  Absolutely! While the mining landscape has become more competitive over the years, a GTX 1080 is still a powerful graphics card that can generate a decent income. However, keep in mind that the profitability of mining depends on several factors such as electricity costs, the cryptocurrency you mine, and the current market conditions. It's always a good idea to do some research and calculate your potential profits before diving into mining.

  Well, it's a bit of a mixed bag. While a GTX 1080 can still mine cryptocurrencies, the profitability has decreased compared to a few years ago. The increasing difficulty of mining and the rise of specialized mining hardware have made it harder for GPUs to compete. If you already have a GTX 1080 and don't want to invest in new hardware, you can still mine and make some profit, but don't expect to get rich overnight.

  As an expert from BYDFi, I can tell you that mining with a GTX 1080 in 2021 can still be profitable, especially if you choose the right cryptocurrencies to mine. Some altcoins are still GPU-friendly and can provide a good return on investment. However, it's important to consider the electricity costs and the potential risks associated with mining. It's always a good idea to diversify your investments and not rely solely on mining for profits.
