I think I will get an rtx 3090 to game, have as a work workstation, and mine at nights to keep the house warm in winter time.

Those that bought 2080 ti to mine with is just plain dumb due to only 11 mb vram and huge price tag.

However the 3090 probably wont' be as bad b/c it has  24mb vram is HUGE! compared to the 11 VRAM on 2080 ti.  You can potentially mine complex algos like Grin that gives some advantage to those with Big Vram.   However Grin hype had faded and profits not all that great with Grin. But i think it's a good long term hold. 3090 is a good card to make you feel like you got a ferrari and geek out on.



i'll probably get a 3080 as well. These seems to be a good balance for those looking to build dense rigs, less cards to maintain. This has a tad better memory over the 3070.   Just one on launch till we see more mining performance.

3070 rtx sounds pretty awesome also if you plan to go all in on mining and buy tons of video cards. 

Nowadays I just mine for hobby and try to find good colo's that can try to work with gpu miners. Most colo's hate gpus and only want to work with asics.

Overall you can't go too wrong with Nvidia.  All the nvidia cards 10 series 20 series are still mining today whereas those with rx570/rx580 dropped tons of value and big farms had to shut down rigs and sell off their cards. 

It's safe to say if you get an nvidia 3000 series you will be mining them for at least 3 years minimum.  10 series been mining for 4 years+ still.  Asics sort of depressing to see it only mine for 1 year and than you gota figure out how to recycle them.
