How much can you bitcoin can you make on a 1060 max-q?

[Dell Dorado]

Hello, my name is Adam. I have a dell 7577 with a 1060 max-q, i7-7700HQ and 16 gb ram. I'm not really a bitcoin mining guy, but I used to. I was wondering how much money I could make with mining on my laptop? If it is a good amount of money (10-15 dollars a week) I would do it.

(Also, does mining hurt the GPU, because i heard it does.)

-$10 a week maybe?

I would not do it in a laptop considering the heat problems that you might encounter. 

 

It does not hurt the GPU technically... But it does wear your fans. If your GPU is not cooled enough it might hurt the GPU as well (hence why I wouldn't do it on a laptop). 

 

I don't think you can reach $15/week.

I found this website saying how much you earn. Is it accurate?

$15 a week was what I was getting with my 1060 back when Bitcoin was at $20,000.

Nowedays I don't even get $10 a month. 

 

I stopped mining with my rig. It was only wearing out my fans and the rest of my PC. It's not worth it.

It's not accurate no, it dates from January and they haven't calculated the electrical cost.

 

To know if it can be profitable, you'll have to find the current profitability of the 1060 max-q, the kw/h it's using and how much you pay per kw/h. To give you an idea you can check here (even though they don't have the max-q card, it's close enough to the desktop 1060) ;

You wouldn't actually mine bitcoin with your 1060. GPUs are horribly inefficient at mining it. You would mine another currency or you would use a program which would mine another currency and pay you in bitcoin. You can make around $0.92 profit per day mining Ethereum or $0.47 per day mining Monero.

 

However markets fluctuate greatly and so will your day to day profits, whether that means some days you'll make much more or some days you'll lose much more, it changes a lot.

Never ever ever mine with a laptop, you will kill it (unless you open it up and put it directly in front of a fan probably).
