What's the best coin/algo you can mine right now with a GTX 1070?

i have the same question,
when my card arrives i will try nemosminer and directly ETH and then decide which is more profitable.
Nicehash is also a possibility.
Maybe some other 1070 owners will tell us their experiences.

Stick to eth, if you want you can dual mine Sia/DCR, but this ll increase your power draw

on the lower right, click on the button that says 1070 (should go green) then put how many 1070's you have.  Then you can calculate and see what is the best coin.  A lot of options available...

ZCash and ETH  are ahead, typically trading blows depending on the rises and drops of their prices. You can Dual ETH+SIA for a bit extra reward at the cost of higher power draw and the inconvenience of having the earnings in 2 coins.

Hush is the best profit now on GTX1070 8GB.

I have 7 GTX1070.

Guys what are you mining now with 1070 ?

For my 1070 with memory Samsung is now equally profitable ZCash and ETH. The ETH heats up the map less, than ETH mine now.

I'm still mining ETH and with my four 1070 cards my estimated earnings is around $ 180 a month. Two days ago I was noticed a change in the difficulty and the calculation changed slightly for the better. I might also try DUAL mining with SIA. I have never tried so far.

how about XMR anyone try mining it with 1070 ? someone said that is more profitable because electricity power usage more lower
please give me advice about this, thanks before

use whattomine.com for reference of whats the most profitable coin.

Ethereum seems to be the best coin to mine with a GTX 1070 so far, it consumes about 15 watt less than when mining Zcash which is the second best coin to mine. I did my test at a rig of some friends with my watt meter and it showed a 15 watt energy consumed less for a card. For one card there is not a lot of difference but for 6 of them it's almost 100 watt cheaper per hour and it makes a difference in countries with expensive energy cost.

Maybe when Bitcoin gold comes out it will be a good coin to mine as it will be new and based on Equihash , an algorithm where Nvidia excel at mining.

Waht is your average temperature when mining zcash? Mine hit almos 75ºC

Hush!

I had a very similar result with energy consumption when it comes to Zcash and I agree that Zcash is the second best coin to mine with the 1070 card, but according to me I still think that ETH is more cost-effective. Do you perhaps know how to mine BTC Gold? Which mining program to use and how to setup the rig or it's too early for such information.

nVidia GTX 1070 are the bests GPUs to mine.
Ethereum is still profitable and tu upgrade your results, you have absolutely to dual-mine with SiaCoin and minimize the power comsuption to the minimum (100 or 115 W it's depends of the manufacturer) : the hashrate will not decrease.

If Gtx 1070 have Samsung memory of course Eth. But if Gtx 1070 have hynix memory, then Zec better. I think.

If you have only one GPU, good luck.

Tip:

Aim for any new coin and hope you picked the right one.

If I had one GPU I will mining AEON or Monero otherwise it's take so long time to profit and maybe cannot make a profit because the power consumption will decrease coin you get.

i actually want to ask this question. in fact i build my PC for Gaming, but i want to mine if i can.
i have tried mining zcash with this graphic card , but i don't know how much profit i get, i never tried to mine 24 hour because i was worried if my graphic card are quickly demaged.  anyway is that zcash the best coin for mining with gtx 1070?
if i look in https://whattomine.com/ the best coin to mine with GTX 1070 right know is zencash with $2.49 profit?

mining 24 hrs won't hurt that much on your GPU.

 
Its an estimate and constantly changing depends on the difficulty and coin price. right now, probably yes

I've actually been bouncing around more lately because of a lot of the new coins and the fire that bitcoin has started.  Zcash is of course very good if you just want to keep it simple.  But look on the announcement page and check out some new coins.  There are still some new coins coming that aren't all premine or airdrop.

Try Nicehash or WinMiner

still waiting for nicehash linux miner

i mine always zcash !!

I have both of them and all of my gtx 1070 give me 31Mh/s(eth) with overclock: Mem clock +600 and Core CLock -200

Zcash here :p

On Sunday evening it will be BTG - thats at least my bet :)

Three days ago I switched to the NiceHash and I chose to mine only CryptoNight.
With the four GTX 1070 my speed is ~2.50 kH/s. and the power consumption is ~400W.
After three days, my unpaid balance shows 0.003038 BTC.

The best coin for gtx 1070 it is Zencash for now. Of course, it depend every day, but we will wait for bitcoin gold and that will see prize.

Why would people use gaming GPU rather than those that are specifically developed for mining?
Thank you!

The re-sale value. For whatever reason you would like to sell your gpu, you have a market still interested in the gpu. After you mined if of course it will be worn down, but gamers can still use them and therefore still take advantage of them. But when a mining-only gpu worns down or its hashrate is not profitable anymore, no one will be interested in buying it second hand. It becomes useless and with no re-sale value. Also the guarantee of the mining-only gpus I've seen is very short, like 3 months or so.

If you don't use a gaming gpu for mining anymore you can still enjoy it's display benefits.
