I take it attempting this on a 780ti is a waste of time?

Look at benchmarks for the Radeon 7950/280 and extrapolate, that's roughly a similar card. You would probably make like $3-4 a day and spend $1-2 of that in electricity. I wouldn't do that while you are running the A/C unless that room is shut off so the heat can't escape into the rest of the house.

Reminder: in a datacenter you double the expected cost of power, because you need to air-condition that heat back out. Factor that into your costs if you are running A/C.


$4 per day is better than I thought, but electricity is really expensive in Australia - my parents pay around $2k a year, and it's expected to go up by 20-30% over the next year or two. I'd rather not exacerbate the cost for them if it's going to use that much power.

Edit: I'd never even considered the risk of malware - no thanks I'm going to pass.
