Title: r7 370 4 gig vs 2 gig Post by: MathiasPetit on April 18, 2016, 07:48:33 PM hi
i am doubting to build my second mining rig. for my first rig i bought 6x asus radeon r7 370 4gb but to lower my cost i am doubting to buy 6x XFX Radeon R7 370 - Double Dissipation Edition - 2GB GDDR5. should i give it a go with those cards for eth or will it fail because of the 2gig ?

ETH mining won't be profitable by the time DAG goes to 2GB. The DAG increase 600MB every year. 2GB is for 1.5 years as the DAG started from 1GB. So it should be in PoS status then. Title: Re: r7 370 4 gig vs 2 gig Post by: Erkallys on April 19, 2016, 10:12:05 AM You should buy the 4 Go cards, because because of the DAG size, you may not be able to mine with them after some time. Also, in case of the resell value, it will be higher.
