Title: Rebuilding my rig Post by: kristof89 on March 29, 2016, 02:01:42 AM Hello.
After selling my gpu's some time ago Im thinking to come back to minning Before ive been minning with enermax 1500w and 4x r9 290 (reference, big temperatures, 1400-1500w on the wall) so i have this PSU left http://www.enermax.com/home.php?fn=eng/product_a1_1_1&lv0=1&lv1=52&no=191 Im thinking to buy new gpu's, What do you think which gpu's i should be looking for to fit this PSU ? Best would be new ones with warranty, with lowest watt/khash Also should I aim for 4gb ? 8gb ? just in case i would like to keep the rig this time, maybe for some future minning. Need your opinnions Thank you in advance Regards Title: Re: Rebuilding my rig Post by: Ayers on March 29, 2016, 06:42:36 AM nano fury x or nvidia 970, from nvidia only 970 is very good, and for amd you have more choice, even the old 280 or 7970 are very good for mining etheruem

Do you notice the hash rate drop of the R9 390 or the R9 Fury series due to DAG increase?

Do you notice the hash rate drop of the R9 390 or the R9 Fury series due to DAG increase? That is not correct. My 7970s and 280Xs are doing the same hash now as they did in January. 380X are not as good as the 280X. If given a choice, go for the 280X.

Latest Genoil's miner (1.0.6) has an option to test it yourself.

used r9 280x is around 200$ in my country also what producent should I aim for ?

the cheapest used r9 280x without warranty cost min 190$ I can buy new r9 380x with 3 year warranty for 290$ Im not thinking about eth ROI here, but i would like to mine it aswell In case mining wont give me profit this year i would like to keep that rig and just wait for better days, What do you think best option will be? buy used without producent warranty 280x 190$ or new 3year warranty 380x 290$ for a rig which I will keep and wont sell ?

The 280x is faster than the 380x at the moment. But when the DAG file becomes bigger, the 280x will be slower.

If price wasn't an issue what would be the best for eth dcr and spreadcoin? thanks guys Title: Re: Rebuilding my rig Post by: Ayers on April 10, 2016, 06:19:18 AM Great info!! If price wasn't an issue what would be the best for eth dcr and spreadcoin? thanks guys don't buy old cards, they will depreciate in performance very easy especially with the dag file getting bigger, buy new card, if you like amd, buy the fury series, or wait for the next nvidia pascal, 1080 and 1070, they are coming this july Title: Re: Rebuilding my rig Post by: Mulsters on April 19, 2016, 04:35:01 PM Great info!!

The difficulty is rising fast. |
