Can I run radeon cards with nvidia?

Does the HD7990 or R9 295x2 still yield very high hashrates compared to the 480s or 1070s or 1080tis? Also how is the Titan X in comparison to the 1080ti

Quote from: DutchFinity on October 29, 2017, 11:40:55 AM I don't have any tips. I have been thinking about mining too, but I heard stories that it's not very profitable in the Netherlands due to high electricity costs. So I lost interest. But perhaps when you have a couple of solar panels it becomes profitable again. I'll be following this topic for tips from the experienced boys and girls. Oh I live in a dorm my only cost is learning to sleep with the noise

Hello I recently set up my PC which has an intel 5820k and a Asus Strix 970. I would like to mine when I'm not gaming to help pay for future upgrades. I cannot seem to get 5820k to mine on NIcehash it just says there is a bench mark error. It's currently clocked at 4.2 GHZ athough nicehash claims its still at 3.3. The 970 will mine but only for about 1 USD a day. They estimated about 2 a day when I looked. I understand they probably over estimate but I figured I would get at least more than half there estimate. Currentl;y the gpu is not overclocked so I would need help doing so. How should I configure all the two? Also is nicehash the best option or should I use something else?

Quote from: Mike011 on October 25, 2017, 02:52:41 PM Nvidia 1080ti is the best option if electricity is free. Kind of pricey tho. Its better than buying like 3 or 4 older radeons for the same price perhaps even less?

Hi! I am looking to build my first mining rig and would like to see if I could scrap together some local parts first. So if you live in the Netherlands or close by let me know what you have. Also feel free to reach out if you have an interest in offering advice and tips to a local newbie

[/quote] Bittawm is actually selling D3s for $2500 each right now with shipping included (reputable member in the computer hardware goods section). Just be warned these things (as do pretty much all miners these days) sound about as loud or louder than vacuum cleaners and you can really hear em. Spending a hundred bucks or so can get you some decent soundproofing, Philipma has a YouTube channel where he documents making some Avalon miners quieter. They went down to 60-63db or so iirc but still a little bit loud. [/quote] How long would it take to get a ROI

Quote from: Good_Boy on October 25, 2017, 12:24:06 PM If the electricity is free, then it can be mined Zec with gtx 970 and monero for CPU. In fact, even with paid electricity is the best option I have my 5280k CPU overclocked to 4.4 with liquid cooling....Would I need to turn it down? WIll it actually mine very much? Yeah I couldn't give a you know what about either power efficiency or overall power consumption.....They cut so many corners in my dorm and I only save very little over my friends who live in amazing places so it serves them right hahaha

COuld I mine when not using it then keep it as my gaming computer when I want it? If I was to invest in mining what would be a good set up taking into account energy efficiency is irrelevant...infact with winter coming may need the inefficent power plant to warm up my room The most profitable miner when you have unlimited power isn't any GPU, but an ASIC. The Antminers will give you the quickest ROI if you can afford them. And I'm not talking about Bitcoin, the D3 and L3 are amazing if you can get your hands on them. But the most accessible would probably be the RX GPUs. Go for any Vega card you can find (not Frontier) or otherwise RX 500 series. My budget would probably range $500 for a 1 year ROI to 5k for a 1 month ROI

You can download it and be mining in about 5 mins. Very easy, you are paid in USD, you can stop the program anytime you want to game. From there, I would start looking around for used gear. Once you get past 2 cards it gets bulky and cumbersome. Because you need so little as far as cpu goes, you can find a cheap old Athlon or Dual core and just add cards. What would be some of the highest output to purchase cost GPUs? I was hoping there would be some powerful ones that go cheap because they are power hogs
