Title: GTX 1080 Post by: radu91 on June 05, 2017, 03:59:45 PM Hey guys, I am having really hard time getting the amd rx580 8gb. I was bumped down on one website from 6 units to 2... then on another website righ after I placed the ~$1800 order the website crashed. They are all back ordered and so forth. I started considering 1080 GTX for ~500 a piece. I would like someone's more experienced opinion regarding this issue. Should I go for the nvidia or wait and do the AMD like everyone else.

AMD still has the advantage in cost/hash, but Nvidia is definitely in the game, especially for ZEC and skein. My MSI GTX 1080 Gamining X gets 550 H/s @ 180W on ZEC. I got it for $509 after rebate. I think the 1070 is the sweet spot as far as cost-per-performance.
