 I would like to start mining for fun (ETH), and I will go with only 2, maybe 3 cards in the beginning.

If I understood correctly, these 5 cards mentioned in the Subject are best-buy at the moment?

I can choose between these cards for ~350-400$:
RX 470 4GB
RX 470 8GB
RX 570 8GB
RX 580 4GB
RX 580 8GB

What would be your choice, ordered from best to worst? I can also choose between different version of these cards, what should I look for when comparing them, memory clock?


Is there any better card in that price range?

According to this NiceHash calculator (https://www.nicehash.com/profitability-calculator) NVIDIA GTX 1060 is more profitable than those cards mentioned above, but I guess that is for some other altcoin, not for Ethereum?

Thanks in advance.
