I start mining this week for my first time. Not a big glamorous setup or anything. I have a gaming PC arriving this Tuesday that will have. GTX 1050 pre installed. I know it's not the best but it's a start.
TBH It's not even a start! You wouldn't even make 5 cents after mining for 24 hours straight.
My question is can I buy an additional GPU and run both in the PC? I was thinking of buying a 1060 or 1070.
Depends on the number of PCIe/PCI Express slots your mobo has.
1080 would be great but I just don't have the cash yet.
If you are planning to save up for that through mining. It will never happen.
This is my first real attempt at mining so I'm willing to learn.
Yeah, the setup is only good enough for trying out different software and getting the feel of what's its like to mine.
Any and all advice and constructive criticism is welcome.
Here is my "honest advice". Don't bother with mining unless you can buy up at least 8 or 6 high-end GPUs and have a electricity cost less than 0.10 KW/h as it will be hard for you to break even in the coming months if this downtrend continues. Also, there is no guarantee that you will break even with those high-end GPUs. So do your research and see if mining is actually for you or not.
