gpu bubble well and truly bursting

[Sev18]

Wow this tread is about a long time ago. I couldn't think that I will buy 1060 at normal price in future.

I think you can buy 1060 or 580 at much cheaper price now.

[QuintLeo]

1060 price is still somewhat inflated, as is price on the 470/480/570/580 cards - but they've all come down a LOT from the peak gouge pricing even though they're STILL inflated quite a bit over pre-gouge/shortage pricing.

I remember a pile of EVGA 1060 SC 3G cards on the shelf for $199.99/ea at frys....

I picked up a bunch of the "mini" SC cards for $189.99 recently.

give  btc-gold a big run  and   gpus will sell out again.

Yep, that's the truth for sure. 

I'm cautiously hoping for BTG to be an early Christmas present for all of the miners, but only time will tell.

[tleilaxu_eyes]

I can't imagine this bull run will last much longer. We all know the laws of physics - what goes up...

[Za1n]

give  btc-gold a big run  and   gpus will sell out again.

I think a lot of people are hoping (counting) on that to happen. Mining is still profitable but it getting tighter every day.

GPUs are also still selling at premium prices. NewEgg has a MSI RX580 4GB Gaming on sale for $239, which is still about $50 higher than it was when it was introduced.

Need a few more months of quiet before GPU prices return to normal levels, so if BTC Gold shakes things up, I agree that prices will skyrocket again.

[Turkish88]

dont believe in to BTG, hes price will be less than Zcash..... coins
People sells cards for buying new i think

They're $269 now.

When I started in march, I only bought 4gb gaming X cards. The cheapest I ever got them was $219 each when I bought 5 at a time through jet...

 BTC Gold I don't see having any effect on coin pricing (other than it's own) but I see it having a positive effect on GPU mining PROFITABILITY (not the same thing) as it should suck some hashrate out of other GPU-mineable coins - for a short while at least.

If the price of BTG to be 0.01 bitcoin, it will suck 5% of the GPU mining.

 Newegg has some of the 570 cards down to as low as $229 (though I think that one was a refurb) and quite a few at $249 today.

 STILL not down to pre-shortage levels but getting closer.

Yep, those were the ones.

If I had bought those, instead of squandering my $ I had at the time;  I would have been able to pay off the 6 card rig in one month.....   I still kick myself for that.

Hey just had to drag this up.

 my  rigs  are earning   $$$$


https://www.nicehash.com/miner/1JdC6Xg3ajT3rge3FgPNSYYFpmf53Vbtje


Monthly income

0.22953600 BTC
1789.92 USD


11,300 zols  about 17 x 240 = 4.1 kwatts or 100 kwatts per day  3000 per month at 13 cents =  390 power bill  and since it is winter  the heating bill drops 110

so 280  powercost  to earn  1790 a month  net =  1510

some  videos of asics and gpu rigs

very nice earning quite decently here as well 27k sols

not counting my solar array deal or my bank office deal free power I split coins

https://www.nicehash.com/miner/16yLHLoeyuCLPMXkVpC3gyrRYvwRGwjKJr

3000 sols earns me 0.0010 a day or 0.030 btc a month  no power cost = 240 usd
3650 sols earns me 0.00115 a day of 0.0345 btc a month no power cost = 276 usd

so gpus are doing about 2000-2100 after power

asics do  1500 more  3600 a month while it lasts

[QuintLeo]

At your power cost, my A2 farm would be barely break-even or losing a hair of money.
At my power cost, they're generating almost $3 for each $1 in power usage - and they're by far the LEAST efficient miners I'm running at this point.

 8-)


 I'm making enough that I can afford to point all of my AMD cards almost all of my CPUs (except the Vega 56 for now) at doing non-cryptocoin specific work (though most of it is BOINC work and I do earn enough GRC to pay most or all of the electric those rigs are using).
 
 As part of my "rationalization" plan, though, I'm slowly shifting the CPUs over to mining Monero - FX 8320e for the most part, which don't match the higher-end Ryzens but 300 hash out of a under $120 part is a faster payoff then 450-500 hash out of a $250+ part - and I already have the FX setups.
