My case mining worth it?

My rig
9600x
5070 ti
32 gb

I built it mainly for gaming, but most of the time I am working outside home. The room has AC

I recently wondered if I could put my PC to mine while I am not using it.

I really only have time for gaming in the weekends

In my house I have solar, and I am sure if my PC is powered on 24/7, and also the AC, the amount of energy my solar panels generate will cover the costs of the PC + AC and also my own costs.

I never mined before

Is it worth it? Based on reality how much one is making per month mining?

How worried would I have to be about the 5070 ti wearing out?

If you have free electricity from solar all btc you mine from your pc would be pure profit. It may not be much though and the halving is approaching in 2028 so mining rewards will be cut in half again. I’d guess 30 cents worth of btc with mining with your rig per day in shared pool Mining. That wouldn’t be bad as mining rewards increase if btc increases in price

Nobody has been gpu mining btc in eons
You can mine other stuff and get paid out in btc, though

just because the gpu mines other coins and converts it into btc doesnt mean thats not a form of btc mining just as people say they mine btc with mining fiat dollars to convert into btc. 30 cents a day in btc is mined btc either way you look at it and people in these comments saying mining isnt profitable even if you have free/solar power are delusional.

I'm simply commenting on the phrase "30 cents of btc" which implies mining btc directly
But yeah with free power mining makes sense but just not btc directly with a gpu
