I have a chance to buy some extra miners, but what will be the best choise for the future? I have seen the results on the wikki but there is a r9 290x with the 390x bios mod is it worth the chance for further future? I think the 390x maybe have some more profit in the future but i'm not so sure between this two. I can buy for the moment for the same price 3x - 290x 4gb or 2x - 390x 8 gb? The 390 is also the same price for me as the 390x. Any suggestions? it is the intention to build up even further in the future. The wattage will be not such a problem after 8 months. I just will to be sure for the best choise for evolutions in the future for hashrates and share founds.

If they are of the same price. It is better to buy the 390x or 290x. They are about 10% faster in the ZEC mining.

Ok, thanks! And between the 290x and the 390x is there a suggestion? Have they both always done well in maybe other currencies to? Or is there one of them that shoots out? Sorry for this maybe off topic reply!! I just want to make an assessment for possible further future to, after that zcash maybe gets to difficult in a couple of years

There is no fundamental difference between the 390x and 290x. The only difference is the 390X has higher stockk frequency, 1500 MHz instead of 1250.

There is ONE fundimental difference between the 290x and the 390x - faster memory.
Ditto most of the 2xx line vs the 3xx line.

The BIOS usually has a bit of a refresh too, but that's minor.
