EXTERNALS;

My question here is about BitCoin. I have a Zotac GTX680 4gb gpu laying around, so, would it be a good idea to drop the 680 back in and mine with both gpus, or just run the 1080ti and attempt to sell the 680?

I would sell the 680. I dont think the 680 can mine efficently enough to be worthwhile - it would probably use more in electricity than it would earn in btc.

Bitcoin mining with GPUs hasn't been profitable for years. Regarding other cryptocurrencies, I doubt the 680 would be profitable. From what I remember reading Nvidia cards were very poor for any sort of mining until Pascal (Geforce 10 series).

Won't be profitable unless you get free power
