Let's say you want to start with a fully loaded Asus B250 Mining Expert rig (19 GPUs), would there be a point for solo-mining?

Simple answer for most coins, No.

Is there something like an extended answer as well? Cheesy

Or asked the other way around: When starting to build a mine, at what point (i.e. how many GPUs) does it make sense to solo-mine?

FYI: For starters you would never be able to fully load an Asus B250 with the same brand cards, you would have AMD and Nvidia cards mining two different algorithms. You can't get 19 AMD or NVidia's to work on that board. I just returned two of those boards after only getting 12 or 13 NVidia's to work. Not enough PCI-e lanes to be reliable past 12 cards, better to stick with the Gigabyte B250 with 12 slots. No sense in having NVidia and AMD on the same MB anyways, opens a can of worms.

I've read about that, but I didn't think that mixing two different GPUs one one buard would cause additional problems.

Right now I'm just playing with the idea, I've always only considered starting with a Asus B250 Mining Expert with 13 + 6 GPUs and have it mining two different coins. The idea of having 19 GPUs in one portable frame just seemed better than any other solution with less GPUs.

Considering that, is there nevertheless any benefit going for the Gigabyte B250 instead?
