I paid $500/card for 1070ti's last week and again this week.  Check out the stats on whattomine to compare.  

Found something for you ... Just use this one ... I think you could make 0.3 cents usd per year.  But hey ... If you live to be nine hundred trillion years old, you might be rich later in life.

Seriously, please just read and learn.  Listen and learn.  Read and learn.  Listen and learn.  Stop being an idiot and come back when you have a legit question.

What kind of rig do you have?  How many do you have?  What are the power requirements for your rig(s)?  What is the max power draw from the electrical circuit?  How many rooms are on that same circuit?  FUCKING JEZZZUS, JUST DO THE FUCKING MATH.

Yeah ... Newegg currently has a FE Vega card for $750USD and you can only buy 1.  No one has had these things at a reasonable price for the past month.  I bought six XFX Vega 56's around November 26th for $525USD each including tax and shipping.  I love them.  A few days later I bought six more from B&H at $550 each on backorder.  A month later, they send me an email saying AMD has discontinued them and cancel my order.

I don't mind paying 600-625 per card for a Vega 56, if someone had them in stock.  Idiot on Amazon is selling one for $1999.00.  Yeah sure, I'll pay that much for a Vega 56 when the crypto market cap is trillions of dollars as a whole.  I'm just pissed off that I had an order for 6 in at $550/card and a month later, they say ... Sorry, can't fulfill your order ... Lol.  That and I need to buy more than one at a time. 

That guy doesn't know what he is talking about.  Mining is profitable to lots of home/small scale miners.  You are in the wrong section of this forum though.  If you want to know specifically about mining BTC, go to the bitcoin mining section.  This section is for fucking altcoins dogg.  Just don't create anymore threads like this one.

But ... If you ever thought btc mining was not open to the general public, you have a lot of fucking research to do, before you start mining.

Start by asking Siri or Alexa and begin your venture into the rabbit hole.  Read this forum until your eyes are bloodshot every day for the next 2-4 weeks.  When your eyes get too bloodshot to read any longer in a given day, listen to crypto content.  Come back and begin asking legit questions to clarify what you don't completely understand about what you've read.

Sure ... Here are the instructions ... Read, Listen, Read, Listen, Read, Listen, Read, Listen,  ... Come up with a plan of action ... Read, Listen, Read, Listen, Read, Listen, Read, Listen ... Change your plan of action and implement your new plan of action.  Read, Listen, Read, Listen, Read, Listen, Read, Listen.

A little more of ... Read, Listen, Read, Listen, Read, Listen, Read, Listen, Read, Listen, .... Make some changes based on your findings.

And there is more ... Read, Listen, Read, Listen, Read, Listen, Read, Listen, Read, Listen, .... Do that over and over and over and over again.

Congratulations!!!  You made it!!!  You are now a crypto miner.

I've had 6 Vega 56's on back order with B&H since November 29th.  An announcement was made around the 15th of December that the Nitro cards were shipped to retailers, but I haven't heard of them being sold anywhere yet.

Mine are actually GQ's, not G2's, but I bought (4) 1000W units last month and they each came with (4) 8-pin to dual 8-pin (6+2) cables.

Not sure if it was specific to the 1000W model, but I know the 750W and 850W models do not come with them, because I have some of each of those.

Phillip is the man, so whatever he says is what I would consider doing.  Personally, I would go with an 850W or a 1000W providing that you are able to connect everything and have close to equal power draw.  You can be equal on the cards, but you still have to power everything else.

Compare a 1070ti to a 1080ti, not a 1070 to a 1080ti.  Jezzus.

You could have just got (2) 1000W psu's and been done with it.  I don't like mixing and matching.  Get two of the same.  Hopefully you'll be sub 150w/card after tweaking though, so you could probably go with (2) 850W psu's.  Just do the math and figure out how you're going to connect each gpu to the psu.  I'm running into the same problems trying to downgrade from (2) 1000W psu's on a six gpu 1070ti rig (each gpu requires two 8 pins) that is only pulling 820W at the wall.

I have rigs running on 8 pin to dual 8 pin cables that are authentic evga cables with no issues.  Can't get those anywhere that I've found, so I've ordered some splitters from Amazon that have good reviews.  Can't wait to test those out, but you need spare single 8 pin cables for those ... I have a ton, but you may not. 

I wish I could find those 8pin to Dual 8pin (6+2) that the 1000W G2's come with.  Those are working just fine with both my Vega 56 rig and 1070ti FTW2 rig.  I'm building another 1070ti rig, but I'm looking to use two 750W or two 850W G2's, since these 1070ti rigs are only 820W at the wall.  Apparently EVGA doesn't sell them unless you want to buy the entire set of cables for nearly $100.  Might as well buy two 1000W G2's at that point.  I guess my other option is using two of the single 8 pins to 8 pins that I have a ton extra of with a splitter, right?  I'd rather buy authentic EVGA cables though.

Yes, mine are great.

Those are the ones I use too.  I've built two 6-gpu rigs with them.

Can the CPU1 and CPU2 on a EVGA 750W Gold PSU be used to supply power to a GPU?  Are they the same as the VGA's?

Don't listen to that guy.  He has no idea what the fuck he is talking about.  Bitcoin can't even be mined with a gpu these days, so in terms of gpu mining, it doesn't matter.  You are not mining bitcoin anyway.

Yes, a six gpu mining rig will eat up a lot of electricity, but that isn't a reason to not mine.  You need to figure out what you want to mine, how much your electricity costs, what the cost of your rig per month will be in electricity, and what you'll make from mining the coin you want to mine.  You also want to total up what it will cost you to build the rig and figure out how long it will take to pay for itself.  Once you have those variables, you can decide for yourself, if you will make enough money or not.

And it doesn't matter where you live or what the climate is.  If you have proper cooling and ventilation, it can be 90C outside and it won't matter.  You are not mining outdoors for fucks sake.

I was mining XMR on my Vega 56 rig.  I sold the XMR that I had mined and I'm holding it in BTC at the moment.  I'm really curious to see what ETN does.  My Vega rig mines a ton of it compared to what my 1070ti rig does with ZEC.  My only advice is do your own research and make decisons based on that.  Don't do something just because someone on a forum says it's a good idea with no explanation. 

With all of that in mind, you're making money with ZEC even if you cash it out to USD or whatever on a weekly basis at current exchange rates.  At some point, you have to take some profit to go towards the cost of the rig, but it's very temping to leave it in other crypto's that you like.  Whatever you do, do it based on your own research.

You have three open slots there.  Why aren't you using them?

It's not going to matter.  That board has six pcie slots and you could use all six of them for mining, if you wanted to.  It makes no difference as far as your hash rates if the gpu is in a x16 slot or not.  The boards I use only have (2) x16 slots and I use all six slots on the board for mining gpu's.

I'm mining zec as well on my Nvidia rig that consists of six 1070ti's.  A little over 3000 sol/s.  I don't cash out daily or anything.  I've never mined zec before and I'm only a few days into it, so I'm just watching the price and reading as much about zec that I can.  I'll wait a week or two and then make a decision on how I want to handle it.
