Paying over double MSRP just to get ~30 MH/s doesn't sound very smart to me. Especially when the next gen cards are about to be released in less than 2 months for Nvidia and 6 months for AMD. Once the new cards come out, you would be lucky to get $200 for a used RX 580.

The HD 7850 can easily get 17-18 MH/s on Ethash (<2GB Dag). Six cards will give you 108+ MH/s. You can actually get 19.5 MH/s at -ethi 4 in Claymore, but the cards will run hot. They also get 500 H/s+ on Cryptonite and 195 H/s Equihash each.

There are also newer cards you can use that can give you a much better ROI than paying $600 for a RX 580.

Well it doesn't sound smart to me either, that's why I'm here asking the questions lol.

Thanks for the info about these other cards, but still they are pretty hard to get over here, it's a small country and most of the people are crazy about RX series and 1060+ series and that's what people are selling the most now.
