Folks, if you would invest 20K USD in GPUs, what would you buy?

I prefer NVIDIA cards.

Some people say 1060 3gb is best ROI, some say 1070 and someone 1080ti ...
If we consider of long time investment and better quallity of work, what would you buy?

NVidia GTX 1070 are the best choice, with the best ratio ROI.
If you want extra pleasure with hardware, you can buy also some GTX 1080 : the ROI is not so good than GTX 1070, but you have the possibility to play with a SLI, after mining is over, even in 2 or 3 years.

1070 at $430 for a good one vs 8GB AMD 580 for $300 ?

I would go the 580 route, save 100 per card so you get a free one every three you order compared to the 1070, plus 580s can be tuned to use lower power and are great for dual mining DCR

i.e eth 29 or ETC 29mhs and DCR like 900 for 150 watts will beat out a 1070 for ROI

All GTX 1070 are good and the mid price is not $430 but $350.
And the forumeur wrote "I prefer nVidia cards"... and he's right : AMD sucks and need a lot of electricity power/cooling.

350 for a 1070 are u off your rocker ? not for a NEW one maybe USED ! and Not all are good , the cheap single slot ITX ones run hotter and slower
thank the EVGA, gigabyte or even ASUS dual or tripple fan models.

Yes I concur alot of bad info here , lol 20k and they want you to buy 1080TIs ?

would you rather have six rigs or four ? , 1080TI were a good buy when they were $600 for $750 I'll pass an load up on cheaper models that will make you MORE money

Actually not hard to get gtx 1070 at the price $350 - $390 on amazon.com... not always, but if you closely monitor all the brands and models, there are always offers almost every day...
what i am wondering is that where would people get 8GB AMD 580 for $300 nowadays?

And also, i don;t think 1070 has better ROI than gtx 1060 3GB - you can get 1060 at $200 and mine zcash a 300 sol with 70w power consumption

I only buy my gpu from new egg, amazon i always pay taxes so its not worth it for me
the 580 8gb are quite common , actually they are going lower
