Which of the below card is best for long term GPU mining and what coins you suggest to mine with each of these cards.

MSI 11 GB   NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti
ROI per nicehash : 9 months

MSI 8 GB GTX 1080
ROI per nicehash : 6 months


Can only say few words about the two above: don't go for 1080, choose either 1070 or 1080ti. Besides, check exactly which model of these cards you're buying, same brand 1070's, for example, may have 4-5 models all varying in clock speeds => mining efficiency.


Are those GTX 1080 really that bad? Because price-wise I can buy 1070 for $520, 1080 for $575 and 1080Ti for $825.


Thanks for your response.

What price you can buy Gigabyte 4 GB RX 470 and MSI 8 GB   RX 480 for?


Well 470/480 are mostly out of stock here, same for 570/580. But in local shops there are price starting $300 for 570 and $350 for 580.

Thanks for your response,
i am getting used rx 470 4 gb for $150 each with 6 in stock
and same price for rx 480 but they are only 2 in stock

What do you suggest me to do, should i buy 470 x 8 cards and make a rig or rx 480 x 2 along with rx 470 x 6?

Well if I was you, I would just take as many those cards as you can for that price. There should be no problem mixing 470/480 in one rig. I am running 7x 480 in one rig, and 4x 570 + 2x 580 in second. Had no problems installing those rigs, using blockchain drivers (those non-official leaked, from robinhood).

Ok, i saw  on a website that 480 8 GB takes 150 watts and on another website it says RX 470 4 GB requires 500 watt power supply. Just want to confirm how much power Gigabyte RX 470 4GB takes?

Its depending on your PSU effeciency, GPU clock, model, quality, voltage, bios, algo and luck Cheesy

My 1st rig 7x MSI 480 gaming 4g takes 1070W when dualminig 207mhs eth + 5850 decred.
2nd 4x Sapphire PULSE 570 4g + 2x Sapphire PULSE 580 4g takes  930W when dualing 170 mhs eth + 4580 decred.

So if you are going to dualmine, you can count with ~130-150W card
