I'm thinking about selling my 280x cards and buy new ones for better power consumption.
Which is better? AMD RX 480 or Nvidia GTX 1070?

I am paying too much for power and mining is just an hobby for me. I'll sell my 4x r9 280x cards and buy two RX480 or GTX 1070 and maybe add more cards later.

I'm running one r9 290x and two Fury's right know (also a hobbyist). They do use electricity and I am running them with stock bios and settings! What do you calculate your wattage savings to be by changing cards?

I user whattomine.com to calculate cards.

3x r9 280x GPUs making 870 H/s and using 690 Watts.
3x rx480 GPUs making 870 H/s and using 360 Watts.
2x Nvidia GTX 1070 making 840 H/s and using 240 Watts.

GTX 1070 seems more power efficient. But they are two times expensive. I think I'd better buy rx480 GPUs. And I can sell my r9 280x GPUs one by one and buy the rx480 GPUs one by one, so I'll not have to spend from my pocket.

Are the rx480s and r9 280x runs together in a rig?
currently I have one r9 270 and 3 r9 280x running in one rig.
