Don't talk shit about my god Claymore he's doing a great work if you don't can come up with a better miner just shut it!

Great work. but no NVIDIA support. I let the lamers hash with claymore and watch their profit decline to 0.

The hate is off the charts in this one!

Nvidia guys must be angry they spent double the money for inferior hashing.

I never understood (and still don't), why anyone would pay double the price for an nVidia card for MINING. For games nVidia iss a no brainer (for me), but AMD is just the far superior and only choice when it comes to mining, imho. Unless you don't care about ROI and mine for fun, it doesn't make any sense...

this was discussed (debated/argued may be a better phrase for it) in the Silent Army thread.

the defence of the Nvidia buyer was that with the right tweaks etc for Nvidia like Claymore is doing for AMD they would apparently hash at a higher rate than the AMD, use less power as well as holding more resale value.

The counter arguement was something along the lines of the AMD cards are cheaper, are easier to write code for as Opencl is more acessible to do than cuda and AMD cards do hold their resale value rather well as they are favoured by miners.

It went on for quite a few posts

Honestly the thing about resale value is an argument that doesn't really hold for me. If you get a 1070 at 500$ and sell it a year later for 250$, it's the same thing as getting an RX470 for 240$ and selling it back at 120$. You lost 50% on your initial purchase, but for the price of one 1070, you got 2 470s...and I'm not sure 1x 1070 will hash as fast as 2x 470s (honest question)?

I don't mean to spark a new flame war about which is better, but I think most miners tend to forget that the point is to get the best bang for buck equipment as to minimise your initial entry cost and potential loss. At the end of the day, everyone is free to do whatever the see fit!
