Mining at this point isn't very profitable anymore - should ease the strain on GPU stock for gamers

 

Not sure about zcash or XMR numbers, but they're down as well.

    Next level to hit is around 7800 on BTC, 562 on ETH, 143 on LTC. At 562 ETH is actually not worth mining, I don't think

    Rip my 'free' additional income. It first dropped from $23~/week to $18~/week and now to a measly $13/week~ -, _ ,-

    Assuming it'll work on Windows 10...

     

    I kept getting errors when I tried to do it after upgrading.

    @Crunchy Dragon I got errors as well but eventually one driver version (adrenalin 18.1.1) worked just fine for me.

    I run a GTX 780, no chance that driver's gonna work xD

    Try some versions though. If you really want, it's not like it'll be profitable atm

    How about if you have electricity rates like where I live? :o

    Looks like it can reach 53¢/kWh! :o With rates like that, how profitable would mining on a mid to high end Pascal or Vega GPU be?

     

    Or another thing I thought of :) ... What GPU would I theoretically need to get now, such that it would cost me the same $ to run it, as it costs someone in Louisiana to run a GTX 1060 6GB or 1070 who had bought theirs on Black Friday 2017? ;):P

    @PianoPlayer88Key You should go to whattomine.com, input the card or cards you're looking to mine on, and see if you're profitable on something. With crypto prices where they are atm, and your high electricity rates, I don't expect so.

    according to that, power costs more the profits lol

    @Eduard the weeb No, the $16 is your profit after paying for power, it should be something like $38 in gross revenue.

     

    Of course, a lot of miners don't sell so this calculator is only true for what you sell today.

    Oh miss read that, thanks for clarification.

    Ahh @Energycore.  I see the 1060 which I have for my desktop (although it's not currently installed, using the Intel HD 4600 iGPU right now).  I don't see the 6GB GTX 970M listed though.  (The 970M is in my laptop; btw my 1060 is the 3GB version.)

     

    And ... it looks like even the most profitable one is negative for me. :P at least on the 1060.

    I don't think anything is worth mining on a 970M xD

     

    I do agree that the site is missing some cards, only has the most important ones
