Hello, guys  Cool - I am new in mining and I wanna start with Zcash. I wanna use single GPU to start, and I wanna chose between Radeon RX 480 OR Radeon R9 280 or 290 - I need your advice and ideas.  Undecided  Embarrassed

Will it be beneficial with single GPU?
And how much H/s I can get with the cards I mention above? (any close idea?)  Huh

thanks Smiley

480 will be MUCH more power efficient.  dont get a 280/380.  a 280x/290 will be the best $ per sol/s for now.  390 is like a 290, but better (IMO).  but not better on price.  I'd say get a 480 with civ 6, that would be the best deal for the long run.  check out my site if you need info of all kinds on crypto mining !  Up to you, but keep in mind 280x and 290s werent doing much profit 2 months ago because they are power hungry, but right now they are doing profit.
