[QUOTE="quad, post: 16580787, member: 17952"] That's because crypto prices are up a lot. My GPU rigs are quite profitable right now at between $5,000-$6,000 per month depending on the fluctuation in Ethereum prices. I am not converting to USD though and just hodling it because "cash is trash". Now this is a gamble of course. I have seen some wild estimates for Ethereum this bull run. If it goes to 20k or more like some have predicted my profits would be wild, we're talking $15-20k per week - or more if it goes even higher! As it is right now your ROI for an expensive RTX 3090 is a few months if you have it mining Ethereum on the side at current ETH values. That is if you can get ahold of one because they are sold out everywhere. Even older 1070 ti and RX580 cards are selling for decent prices. Nvidia just announced that they are going to handicap Ethereum mining on the 3060 TI cards so gamers can get some stock. Who are they kidding some gamers are miners after hours. I am also not impressed with the new dedicated mining cards they announced. The 3090 outperforms the highest tier mining card @ less power usage. And the mining card can't even drive a display.
