Hello as I said I'm a bit newbie in terms of mining. I want to try out GPU mining if its possible and got some few questions and hope that someone can help.

1. First is, is still profitable to mine using just 1 card? My plan is to try one gtx 1080ti or 1070ti (just ignore the electricity consumption factor).

2. Will it be possible to plug it on my workstation and be able to do my daily tasks on my PC and be able to mine. (What I mean is just using my onboard graphics and letting the GPU to mine.)

Nope it is not profitable now to mine using 1 GPU due to electricity costs on the whole PC.
Except you have free electricity wall ofcourse

WTF. Are you really reading the OP or just here to shitpost your way around? I have indicated that electricity is not a factor to consider.

Does it mean electricity is free for you? Totally free? You pay nothing for it?
If yes than it is not the factor of considering. Trully. The only factor is ROI. How many monthes it consumes to repay the cost of system block and GPU in it. I think now it will be about 2,5 - 3 years apparently. Closer to 3 years.

Otherwise if electricity is not free for you but you think it is cheap and not is the matter of consider - you are wrong. It is matter now.

Right. So still not worth it. And I am curious, if you are using your employers electricity then the better not to continue your plan. Long ROI and possible consequences when employer knows what you did. In the end it is a no/no situation even if you own that office.

LOL. You're thinking it the wrong way. I do have a workstation but it doesn't mean I'm employed to a company stealing their resources just to mine coins.

I'm a freelancer so I do own a decent workstation. Let's just be on topic.

@dimpsk. I don't consider the electricity consumption involve since I'm using it at the same time for my freelance works. I have clearly stated that just don't factor in the power consumption thingy.

You are still wrong there because power consuption on GPU rises dramatically when you started mining. Also probable you'll want to engage it the whole 24 hours instead of usully working schedule to get some distinguishable amount.

So electricity costs is matter.
But if you already had computer block and GPU in it your risks here are not very significant. You can mine and probably earn one free pizza in a month (Not more for sure). Or not. That depends on electricity costs and coins prices.
