Good time to buy GPUs?

[gsrcrxsi314]

It is always better to buy latest and updated versions for GPUs as they are more efficient and sometimes cheaper or slightly expensive than the older/previous models.The grey/used market is also a good source to buy GPUs and much discounted price especially when the market is down as newbies tend to sell away to cover the losses and exit mining

i personally think that anyone who buys a 20-series card for mining is going to get burned.

they are outrageously expensive, and it looks like they will use even more power (judging based on the HUUUGE HSFs on most models). I really doubt they will be much, if any, more power efficient than 10 series cards.

i'd love to be wrong, but i just dont see it.

for example, a 1080ti is the most power efficient card on ETH with the ETHpill.

50-55 MH/s @ about 150-160W. and they cost under $500 right now.

if you assume the 20 series cards will be the same power efficiency, this is what kind of hashrates they'd have to produce to justify the price over a used 1080ti. (based on EVGA prices for the cheapest 20 series models they have right now)

2080 - 80MH/s
2080ti - 120MH/s

i just dont see that happening.

I think it is better to wait for a new launch GPUs. Which Eth  price low. than GPUs buy real time.

Yes i expect them 20-30 % only more efficient, but also as ethereum mining is Memory focused , none has tested yet how GDDR6 could work.

If we undervolt the 1080Ti more, then it is more efficient than the 2080Ti. The price will be much lower.

Mining should be looked at as if it was a long term position, and the assets or coins that are received should be held or HODL, lol.  After a few years, these coins will be normally worth many times the price that they were at the time that you started mining them.  For instance when I started mining Ethereum it was $8-$10 or so, and it's now had a high of $1,417.  My personal opinion is to not sell your mined coins until it's extremely advantageous to sell them.  As to whether or not it's a good time to buy GPU's, the answer really lies in your personal finances, and if you'd like to purchase additional GPU's or not.  If you'd possibly have to sell your mined coins due to having purchased more GPU's, statistically speaking it would be more adventurous then for you not to at this time.  Although if purchasing them wouldn't hurt your financial status and you'd be able to continue saving your mined coins, then purchasing extra GPU's and miners is always a great idea, in my humble opinion. I hope this helps.
