Title: What should i choose between 1060 6gb, 1070, 1080, 1080ti?
Post by: jenifive on August 29, 2017, 08:07:53 PM
Suppose i should buy 50% of 1070, 25% of 1060 6gb, 25% 1080ti.

Or 100% of 1070

Or 100% of 1080

How do you think i should distribute my money into buying these GPUs?

Cost for these GPUs in my country are:

1060 6gb = 324$
1070 = 512$
1080 = 572$
1080ti = 837$



I will refrase my question

Assuming the cost for GPUs in my country

1060 6gb = 324$
1070 = 512$
1080 = 572$
1080ti = 837$

What should i buy between this?

23x 1070
36x 1060 6gb
20x 1080
14x 1080ti

Your price are too high. If you are in the USA pm me and I'll give you a place u can get them for~ $100 less per.

Well, it also depends on your costs of electricity, if for some reason you happen to have free/very cheap electricity I'd recommend going with 1080TI's, otherwise 1070's.
Calculate ROI based on earns - costs (per month) and determine how long will it take until each GPU pays off. This way you will obtaing a rough answer.

There are still many variables to take into consideration such as, motherboard pcie slots, PSU capacity, amount of risers required, etc.

If you are a professional rig with a huge amount of money, you should choose 1060 3GB or P106(Professional Miner Card), these two are the most popular choice in the rig group in China, another choice is 1070. And I assume you want to mine ETH or ETC.

If you want to mine DeepOnion, it will boom soon I think, you should buy a ASIC rig for X13.

Don't choose 1080Ti, you will regret, I really don't know which coin is better for 1080Ti (SIGT maybe, but it will turn to POS soon)

1060 6gb = 324$
1070 = 512$
1080 = 572$
1080ti = 837$



Actually those prices are off a bit. Search a bit more & you can get some cheaper :P
Me personally I went with 1070s. They were right for me. I've got them to 31.5MH/s at 125watts each, which is better than I'd hoped :) As I understand it though unless you mod the BIOS don't get 1080s cause by default they hash at like 4MH/s or something.. The 1080ti is a bit rich for my blood & while I'm not entirely sure what they can be OC'd to, their power usage for the extra few MH didn't seem to make sense to me. For now at least...

Also it depends what you are mining. As I understand it coin like Zcach don't have the same DAG limit, so in that case even 4GB cards would do great for a long time. I got 8GB 1070s because the Ethereum DAG won't get close to that for a couple years, if it doesn't go POS first that is.

Don't just buy the best of the best. Look at at all the cards as a whole, in that it'd probably be better to have more lower power cards than less higher. Make a spreadsheet & put all their stats that matter(power, hashrate, cost), then get the only # that matters: hash/watt & pick the cards based on that.

One last thing. Someone else made a good point that environmental factors play in as well. If you have cheap power etc. I had to get not 1 but 2 solar systems(15 kilowatts) here in Cali where it's 19 cents/KWh otherwise there'd be little point in mining at all.

They generally go up lineraly, with teh 1070 and 1060 being slightly more efficient than the higher cards. But really it's all about sticker price and longevity. So with a 1060 you might get 25 hash, 1070 50 hash, 1080 75 hash, Ti 100. Although it's not perfect and again the cheaper ones are generally more efficient, but you need more space and auxiliary hardware

The more expensive cards will hold their value better

Cheaper cards will pay themselves back faster unless you get a deal.

Really it's all about finding cheap cards more than anything

I want to mine what is profitable to mine.

So is this ZEC than i will mine ZEC. Or LBC.

But what about 1080?


Look at the comparison

1x 1070

SIGT which runs on skunkhash is by far the most profitable at this moment

It's just not being reported correctly in teh calculators

As a general rule 25 50 75 100 hash is teh breakdown

Do the math on your electric, space, longevity, price of otehr hardware

SO many variables

Mining ETH you'll max out around 25 MH for a 1060 6GB / P106-100, 32 for a 1070 and 38 for a 1080 Ti pushing them hard.

Considering you would be making over 20% more on SIGT, opportunity cost says you're losing money on the table not profiting

So am I :)

But I may change things up here in a bit depending on how things go. In theory you should mine whatever is the most profitable now & exchange it for whatever is worth the most later(when you cash out). It's my job to mine as much as I can & my wife's job to trade it for even more :P

With the amount of money you've made mining MUSICOIN since Epoch #0 you should be swimming in BTC and should just pass on mining; its pocket change.

I will refrase my question

Assuming the cost for GPUs in my country

1060 6gb = 324$
1070 = 512$
1080 = 572$
1080ti = 837$

What should i buy between this?

23x 1070
36x 1060 6gb
20x 1080
14x 1080ti



To be honest if you're going to spend $15-20k to start mining you might want to hire someone to advise & help setup/manage everything. Otherwise while other's suggestions are helpful, you may find that based on your needs the best combination is custom. If you're really serious about $20k you need a business plan, in my opinion at least.

Short to mid-term:

23x 1070

Long-term:

1080 TI


Other question:


Maybe investing in well-chosen Altcoins is the better solution. You can distribute your investments quite well and lastly the hype in the ICO / Cryptocurrency market is so huge that you probably will not leave without good profits. :)

All the best

Invest some in altcoins. (some top 10/25 coins + some low market share coins) Look for rising difficulty/hashrate +increasing trading caps at exchanges)
+ buy  few  rigs
If you need to buy a GPU  buy 1080ti. Buy the best reliable COOL card.
 Less systems to upkeep. (They will HAVE  problems!!) Only "problem"" is resale value of 1080 ti with Volta coming out (unclear when). Value Might drop to 300-400 range Used.
I think a lot will depend upon when AMD will drop  prices of their failed Vega GPU.

Happy mining

Invest some in altcoins. (some top 10/25 coins + some low market share coins) Look for rising difficulty/hashrate +increasing trading caps at exchanges)

I already investing in some altcoins during a year.
I already have 4 rigs with 1070
and 2 rigs with 1080ti
and 1 rig with 1060 6gb
and  im still not sure what should i buy now
1060 or 1070 or 1080 1080ti

if you look at the 1080 and 1070 the difference between the price is only 60$

but profit is between mining zec on 1080 and 1070 is 28%
but the difference between cost for 1 GPU between 1070 and 1080 is 10%

So maybe 1080 is the best choice here?

Suppose i should buy 50% of 1070, 25% of 1060 6gb, 25% 1080ti.

Or 100% of 1070

Or 100% of 1080

How do you think i should distribute my money into buying these GPUs?

Cost for these GPUs in my country are:

1060 6gb = 324$
1070 = 512$
1080 = 572$
1080ti = 837$



I will refrase my question

Assuming the cost for GPUs in my country

1060 6gb = 324$
1070 = 512$
1080 = 572$
1080ti = 837$

What should i buy between this?

23x 1070
36x 1060 6gb
20x 1080
14x 1080ti



To be honest if you're going to spend $15-20k to start mining you might want to hire someone to advise & help setup/manage everything. Otherwise while other's suggestions are helpful, you may find that based on your needs the best combination is custom. If you're really serious about $20k you need a business plan, in my opinion at least.

Not sure that you need to hire anyone, in this forum you can find all necessary info
but I agree on business plan
you need to have it before you will open wallet
