Title: ETH Mining - What GPU to buy Post by: andreiv26 on March 17, 2017, 01:38:33 AM Hi guys!
I currently have a gtx970 on my desktop rig and I'm mining only ETH. I want to buy another GPU and I wanted to ask whether another GTX 970 in SLI would be beneficial for me or should I opt for an RX 480? Would an AMD and NVidia card get along in the same rig, mining ETH? I'm waiting for other GPU suggestions if you have any. Thanks in advance, Andrei Title: Re: ETH Mining - What GPU to buy Post by: Arnoldent on March 17, 2017, 10:34:34 AM If you want to mine ETH, it is better to buy RX 480 or 470.

Title: Re: ETH Mining - What GPU to buy Post by: andreiv26 on March 17, 2017, 12:25:53 PM I bought an MSI rx480 cause I've heard it's a lot cooler. Does any of you know or can link me to a tutorial that shows how to mine in the same time on a NVIDIA card and an AMd one (what miners to use?)
Title: Re: ETH Mining - What GPU to buy Post by: uray on March 17, 2017, 03:43:21 PM RX470 with bios mod or wait for RX570
yes nvidia and amd cards can run and mining on same motherboard Title: Re: ETH Mining - What GPU to buy Post by: Newuser16 on March 21, 2017, 06:21:55 PM I bought an MSI rx480 cause I've heard it's a lot cooler.

You just need to run two miners and point each to one GPU!

Title: Re: ETH Mining - What GPU to buy Post by: coinzoid on March 21, 2017, 08:21:01 PM I recommend RX 480 Nitro. Samsung Chip works well with low power bios mod + downvolt.
Title: Re: ETH Mining - What GPU to buy Post by: philipma1957 on March 21, 2017, 08:45:51 PM here is a low cost rx 480 8gb card
http://www.diamondmultimediastore.com/radeon-rx400-series the reason I say it is good is the price. this card is better quality https://www.amazon.com/MSI-GAMING-RX-480-8G/dp/B01K1JTT8S/ref=sr_1_1? but it is 245 vs 200 if current coin prices hold and you have free power 100 days to pay off the diamond 122 days to pay off the msi Title: Re: ETH Mining - What GPU to buy Post by: andreiv26 on March 23, 2017, 05:52:27 AM I live in Europe I'm afraid, but thanks for the links!
I found some warehouse deals for the MSI and Sapphire rx 480 8GB almost same price around 250$. Which one would you choose between them 2? OC wise and bios modding wise? Title: Re: ETH Mining - What GPU to buy Post by: Karmia on March 23, 2017, 06:06:57 AM RX 470 or 480 .

RX 470 is good too. But I would love to mine with Rx480. Try to go with only RX480 in one rig. I feel that it would be much better than getting AMDs and NVIDIA running together on a single rig.

Happy Mining Mate! Already bought an msi rx 480 :D Getting 27MH with no bios flash, just afterburner OC. Thinking of buying 2 more then get a custom mining rig frame and other components.

What have changed so much since that ? I own 6 RX 470 and one rx480 ... all 4 gb Title: Re: ETH Mining - What GPU to buy Post by: sigb0y on March 23, 2017, 02:48:27 PM There you go! http://imgur.com/a/vEI3J Amazing, thank you! :)Title: Re: ETH Mining - What GPU to buy Post by: andreiv26 on March 24, 2017, 07:01:12 AM 4 months ago 8BG wasn't really a big yes at that time. 4 GB was fine.

Thanks in advance, Andrei Since you already have a Nvidia card, you might wanna stick to the same manufacturer at least if you want to add cards to the same machine, because the mixing of drivers has it's own set of issues. So i would suggest going with a Nvidia 1070 or if that's too expensive, a 1060. And on another note, do not use SLI or CrossFire bridges, they will decrease your mining efficiency, you just want to have have the cards connected to the mobo without bridges to use them for mining.

For ETH minining, it is better to use the AMD cards.

This will do the job. :) Title: Re: ETH Mining - What GPU to buy Post by: Haidong Liang on March 30, 2017, 05:01:03 PM Best ETH mining GPU for mining will be dual AMD r9 290x / r9 290 / 3x r7 370 4GB This will do the job. :) I think the RX series is better as they are more efficient and you can get mod bios. |
