Nvidia Quadro K5000 useless for mining?

[war3rd]

This is a very high end card, but being Nvidia, I'm wondering if there is any way I can use it to efficiently mine bitcoins? with 1,536 CUDA cores it's obviously got a lot of horsepower (for an $1,800 card) but are there CUDA miners that will let me use this card efficiently?

It's brand new and unopened, so I'm wondering if it's better to sell the card for Bitcoins if I cant use to mine efficiently.

Generally Nvidia cards are bad at mining, because they work with floating point arithmetic. Ati cards would had been a better choice because they deal with interger arithmetic.

Quadro K5000 is very much like downclocked GTX680, so you can get about 100MH/s with it. Hardly worth the effort, you better sell it.

Wow, yeah, that sucks for a $1,800 card. Definitely better selling it.

Do you know where I can sell a card like this for bitcoins? the "pay with bitcoin" market is pretty small still.

Sell it for fiat on eBay and buy BTC afterwards.

They are good cards, just not good for BTC mining.
