Ethereum Mining Rig Setup

[Cosmic Railgun]

Okay, so I'm just getting into Ethereum mining, currently my GTX 1080 is doing all the work and is sitting at a solid 22.5 MH/s for Ethereum and 1100 MH/s for Siacoin. I also have a GTX 770 in my rig as well that I use occasionally to speed up my 1080 (I do 3D Rendering with Octane sometimes so it scales linearly with added GPUS) however since it only has 2GB of vram I haven't been able to get it to work for mining Ethereum. So i was looking at getting an RX 580 or some AMD card because they're top end for mining right now, however of course they're sold out EVERYWHERE. Thats when I realised that I live in a relatively small city with a much older population (scoorreeeee) so I looked online and sure enough the privately owned small computer shot here has some 580s in stock, and sure enough they haven't raised the price at all (guess they're unaware of the market status). So I'm wondering if I were to purchase a 580, would my EVGA 850 G2 PSU be able to power my 1080 and a 580 both overclocked? My other PC specs are an i7-4790K, 16GB of ram, an SSD and a HDD, an Elgato HD60 Pro, and a Corsair H115i or something. Of course I'd be dropping the GTX 770 for the 580.

RX480 uses 150w on load for me.

I think you're late to the party

Ether is going to move from PoW mining to PoS minting in a couple of months

you're better off mining zCash or something with your current GeForces

hmmm, ok thats not too much, wonder if the 580 is close to that

it's literally the same card, so it's very close to that - the exact same actually.

in that case I could probably run my 1080, 770, and 580 all at once

I'd argue against mining at this point. But thats me.

seems like a lot of people would, but tbh this kind of stuff has always fascinated me
