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 .

Read the 1st post pinned here point-3
No GPU is worth didley for mining BTC.
The crapcoin alts - sure, but forget about mining BTC with it.
Along those lines the proper area for posting about altcoin stuff is here. This one where you posted is for BTC only.

you are going to be moved to alt coins or deleted .

this board is for directly mining etc with an asic machine.


you want to go to my thread in alt coins and read up on using a pool like nice hash to mine an alt coin then have nicehash conversation it to btc automatically.
