Most effective card at mining

[Majsterek]

So long story short . I heave +- 4000$ to spend on GPU . I heave fairly cheap power . So I was thinking of team read . What would u recommend with the best power to price . Any comments will be helpful

[Anghammarad]

right now I would say don't mine at all... it would take some time even getting your investment back... and then the longer a crypto currency is mined for, the less you mine. So again revenue drop, not to mention the fluctuating exchange rates.

Depends on what you want to mine, I'm not especially good at this but undervolted Vega 56 or an RX 580 I think

VEGAs are great little miners!

 

Rx 570s are great as they can almost match a 580 but at much lower cost and power consumption.

vega's and 1080ti's are king of the crowd right now depending on what you are mining.

Mybe somthing wich is easier to find . They are out of stock everywhere . I can only find 1070 1080 . This is not good

im rocking some 1060's im able to find for $199 as of late..   between 17-19Mh

Give me a link plz , It will be a great option form me .

just google Zotac 1060's 3gb

[Majsterek]

ohh i was loking at the 8 gigs version that explains a lot . Is there any difference in mining between 8 gig and 6 gig ?

so soon my 6gb will no longer be able to do either for its at 2.2GB currently.   really that's the HUGE limitations (is the amount of memory the coin requires).  Im personally stilly buying 1060's 3gb b/c lets be honest....  I can recover my $ with current prices before 3gb is no more.

I think i will trust you and go with 1060 . or i will do a mix and see wich ones are most profitable for me then keep them for colection purpuses

1070s and 1060s are the nvidia sweetspot and rx580s are definitely still the amd sweetspots with that vega scarcity.

 

I am obviously not telling you that mining is bullshit and you can be lucky if you even ROI before something else gets hacked or another bubble bursts or whatever

#1 yeah, those are the best performance to profit/price gpu's.

#2 mining is profitable, but very risky.

I am not negating that it can be profitable. There are just much more sensible ways of spending money

google is a wonderful thing ya know. but as far as hash power is concerned there are no cards that really compair. 1080ti can do 70+ mh/s and vegas can do 2000h/s. All depends on what you are trying to mine, but look at virtually anyone thats building a high end rig right now, and its all 1080ti's. Powercosts are higher though so there is some tradeback. But i encourage you to do some research and figure out what is best for YOU and YOUR budget, not having a bunch of people tell you what to do on the internet.

[FlatBrokeRacing]

if you are going to do 1060's i'd recommend the 6gb version, or be very careful what 3gb cards you get (stay away from the gigabyte 1060 3gb cards), some of them struggle their asses off cranked to the moon to touch anywhere close to 20mh/s due to memory type, while most of the 6gb cards can do 24 without a sweat. 1070ti's are doing great 33-34mh/s on ether, a 1070 will do around 31mh/s.

 

470,480,570,580 are pretty much all equal in hashing power and power consumption, they will take bios mods and are on a scale more difficult, more time consuming, and overall more of a pain to setup.

this is my point..  people keep throwing out those hash rates and it's not real.  No one shows screen shots or proof of concept.. they just keep saying it. 

I have a 1080ti...  it does not get 70+ that's worth a damn right now. 

 

so we have some spec / comparison below for the 1080ti

ETH: 31.646
DCR: 316
LBRY: 30

 

and the following for 2x 1060's 3gb

ETH: 54
DCR: 546
LBRY: 53

 

2x cards, lower power, more hash.  

 

google is skewed IMO which is why I asked you for more info.  not attacking..  only trying to understand where your data point is coming from

[FlatBrokeRacing]

It all depends what you mine...

 

I currently have the following cards and have done nothing but mess, mod, overclock, undervolt and beat on the hardware for the last 2 months:

1X 1080ti

1X 1070

1X 1060 6gb

1x 1060 3gb

1x 1050ti

2x rx470

4x rx480

1x rx570

 

I can tell you that certain cards, mine things differently, some better than others. Virtually all of my AMD cards with bios mods, are pulling nearly the same (within 1mh/s) of eachother with samsung, elpida, and hynix memory types. The Nvidia cards, well some are better than others. My 1080ti can do 72mh/s at 80% TDP, -20clock and +400mem this is mining neoscrypt. 

 

not everything is a lie, memory types are like the silicon lottery, some cards will do better than others. It also depends on how you set the cards up, some crypto requires different tweaks in overclocks, underclocks, etc to perform better. You can set them up to conserve power, but drop hash rates, middle of the road, or juice them up for max performance.
