What cards do you guys think I should get for my upcoming 6-card rig. Im hoping to get about 25-30MH/s per card, with overclock if needed. I see alot of people say we shouldnt invest in 480/580 anymore because they are gonna cut the hashrate. But 1070's are like 600USD retail where I live. Any tips or thoughts on the matter?
Options are:
BIOS modded RX 480/580.
BIOS modded RX 470/570 will get into the lower end of that range.
GTX 1070 will hit 30 sometimes 32 when overclocked, depending on the RAM.
R9 290/290x/390/390x but those eat a lot of power.
GTX 1080 will hit the VERY bottom of that range.
GTX 1080ti will hit mid-30s somewhere.
Note that ALL of these options are not exactly cheap due to the demand miners are putting on mid-high end GPUs the last 2-3 months.
GTX 1060 6GB and RX 460 might get close to the bottom of that range.
From what I've seen so far, the "mining edition" cards aren't going to be a LOT lower than consumer-model cards as folks "charge what the market will bear"....
Thanks for a great reply. I might just go for 1060 6GB's because of the ROI. I dont want to overpay for a better GPU and have to mine for almost 5 months to pay it down. With 1060's I can do it in about 3 I think
