I have some other rigs running but I am looking to building another rig so help me to choose the best setup for mining, 2x RX5500XT or a single RX5700XT? Which one will be better in return of investment wise, energy consumption and cost

I prefer lower power graphics cards because they have very few overheating problems and are more stable. But that doesn't mean you should buy any RX5500XT.
The RX5500XT 8GB will probably be easier to sell later, because they are cheaper and will suit many gamers.
The perfect middle is the RX5600XT.

Doesn't make sense to me because 2x RX5500XT is equal to a RX5700XT and the power is as follows

RX5500XT = 54 watts power draw mining ETH ( 2x = 108 watts)
RX5700XT = 91 - 100 watts power draw mining ETH

It's fairly the same thing and a RX5700XT still use 4MH to triumph over 2x RX5500XT

I just purchased two 5500 8gb cards for 209 each total 418.

So if you find a pair 5500 8gb cheaper than 1 5700 it makes perfect sense.

my 5500 comes on the 28th.

the truth is short term

5500 8gb shipped quick at a good price are fine.

5600 6gb shipped quick at a good price are fine

5700 8gb shipped quick at a good price are fine..

same for

nvidia 3060ti shipped quick at a good price
nvidia 3070. shipped quick at a good price
nivdia 3080. shipped quick at a good price.

all six above are worth getting if the price is good and you get them by jan 31 or feb 1

@philipma1957 can you please tell me how you get those RX5500XT at 209$ each? That is a good price mate, please tell me where you get them at such price, I can't find such price on amazon and ebay, any help will be appreciated

missed this sorry.

when we find a deal we post them in this thread.
