What cards do you guys think I should get for my upcoming 6-card rig. Im hoping to get about 25-30MH/s per card, with overclock if needed. I see alot of people say we shouldnt invest in 480/580 anymore because they are gonna cut the hashrate. But 1070's are like 600USD retail where I live. Any tips or thoughts on the matter?

Well it comes down to what you have access to in your area and what your long term goal is..
With the new claymore miner you can get decent hash on eth with the 1060s.

1070's by me are ~$450
1080ti's are ~$669
Amd 470/480 & 570/580 are all sold out

I wen't with 1080ti's due to density as I can't walk into my local store and get more than 2 or 3 without them giving me a hard time and I didn't want to order online.

If your after eth because you think that is the future you can always mine an altcoin, sell it and buy eth. If you want eth you think that is the most profitable coin out there, then you have some research to do as it's not always.

Best of luck.


... or get the mining card editions by AMD and NVIDIA coming out soon.
