GTX 750ti cards. 750ti's is the only card that is really profitable at the moment. AMD seems to be fading into the sunset unless the next cards are efficient like the 750ti, I like AMD.

Buy ASIC miners if you can get a good deal and ROI on them within a couple of months, if possible.

If mining doesn't work, then just invest and buy coins.

Sell it. People pay way to much for mininghardware including GPUs.

Quick buck for you and prolly more than mining with it for months barely beating electricity cost.

XCN, for now. But that can change anytime, just like anything in the crypto world. At least with the 750ti, you can at least break even with electricity cost compared to AMD gpus.

What do you pay for your electricity?

$0.1323/kwh (Tier 1) in the Northern California Valley area, San Joaquin County. It can go as high as approx. $0.30/kwh on Tier 3 and more.

Aside from cpu & gpu, what other options are there for X11?

That's pretty bad.  I'm break-even to maybe $500 a month profit @ ~.105 / kwh.

Sell it, GPU price is dropping everyday. If you want to mine in the future you can always buy back better and newer GPU..
