Would be all but worthless for BTC from my understanding, need an ASIC to even have a chance. Might be worth it for Ethereum though.

- philtar 9y agoCurious what the hash rate on this is.
- rybosome 9y agoRumors of a near-future switch to proof of stake would discourage me from spending large amounts of money on Ethereum mining.
- jrs95 9y agoThere are so many other coins that use the same GPU friendly algorithm as ETH that your hardware wouldn’t become useless even if that did happen.
- pknerd 9y agoCare to guide more?
- jrs95 9y agoI don’t know specifics on what these coins are honestly but there are a few clients like Nicehash which basically group a lot of different mining tasks by algorithm for you. It has an idea as to which will be most profitable for your hardware at any given time, and mines that currency for you.
- FireBeyond 9y agoThe same NiceHash that had every single one of their 4700 BTC stolen yesterday...?
- jrs95 9y agoApparently. Hadn’t heard about that. R.I.P.
- jrs95 9y agoProbably not...performance per dollar tends to favor a much cheaper card. Last time I checked the 1070 was still the best option.
