Title: Mine LTC with antminer L3 or mine ether with GPUs - need help
Post by: shield132 on December 30, 2017, 10:22:07 PM
Hello guys, I think to start mining, I was mining 4 years ago but everything has changed now.
I am planning to mine ltc with antminer L3 or mine ether with GPUs.
If I take GPUs, which one would you recomended to me? I see some people says mine with gtx 1070, 1080.... But as I see there are zotac gtx 1070, asus gtx, msi gtx, gigabyte, evga and a lot. Some of them has 4GB, 6GB, 8GB. I have no idea which one is good for mining? All of them are gtx 1070-1080 but with different names and different number of memory size.
If I start mining with antminer L3, I know what it will mine and how much but would mine with GPU if it's better, so need your advices guys.

Def GPU. You cant sell an ASIC when it becomes unprofitable to run. Check out mining hub pool and multi pool miner.

GPU mining gives you lots of options on what coins you want to mine. ETH is not the most profitable crypto to mine with a GPU. If you want a GPU you can actually get your hands on, check out NVIDIA GTX 1060/1070/1070ti/1080 etc.

I had the same question as the OP so I will post in this thread. What GPU setup would be the closest you can get to an L3+ miner in profitability with LTC?

Considering every circumstances, GPU mining Ethereum would be much more beneficial than anything else.
Ethereum and GPU's both have future as the crypto world would slowly leave behind the energy hungry mining process to some other technologies cheaper and safer.

Mining with GPUs more many of Coins variations. Some GPU has characteristics for Algorithm. like AMD Cards good mining for ETHASH algo, and NVIDIA good mining for Equihash Algo. For OP about NVIDIA, you can get zotac GTX 1070 or msi 1070 8 GB.
