Hi,   my friend is thinking of buying 3 new, non-lhr rtx 3080's

Occording to him, they should pay for itself by around 10 months ...

I personally feel like its probably not worth the hasstle, time, investment, headache, etc...    if we are just talking about just 2 cards making such a small profit after the initial 2 months ...
If it where 10 cards,    i would have probably told him, yea, go for it.

Thoughts,    would you do it , if you had the cards available for purchase ?

Thx in advance for the input

I can't tell how good or bad are those cards, but:
1. You should ask in Altcoin Mining subforum, since one cannot mine bitcoin with GPU, hence it's the altcoin miners who can actually help.
2. You should tell clearly what's your friend's electricity cost (cents / kWh), because it's important for a (any such) decision.
