>was running a dual R9 390X rig for 4K gaming, since switched to a 144hz 1080p monitor so I wanted to change to a single card rather than two

Sorry chum, could have turned a reasonable profit with 0 electricity costs but it's still a good time to get started on other coins and/or catch the last of the ether wave.

Didn't read after that. Retard.

What's retarded about the 390X? Aside from the crossfire meme of course

>>60953049
This text just shows that you are total noob in mining. You made a right choice. Otherwise you just ruin your 390.

I don't think anyone goes into mining thinking about preserving the life of their card, anon. Especially if they'll pay for themselves within a month of mining.

Can I mine with a 1050 Ti?

>>60953546
Actually everyone goes into mining mow, and they don't even knowing about their gpu vendor.

I'm a huge poorfag and drunkard from east yrop, who mines on 470. So I'm fine.

I'm just annoyed that I can't find any fucking GPUs anywhere. It's getting to the point where a fucking 1070 is a better option price-wise than an RX 580.
