So I am a gamer who is into FPS games like siege valorant and apex . Tried preordering RTX 3080 after I heard its gonna be a great product to mine BTC with .

The pre-order went like a shitshow and unfortunately I couldnt checkout anything . I already have a 2060 Super 8GB which I mostly use for gaming and its pretty good for mining too but it heats up a lot more than when I use it for gaming since its not that much of a pretty setup .
Thats the reason i'm planning to buy 2 3080 to create a dedicated mining setup .

Then I read an article online comparing the use of FE graphics cards vs using used up chinese graphics cards to mine and as a conclusion I thought I could just hold my thought of making a new mining setup with 2 3080 and wait till I can get some used up 3080 chinese card to create a setup .

is this the right decision to make ??

I know it could take a some time before these things are available but I think the end results will be worth it .

Wrong information mate, RTX3080 or even 3090 isn't powerful enough to mine bitcoin, you can only mine Ethereum or other altcoins with these cards, they are best for mining Ethereum right now, I heard they pull up to 94MHS per card, very good performance for the money.

well if you mine at nicehash it auto converts to btc

So 94mh earns about 0.0281 usd per mhs or 90 x 0.0281 = $2.529 before power use.

so at nice hash it simply converts the to btc.

at viabtc you would get eth coin

So the info it not exactly wrong it is misunderstood.
