Going to choose from few old GPUs from a friend of a friend that needed money and want to sell them, what will be the better decision between 1080ti and Vega 64? Which one is more durable for mining and give less stress or troubles?
I would go with the 1080ti. Post ETH i think the 1080ti will be the more profitable card. Using todays numbers and in a world without ETH the Vega will make $1.25 a day but the 1080ti will make $1.45. Then you add in these are used cards and buying used Vegas is risky, you never know what kinda shape that HBM2 memory is going to be in. The 1080ti however are rock solid and durable cards you can mistreat them and they will keep on ticking.
