For example, Ethermine.org has configurable payout limits starting at 0.1 ETH, which would take about a month to reach with a single GPU — a single RTX 3080 will mine about 0.006 ETH per day .

Will mining damage my laptop?

Can you still mine Ethereum with 4GB?

4GB VRAM graphics cards are not good for Ethereum mining because they do not have sufficient memory to run the GPU-intensive calculations of Ethereum mining. The current DAG size is 3.49GB for Ethereum and 3.58 GB for Ethereum Classic. This means that GPUs with 3 GB or less VRAM cannot mine it anymore.
