Mining vale of GPUs is not so much about the market, but about the increasing difficulty of GPU mining. Sell the card. You will not make money mining now.

Hey guys,

 

So a couple of weeks ago a guy sold me his EVGA GTX 1070 FTW2, which he thought was broken, for $25. I managed to fix it (it was just a driver issue lol) but I don’t exactly know what to do with the card now. I already have a PC with a 1080Ti, so I can’t put this GPU in it. I’ve thought about selling it for around $300-375, or building a mining PC and using it. Right now, selling it seems like the better option since the crypto currency market looks down and using the 1070 would give me about $1 a day, but I feel like in a few months or so the market may go up and mining might be a more viable option. What do you guys think? Sell the GPU, or keep it and mine?
