Mining with RX 580 or 1060?

Go to solution Solved by mariushm,

Depends on coin

 

Ethereum and coins using same algorithm are mined better on RX 570 or RX 580 but gtx 1060+ isn't far off (note you need 4GB memory to mine ETH, 3 GB cards may still work for a few months)

 

zCash and other coins using the Equihash algorithm do better on nVidia cards

Some Cryptonight based coins (monero, dash) may also do slightly better on nVidia

 

see http://whattomine.com  click on the card model and enter quantity then hit calculate and then pick a coin to mine which you can easily trade (not electroneum which can only be exchanged in one place for example)

Electroneum

 

Or are you asking which card should you choose to mine with?(title and post are both different questions) In which case, it depends what you want to mine.
