you can buy a 1080 for $300 used and you can get 40MH with the ETH pill.

why would you buy a $400 card, for the same performance, and less resale value? that P104-100 can only mine and doesn't have display outputs, a 1080 can do everything else, making it much more appealing to potential buyers.

hell even the 1080ti is a better buy, less than $500 and does over 50MH with the pill with very low power use.

keep crying about your poor investment, its ok.

..i was bought 2x P104-100 one for 277€ (321$) and i have stable 40+MH/s on ethash i was really happy becouse my electricy is only 300W for both (and this is the reason - electricity)
POWER limit: 70
Core Clock: 100
Memory Clock: 845

cool story. my 1080tis use less power than that.

it's not very impressive. you could have bought a 1080 for less. they go for 300 all day used. sometimes even less

What you are saying makes no sense. How can you compare a new card price with old card price? The P104-100 is $400 brand new, that's a MUCH BETTER deal than buying some used old 1080 with unknown quality.

does a new card perform better than a used card? NOPE.

why buy a new card with a 90 day warranty, when you can buy a used card with 2+ years of transferable warranty left?

i've never bought a used video card that was damaged. its VERY hard to damage a video card from end user use. be it mining, or overclocking, or gaming, or whatever. the cards have built in protections from damage. if a card gets damaged, it was probably defective anyway and if you buy a used card from a manufacturer that carries a transferable warranty (like EVGA), if anything goes wrong you just RMA it no big deal.

again, no reason to buy a p104, unless you get them for like $100. then the risk of a failed card might be worth it.
