You can even get 31.2 Mh/s at 70% TDP and +650 Mem using 110 watts with GTX 1070. No AMD card can beat that price to performance on ETH.
We're comparing AMD to Nvidia so the 1080 Ti is included. No AMD card can beat the performance of the 1080 Ti on equihash.
So yes, Nvidia does have the best gpus for now. Seriously pointless in even replying, blabber all you want, the numbers don't lie.
Let's be honest here. I was hitting 29+ MH/s on Ethereum @ around 65 watts with my RX480 (with a modded 580 bios) card which I picked up initially for $230. On Ethereum, it wiped the floor with anything NVidia while running ETHash, however, it wasn't even close for equihash. The 1070's which were $349 each were well over 400 SOL/s and definitely the better bang for the buck on any protocol other than ETHash at that time. The AMD card was even faster than my 1080ti on ETHash $ for $ and watt for watt, switch to any other protocol and the NVidia card ruled the roost.
Today, because the price of the RX cards remains insane, the obvious winner is NVidia and when considering price, power, and space - today the 1080ti wins by a very slight margin, followed closely by the 1070. However, if these cards were selling at MSRP, AMD would be in the lead.
That's the honest truth. Mind you, this is coming from someone with 1 RX480, 8 GTX 1070's, and 2 GTX 1080ti's.... so you can clearly see what an AMD fanboy I am.
