Does anyone uses 90HX or other mining card to run calculation? Or I must use the 3080 video card?

You should be able to use mining cards, but beware of the quality/reliability issues with these. If the cards have seen a lot of use, you might run into corruption or errors earlier than with regular consumer cards.

One more word of warning: I read somewhere that some mining cards kept in damp storage before sale have failed shortly after being bought IIRC due to the moisture on the board / around the chip (?). As far as I recall, the recommendation was to make sure to keep such cards you might buy for a while in a very dry storage (e.g. a box with silica gel?) before starting them up.
