Hey everybody
is it a wise idea to use my gaming pc for mining?
i am thinking of buying a mining rig but i want to wait till August and you all know the reason
and in the meantime i am thinking of using my PC for mining for a few months
i have a GeForce 1050 TI using nicehash for mining
any ideas for coins/pools or solo mining are welcome
If you had thought about it back in 2009 to 2016, you would have became a millionaire by now. However, for now, your configuration is not suitable for mining anymore. So I would suggest you not to burn your system by mining. Rather get a mining rig for that purpose.
I have a 1660ti and it just produces 27 mh/s. I have tried mining ETH using it but didn't have much luck with it. If you have got a i9 processor, you mught want to try XMR or other GPU resistant coins but again don't try solo mining ever.
Your 1660ti should give you 30-32MH not 27MH, that's the type of hashrate you should get from a normal 1660 non ti and non Super, it's because you aren't using the right configuration or OC combinations. Use Trex miner and lock the core clock to 1300 using Hive OS and meme clock 1600-1900.
