I don't hate cryptocurrency miners if it is a single dude and a single GPU, even 2 GPUs, I hate miners who's whole income is mining on a dozen or more cards at a time. It is just that the discussion of buying GPUs, especially brand new ones like the 6700 XT, for the purpose of mining, is likely to gain a lot of hate.

Depends on a few things:

 

1:

Will you ever use this system for gaming, or ONLY mining. If even just a few hours of gaming a week, then get the 6700xt. 

 

2:

What are the prices for each?

 

3:

what are the other specifications for the system?

1. Mainly this will be used for Mining with the occasional memory lane  gaming on the Vega 64 as i used it as a daily driver for many years with a 5820k then a 5960x

 

2. The Vega 64 is about 200 cheaper with the RX 6700xt being about 1kish and 5700xt being 2-300 more than the 6700xt

 

4. and depends the second mining rig will be a 4th gen i5 it was the only cpu i had that worked for the MB and cant replace the CPU as the board had bent pins and not going to mess with it and 8gb of drr3 ram dual channel or depending on the compatibility might be an my Pentium Gold T rig on an X370 MB with 8gb dual channel

 

will be buying around May 27th and BTW using excess loans to get this stuff might as well strech out the loan and have high hopes of paying it all back after my education is done

Right, my main income is SSDI on 1327 a month the mining is the best way to stretch my loans out and then pay all the loans back after my education is done, grad school will end Fall 2023 then a year of getting my BSW licensure 

 

Edit: but also realize i think Linus mentioned this in one of his videos that Miners can actually benefit certain gamers as when they are ready to see their old mining cards they usually do so at dirt cheap price as they already made their money back and trying to quickly sell to get the next thing, i mean thats what i would do at least when my time comes is to sell at or under MRSP for the cards if this GPU shortage keeps on going im just as upset at this due to i should only be paying around MSRP for the card not 1k for the 6700xt i dont have money for the rigs hint the excess student loans at payments are deferred until 2024
