next card :)

[ImNotThere]

recently sold my 1070 into the mining bubble for nearly twice what i paid(£350) so now that im out of a system for a little while im gonna go for a mini itx system with the node 202, are reference 980ti's any good? i have found a used reference card for £220 would this be a good plan for the case?

The 1080 is terrible for ethereum mining, maybe you could get one of those.

They can run hot, but theyre still good. Decent OC, but if you can find an aftermarket cooler I'd shoot for that.

980ti is more of a side grade anyways

You should only sell it, if you can wait out the mining craze.

 

1070 feel like a downgrade.

My friend has a 1080, it makes about the same or less profit. (I have the Rx480)

 

Here's the 1080ti

Also, ethereum, zcash, and pascalcoin prices are crashing, GPUs might be really cheap soon...

The 1080ti would be a good option, but they do make the Zotac mini 1080 (US link, sorry )

i think a 1080ti is slightly outside of my price range

Ethereum's price halved in the last month...

I bought my RX480 last May, then the price for an rx480 shot up to $400. Sadly my parents wouldn't let me sell it, so i started mining 

However, because of this price drop, watch ebay. The 4GB models of RX480 are about to be nerfed, and ethereum's price drop might make miners antsy to sell...
