Interesting specs. Might be worth getting after card prices crash for the heatsink/fans alone. May as well use that extra engineering for a gaming card, since I tend to manually set my fan speeds.

The 470 mining *does* have video out, but it's only a single DVI-D.

I've worked with companies where people would buy 10k worth of various products from the store, and then return all of it a few days later for no real reason.
the wrote:I've been requested to build out a system and wow, the pricing of late is just well stupid if you just want a video card for gaming. GTX 1070s are now more expensive than GTX 1080s. GTX 1060s are hard to come by and above MSRP. AMD Polaris cards are no where to be found except the ultra, ultra low end ones which you don't want to use for gaming. Even then, I think they're starting to be picked up for mining as I saw a few slightly above MSRP.
Just for fun, I looked around for pricing on Quadro cards and some of the new Pascal models looked to have been snatched up in the mining craze. Not surprising as the street price for a few of the desktop cards have exceeded the pricing on their professional counter parts.
I'm starting to wonder if this craze will go to the extreme to start purchasing prebuilt systems with the optimal mining card (RX 580?) and using the other parts to supplement the rest of a mining gear.

Still seems like a silly idea to me though. Comparing the same GPU with two different types of memory is one thing, but I would think the 1080 would be faster anyway.

If it was an OEM tower, yeah (regardless of the PSU). There have been a number of TR forum comments about UEFI GPUs not working in OEM machines.
The more likely answer is the one that you stated. The Ethereum bubble burst and the buyer didn't want to be on the hook for a super expensive card they couldn't make ROI on .

I'm sorry you ran into issues with selling your card. I guess that was a too good to be true type of thing.

All good. Worked out pretty well actually. Amazon agreed with my 20% restocking fee, so I got paid for my troubles and have my working card back. It is now mining, so we'll see how that goes.

I'm glad that worked out for you. So I see that the card works fine then.

Yep. He either installed it wrong or decided he couldn't make good money back.

I have 3 of them hashing now making about $25 a day after power costs, one in my gaming PC when I am not gaming, and 2 in my home server. I drop the power limit from +120 (gaming) to +105 (mining) and it drops the temps from low 70s to low 60s, and only brings down the hashrate by a very small portion.
22-29mh (modded) 480/580s
35-39mh 1070
75-80mh 1080ti
The 1080 (non ti is worse for hashing vs the 1070)

What are you mining? Ethereum hash rates for a 1070 run around 30-32 and even the 1080TI are listed at only around 35MH/s, so I don't know what you are mining at 75-80MH/s on your 1080TIs???

He says he has 3 of them in a mining PC, and another 3 that may or may not be mining at any given time. His numbers should range from about 35*3 to 35*5, right? This number doesn't include the other cards mentioned, but he didn't describe what PC those are in.

The 75-80MH is for each 1080ti mining Lyra2REv2, I have 5x of them currently (one is in my gaming rig, one in my home server, and 3x in a mining rig that consist of a dog crate with a box fan ziptied). About $800 a month at the current rate. I hash Lyra2REv2, Equihash, X11Ghost, Lbry, and Pascal, whatever is the most $ at that time, $5-8/day per card.
