Title: gpu 4go for ETH
Post by: matmator on June 02, 2017, 10:55:44 PM
Hello

In your opinion, in how long will the gpu 4go be obsolete to miner ethereum?

Because impossible to find rx 480/580 8go.

So I think take 4go, but I'm afraid that it quickly obsolete like the 2go.

thank you

Don't worry about it. The Dag ~0.73x per year growth level puts it at 4 GB some time in 2019. By then the cards will have payed off many times over or ETH will move to POS. You can always resell the cards to recover a good part of your cost too.

Thank you for your reply the friend.

It is already 2 weeks that I wait for my rx580 8go. But I think to cancel it to take 4go.

what do you think about it ?

No point in waiting for the 8 GB. The hashrate is almost the same after BIOS mod. I say get the 4GB. Cheaper, so ROI is quicker and the faster you start, the faster that will happen.

Don't worry about that it will not be any time soon.
I mined with my 2Gb cards for 2 years after the DAG became so big that they will stop mining.
What I want to say is that you will have recovered your spendings and will have accumulated enough capital to reinvest in new ones.
Just mine ;)
