Title: Best 480 brand and model to mine? Post by: kalhohan on November 08, 2016, 02:13:41 PM Hi,
Since there's several brand and models for 480, do you have advice for me to buy the right model of 480 to mine ( eth or zcash)? One with stability and ability to tune memory on bios. By advance Many thanks. Title: Re: Best 480 brand and model to mine? Post by: du44 on November 08, 2016, 02:28:25 PM Look at Sapphire - good cooling and i never seen Micron memory here,,,
And IceQ - lowest power consumtion from pci-e slot from all 480's Title: Re: Best 480 brand and model to mine? Post by: kalhohan on November 08, 2016, 03:41:37 PM The reference one , or the one with 2 fans?
Title: Re: Best 480 brand and model to mine? Post by: Cryptozillah on November 08, 2016, 05:26:57 PM I have MSI, Sapphire and Asus Reference 480 8GB cards.
All of them perform the same. 30.5 ETH 55-57 ZEC With strap modded bios. I would just buy the cheapest one. Title: Re: Best 480 brand and model to mine? Post by: toptek on November 08, 2016, 07:36:08 PM LIke Cryptozillah said buy the cheapest one and mode, i did and it works just as good as the one that cost 20 bucks more only diffidence I saw was two or 3 fans over one and one bios not two that's with any 470 or 480 card till the 490 comes out then it changes some.

Post by: btrash on November 10, 2016, 09:23:45 AM Hi. I would like to know whats the reason behind buying the 8gb model. I see that this is the most common model to buy.
Isn't the 4gb ram model cheaper? Title: Re: Best 480 brand and model to mine?

Title: Re: Best 480 brand and model to mine? Post by: btrash on November 10, 2016, 10:00:02 AM so getting the 8gb version is mostly to future proof in case currencies decide to use more RAM?
