Newegg and other retailers like Microcenter in the US have jacked up their GPU prices by 40% e.g. this Powercolor Red Dragon RX 570 4GB that I bought for $190 a month ago is now listed by Newegg for $270. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131717&ignorebbr=1This will curb purchases for reselling, but just like the last GPU run-up in 2014, don't expect prices to come down anytime soon. Especially since GPU mining is more profitable now that it has been historically, including 6 months ago. |

Price is only one factor when mining and is only relevant to those who trade or sell what they mine. More important is difficulty, which has a direct impact in the number of coins you can accumulate through mining.

Thanks for the advice I certainly did not know her. Could you give me a guide where you can figure out how to start mining Dash?
Don't listen to the trolls, they just don't want you to mine. Dash has been taken over by ASIC's for years and is NOT profitable for GPU mining. RX 550's are not very good mining cards, but I would suggest downloading the NiceHash miner and running the benchmark. That will give you your rigs hashrate for different algorithms and you can then use a profitability calculator to see what are the most profitable coins for your rig. https://whattomine.com |

That double-sata adapter is actually an 8pin PCI connector.
I think what alot of people are doing is not wanting to use as many cables as possible on their modular PSU. So they hook up 3 risers to a single PSU cable (sata, sata, molex) and then the other 3 to another cable. Whereas you can split two risers between three PSU cables instead...
It's a 6+2 PCI-e connector, so you can use it as a 6 pin or an 8 pin connector. You should NEVER use more than two risers per PSU cable when powering risers from SATA or molex PSU cables. |

ASRock H81 PRO BTC R2.0 - $80
Why do folks insist on recommending a board that has been OUT OF PRODUCTION AND IN VERY SHORT SUPPLY (when you can find them at ALL?) for 2+ years now? For reference, Intel stopped making the chipset that board uses ballpark *4* years back. Says who, you? The board is available and has been all week, which is why I recommended it as a cheap motherboard specifically made for mining with 6 cards. Do you have a better suggestion for a board in that price range that supports 6 cards and is available? |

Yeah looks like in USA there is nothing but in Canada there is stock. So either there is less demand here or give it a few days for the supply to replenish for Americans. Yea, according to AngryChicken on YouTube, it's easier to get get cards for MSRP in Canada. https://youtu.be/jMEXK-ty3mE?t=557 |

p106-100 card is exactly same chip and specifications as for gtx 1060, just a little tweaked clock and memory, you may use 1060 but why use it if you can have hands on 1080 or 1080ti,
those guys at nvidia are making us idiots, first they seperated HPC cards from gaming cards and selling them at enormously high prices, now they seperated card for mining, while actually they are same. I am a researcher, and use GPU's for superconducting simulations, I know how they fooled us by selling k80's and m60's.
because 1080 and 1080Ti aren't so good for mining, and all other cards are basically sold out. LOL  these new "miner" cards were because NOONE bought "460" and "1060" so they reused the chips with a rebrand, anyone can see that or so i thought ;p If what you said was even close to true, overpriced 1080's and 1080 Ti's wouldn't be the only GPU's there was never an issue with availability anywhere. Spoken like a true 1070 bag holder dude they USED to be king but lets do the FACTS TODAY: --they bring in what 2$ a day each? pfft, hope you have a whole house for your 1070's cause your gonna need that many --they cost 60% as much at 1080ti, but you lose all that cash easy and more building WHOLE new rigs just to have the SAME HASH (even less in total) as 1080ti buyers :/ -- you end up with 25 rigs that cost the same as MY 12 rigs and i have MORE HASH :/ your crazy if you think 1070 is STILL better today. -- 1070 will have way less resale, tell me, whats a used 980ti go for now, hmm? 400 USD, STILL. whats a 970 go for? exactly., like 200 -- what are your MAN hours worth? jesus ill keep my 12 rigs over 25, thats a headache in itself... so have fun with your 1070 scramble starting now and over next 3 months, im sitting pretty on buying 1080ti's 30 days ago, ill easily ROI b4 volta, then get GREAT resale if i chose to sell, and buy Volta oh, and whats your arguement? people buy them? people buy garbage here all the time or is that new to you? Spoken like a typical buyer of overpriced 1080 Ti's, that's also bad at math! My argument is pretty clear for anyone that can do basic math and it doesn't require any convoluted prognostications. I mostly have RX 470/580 4GB cards that I bought for between $190 to $230 each and two rigs with a total of 9 cards and less than $2500 spent TOTAL on the two rigs. For the money I spent on my two rigs you can barely buy three 1080 TI's alone, which will give you nowhere near the same amount of hash that I get from my 9 AMD cards. As far a ROI, up until this month the rigs were generating $1000 a month and I'm currently well over half way of having the rigs ROI payed off. If I chose to do so, I could also sell the cards TODAY for ~50% MORE than what I paid for them. Try doing that with a 1080 Ti. That just shows you how badly overpriced 1080 Ti's are as mining cards. I don't have any 1070's, though regrettably I did buy a 1080 for $500 that I use for Zcash before I found out how overpriced they are for their performance. ROI is going to take A LOT longer on that one. |

Dual mining on a mixed RX 570/580 4GB rig I get ~116 MH/s ETH and ~2400 MH/s DCR @ 735W at the wall with a -96 mV undervolt in Afterburner. ETH - Total Speed: 115.951 Mh/s, Total Shares: 3828(965+968+1015+970), Rejected: 2, Time: 38:23
ETH: GPU0 28.742 Mh/s, GPU1 29.081 Mh/s, GPU2 29.092 Mh/s, GPU3 29.035 Mh/s
DCR - Total Speed: 2434.967 Mh/s, Total Shares: 15575(3877+3869+3930+3907), Rejected: 154
DCR: GPU0 603.589 Mh/s, GPU1 610.709 Mh/s, GPU2 610.935 Mh/s, GPU3 609.734 Mh/s |

Why would you want to sell a value producing asset? GPU mining is more profitable now than it has historically been, including 6 months ago. IMO, anyone who would sell their GPU's now got in for the wrong reasons.

I would suggest downloading the NiceHash miner and running the benchmark. That will tell you your rigs hash rate for different algorithms. You can then use a profitability caluculator to see what are the best coins to mine. https://whattomine.com |

Ahh snap so bitcoin is dead again?
uh–huh, so is mining. |
