Graphics Card for Mining

[Pain Packer]

I saw on some youtube video that he is using a 4 nvidia GTX 1080p graphics card to mine bitcoin. I'm confused how these graphics card will be able to mine bitcoins.

It's bitcoin gold. BTG

or they are using nicehash

You may try to mine Bitcoin with you GPU, but even if a pool will accept your shares, you'll get only a few cents per month, while paying a lot for electricity.
Nowadays nobody mines Bitcoin with GPU.

One idea would be that the recording is old. Years ago Bitcoin was indeed mined with GPU (even CPU in the beginnings).

Another idea is that he was actually mining either Bitcoin Gold, either other altcoins. There are mining pools that automatically convert your earnings from altcoins to Bitcoin, which may make somebody think he's mining Bitcoin, especially if the setup is Nicehash-like, meaning mostly automatic.

Yes, it could be an old recording, but the guy in that recording was from the future. He went to the future, bought GTX 1080 cards, then went back to the past and started mining Bitcoin with them. Totally legit.

Mine altcoins.

Sell

Buy Bitcoin

profitable offer is BTG for you.

Nvidia is efficient for BTG.

AMD is profitable in ETHhash

Really? I thought NVIDIA Family is best to mining ZCASH and ZEN. Maybe you can provide the youtube link, so we can identify what coin that they mining.

NVIDIA is good for Bitcore BTX

LMAO got me with that! I totally omitted the card name.
Indeed, the old recording idea was not that good.

but NVIDIA it's good for ZEC, ZEN and XMR too.

Nvidia is not good for XMR. It's only been good when first Maxwell cards appeared, namely 750 Ti — that's like the only nvidia card that was (and actually still is) good for Cryptonight considering its price and power consumption. With every other nvidia card you were usually better off mining something else (and then buying XMR if you needed them).
