Re: Putting idle money to work... Free Electricity- What GPU Mining Rigs to build?

Hey Mining Community,

Wanted to know your thoughts on Building a rig considering Free electricity.

Instead of keeping money in Banks, I want to put it in Mining so that I'd be getting some money monthly instead of money being in bank and paying me like 7% yearly interest.

A balanced approach of Nvidia and AMD would be best?

Say I have the budget ~$20k I can build a rigs something like this in my country 12 AMD RX 570 Cards + 12 AMD RX 580 Cards + 12 RTX 2060 Cards + 12 RTX 2070.

Your insights are appreciated.

Thanks!

If the power is free then you are going to make money, no questions asked really. As for what cards to get, i wouldnt mix it up too much. Its better to have the same type of cards, makes managing way easier.
Generally speaking AMD seems to be preferred as it tends to perform better on more algos (while Nvidia is better at specific ones). I would look at the price and would ask around for OTC deals for miners who are exiting teh market

Thanks!

By having a mix of GPUs I meant, I will build one rig of one type and not one rig having mix of cards; Example

1 Rig of 570
1 Rig of 580
1 Rig of 2060 like this.

I got that yeah. Well the real question will be what is your plan with the rigs. If you want a stable income, then one type of card is better (for example all 570s). But if you are interested in doing spec mining and going for some nice plays, then the nvidia/amd mix could work better. I personally have one rig with 1080s and one with 570s for spec mining as i never know what new coin comes out and what cards will perform better on it.
