Mining with Antminer s19 or graphic card?

[elosod]

Hi,
I'm looking at graphic cards an mining rigs like Antminer s19 and cant understand the hash rate. How can a graphic card that are on MH/s compete with a rig that is on TH/s?

Thanks!

The stats you're looking at are probably not for the same algorithm/coin...

Some algorithms (like sha256d or scrypt) require an ASIC. If you'd mine those with a GPU you'd earn nothing (since the difficulty for coins using sha256d or scrypt has been pushed sky-high by people running ASICs). Other algorithms don't have ASIC's, those ones can probably be mined using a GPU.

It's also possible you're looking at a page from 2010 and comparing it with a page written in 2020... Years ago, bitcoin was only mined using a CPU, if you were one of the first GPU miners your hashrate would have been really good compared to the CPU miners back then, but it would be neglectible compared to an ASIC's hashrate right now.

Don't compare apples with oranges...

I guess the guy is asking regarding profitability no matter what you mine

Also in terms of profitability, it's still apples and oranges. 1 MH/s for one coin will not pay the same as 1 MH/s for another coin and also different from 1 TH/s for another coin.
Find online some profitability calculators, hopefully some that are more up-to-date, and enter all the details, including the coin. Then you'll see how you stay with the profitability.

after 4 years of mining with all kind of coins and pools mining is fun.
you may loose money but you may win also much.
I sold my last 7 bitcoins for 225 usd each and abandoned mining.
have left in a wallet some junk balance and today worth thousands of dollars.
so mining is fun.
speculators say it may reach 100k dollars some day and we are not far from seeing this.
try mining now its fun you will learn a lot for computers and maybe for life on how to spent money on important things

Asics are usually made for mining only one algorithm, and due to this they have high performance. On those algorithms where ASICs are mining, video cards are not profitable. But video cards are very versatile and can mine many algorithms that exist now and which will appear in the future.
Not every user can mine on ASIC at home due to noise or high power consumption, and any miner can use video cards.

You mining for 4 years and sold your last bitcoin for 225 usd each? When? Why?
