Prefer new
Prefer liquid cooled
But whatever

I have a single 1070 and it does everything I ask of it.

If you're just upgrading, posting the rest of your specs will help the guys here give you better advice.
Depending on those, it might even be more beneficial to upgrade your CPU than getting a second video card.

As far as liquid cooling goes, I hear that the pre-manufactured closed systems are the most reliable for CPUs, but I have no idea about GPU liquid cooling. I would imagine the same.

am guessing that you are wanting to try "mining for digital funds" , if so there are some cheaper GPU cards that will work out better for you

The cryptocurrency miners are what is driving and keeping the video card prices so high, along with system RAM.

I'll be happy when all that comes crashing down.

It is getting ridiculous.  Apparently, anyone can create a cryptocurrency. Kodak created one.  Any company/country who needs money looks to be creating them.

Blockchain is here to stay

I agree there are way too many coins available to purchase, that’s why I stick with the 5-6 main ones.

Don’t invest what you can’t afford to lose

As I said in the other thread, currency is supported by power (military or otherwise). Cryptocurrency has no such support and is doomed to fail as soon as governments decide to shut them down. It is a matter of time...

I will still buy your old video cards at a 80% mark down when you're through with them.   :devil

Side note:  This cryptocraze is serving to create a lot of nefarious software and WEB sites as well.  There are phone apps, disguised as simple games, which are really using the phone as a mining device.  Same with WEB sites.  There are WEB sites now using your computer as a mining device.  They are popping up all over the place.

The astute computer user will be able to tell a bad WEB site, but the bad phone app is more difficult to detect.

Original poster will not break even unless his power is free.

Forget the video cards and invest in this.

I have one of those
And will probably just buy more
One of them costs what two 1080ti’s run these days

 If a gtx1080 does "30 mh/s" while the top end antminer s9 does "13.5 th/s", is there any need for the 1080?

1070s on an 8 Card rig
Or six 1080tis on a rig

That’s the most common set ups

Back in the long long ago when ti’s were 800, it was doable

Plain 1080s and 1070ti’s aren’t as profitable

You can play this game on a 660.  What's your point?

Easy to buy a gtx960 for under 100 bucks off ebay and wait for "miners" to realize that mining isn't profitable with a gpu rig.

Then we will see "used" GTX 1060s for cheap.

Hopefully, the video card makers have used this spike in profits to get to the next level of performance and be ready to deliver cards that will make the current series obsolete.
