It will wear on the gpu. I did some basic research on it a little bit ago and it seemed legit.

I am far from an expert in this so please correct me if I’m wrong.

How much will it wear since the site ”claims” it replicates running bfv on ultra and that seems very false so would using an old gpu be the best to try salad?

Why do you even want to mine?

You lose money by doing it.

@Enderman means that the cost to run the hardware (Electricity and components themselves) is more than you would make by mining.

You lose money by mining on a GPU. If you pay $5 for electricity to mine a $3 gift card, you've lost money. If you wanted to be correct about it, you'd have to factor in the cost of the GPU and the wear, which would make it even worse. You're better of buying the $3 gift card outright.

Electricity costs are higher than what you get, and also that doesn't include the degradation on your GPU which will lower its resale value and lifespan, and if you run it long enough eventually its death.

Thanks I will not mine in the near future since it seems you always go minus
