I live in an apartment where electricity is free (bill is included), so I'm curious if mining with a single GPU is worth it. I have Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB and nicehash is saying I can make £52 a month with it. If that means running the GPU at full power 247 it would probably give up the ghost sooner than it pays for itself, not to mention it would be loud as fuck with fans at 100%.
- aoeusnth1 9y agoInstall an overclocking app like MSI Afterburner. Set a power limit of around 80%. The 1060 6GB won't be worth $500 forever - in about a year, I'm guessing Nvidia and AMD will have stepped up their production and the price will have halved or less.
- lykr0n 9y agoWith ample air flow, you should be fine. Running a card at constant temperature (which is what mining would do), is better than ramping it up and down. You'd probably make closer to £70 with your CPU thrown in, but it's all a gamble.
