Been searching for days and no luck so thought it's time to ask.

My options for GPUs are:
1) XFX black
2) Asus Dual RX580
3) Gigabyte 580 Gaming
4) Powercolor Red Devil Radeon
5) MSI Radeon 580 V1
6) Gigabyte Aorus
7) MSI Radeon 580 Armor
Cool MSI Radeon 580 Gaming
9) Powercolor Red Devil Golden

The XFX appears to have the highest clock rate (1425 OC), but other than that I can't find any hash rates for them.
They're all 8GB cards, and price range is within $10-20 for all.

ALso, motherboard to use? Smiley

I'm looking at picking up at least 5, and either straight mining Ether, or dual mining Ether plus something else (suggestions would be great).

If anybody has suggestions for the cards as well as other hardware I'd appreciate it.
Electricity wise I can run 110/120 or 220/240, just a matter of a quick wiring change.

Ideas? Smiley
Thanks

It's impossible to tell you what an individual card will produce in hashrates, only a general sense of what you can expect.  There are way too many factors that play a part in hashrate... mining software, over/underclocks, not least of all the silicon lottery.

For motherboards, I highly suggest the boards that are made specifically for mining.  They will give you the least amount of trouble since this appears to be your first real mining rig.  As for dual mining... Sia and DCR are always favorites combined with Eth.
