Re: 980 ti is a hell of a mining card for the price in this current gpu market
I dont condone this fuckery, $370 for a 980ti?
?
I got all my 1070's for right around $300! And the 980ti is a major power hog compared to most cards, you are lucky with VERY cheap power but still.....
One other thing, you DO know these are crippled as of DAG 155 for Ethereum right? they hash less than a 1050ti now. I dont like the idea of buying what is realistically a pig of a card thats already crippled in some aspects.
If you are going to buy old power hungry cards you may as well buy $50 Radeon 7850's to mine Cryptonight with. $370 is just WAYYYYY too much for a 980ti. We are talking a 6 month ROI here, and who knows what will happen in the next 6 months, but certainly the next gen of Nvidia cards will drop.

where the fuck can you find a gtx 1070 for 300 dollars... thats way under msrp. I cant find a 1070 online for less than like 600 bucks.
Essentially, you are buying while all GPU prices are inflated, why? 980ti just are not worth $370
I bought most of my stuff right at the beginning of the mining rush in May/June. Even so ive received multiple GTX 1060 for free since then (walmart BF 1060 desktops, eBay deals).
I just dont think its wise to spend nearly $400 on old hardware that is crippled and power hungry, it will be hard and expensive to fill a rig with them due to the power requirements (each card needs 6+8 pin, a PSU that can handle all that will be in the hundreds of dollars range).
