Before we get into that, you do know you would never recover the investment you put in right?

Yes i know that but i dont pay for power, internet, all i payfor is the card it self, so what power supply should i use?

I wasnt even referring to the power, but the card+PSU itself. Youll never break even at todays rates.
Need full specs to recommend a PSU, and a budget.

What is your current theoretical daily rate of return?

What is your current theoretical daily rate of return?

20 cents

 

[Gam3r01]

So you are looking at a minimum of about 6 years ROI (~$400-500 for card and PSU) at that rate, assuming it stays stable.
Which it probably wont.

20 cents

20 cents a day, with someone else paying the electricity.

5 or 6 years, running that PC at 100%, 24/7, just to maybe break even on parts. Christmas 2025.
Then after that, you 'earn' the vast sum of 1 frozen pizza per month.

Why?
