What is better for mining?

Krit · Dec 10, 2017

Hey Guys!

So i will ask a simple question what is better for mining 4x RX470 4GB or 2x GTX 1080 or GTX 1080 + GTX 1070 TI ?

Which GPUs will mine faster and more efficiently ? Thanks!

I've got my Asus Strix RX570 4G down to 86W on the core (can't tell what mem/board power is, not accounted for in GPU-Z) 29MH/s, ETH.

Best I've got on my GTX1080 on ZCash is 144W (GPU Power as per HWInfo) around 570h/s

i chose 1070 cards none of the options on your list.. my 8 x 1070 card rig pulls about 1200 watts from the wall and runs at 30 mhs per card.. i recon it makes about 23 dollars per day mining etherium.. i also run a 2 x 1070 desktop rig 24/7.. add another 5 dollars per day for that..

depends on what you mine. amd rx470/570 series is great for ethereum on a cost per card basis but for power efficiency the 1070ti is pretty boss, plus its better at other coins than the rx series. for sheer grunt the 1080ti pretty much rules but it sucks at ethereum, its better at other algos like zcash.

How about this for a simple question
Given today's difficulty in Bitcoin - still trying to figure out such things
Not considering power and hardware cost.

What might a 1080 Ti net in in dollars over a 24 hour day?

What might a 580 8g ram net in in dollars over a 24 hour day?

Right now a 1080ti will get you around $7-8 a day on ZEC. I'm not sure about a 580 as I don't really do ETH on mine.

currently a pair of 1070 cards is pulling in 7 dollars per day mining eth on nanopool.. figures from my own desktop machine.. 30 mhs per card.. 60 mhs in total..
