What do you think the best GPU for mining eth is?

Given that money matters RX 570 RX 580 give by far the best Hashrate/Cost-To-Buy.   If Ethereum price falls even more and price of electricity is high then maybe 1060 with Samsung memory will be the best due to higher Hashrate/ElectricityConsumption.

I bought two Titan Vs for something else(yes I am aware they are expensive and not practical for mining), but have put them to work with ETH. 79Mh/s per card with a little over clock, so roughly 158Mh/s for the pair. I've seen people getting 82-84Mh/s out of them, but I have been unable to get there. They start to get a bit unstable when trying to really crank them up.  

What is the Mh/s rate of an RX 570/580 on ETH?

I'm flirting with 32 MH/s per card.

Are these 580s?

Yes.

But it seems I'm pretty lucky or I used the est tool to mod the bios.

AMD cards such RX480, RX580, Vega are the best on ETH. if those GPUs VRAM chip is Samsung then owner the GPU very lucky.

I agree with the posts here. The RX570 and RX580 have the best profit for Ether.

Reasonable has rates to be expected are...

570: 27MH/s - 29MH/s (with bios mod, overclocked, compute mode)
580: 28MH/s - 31MH/s (with bios mod, overclocked, compute mode)

Hash rates higher and lower can be obtained. Higher if you are lucky.

Also, please note that I have a lot of cards that I can get up to 31-33 MH/s however they produce memory errors so the memory speed needed to be lowered.

You should verify that you are getting the most profit (or raw coin if that is what you are after) per clock speed / power draw and also validate zero to very few memory errors per hour...

My Hynix are going pretty strong, not so sure the Samsung are better.

My rx 580s are only getting about 20m/hs  tried over clocking tried flashing the bios amd changing thr bios no change

Have you tried the mining drivers?

I haven't tried them yet, but I have read good things about them.

so do you have a rx480 or rx580 cards hashnig with 31MH/s and draw 75 watts at the wall ????? 75watts real power usage for any of those cards with 31MH/s hashing speed ? Im sure you know what are you talking about , but can we see some prove please ?
Please share your "voltage tweak" with us :) with some picture about your watts meter pluggen into the wall socket ... No no , dont need any picture about any software reading , as all of us know those power readings are not for the cards :) those power reading usually a power draw for the gpu chip on the cards ;)

Nvidia P104 mining GPU's, if found at the orignal 350$-400$ price. These babies can do ~43mh on ethereum, while drawing just under 120W.

More like ~39 MH/s at 170W is the benchmarks I've seen. The original $400 price is a fantasy at this point. If you could get RX 570's for their original price, with two you would get ~56 MH/s for less than $400.

There are many different excellent GPU  for mining but I can highlight the next list:
Nvidia’s GTX 1070 isn’t just a great graphics card for gaming, it’s also an excellent mining GPU. This is because it manages a high hash rate of around 30 mh/s without needed too much power.
The AMD Radeon RX 580 is one of the very best GPUs for mining, and in fact is a bit of a victim of its own success, as it can sometimes be difficult to find. However, its popularity is warranted, as it offers an excellent hash rate of 29 mh/s, while also keeping the electricity consumption low as well.
The AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 is one of the best value-packed graphics card on the market right now. Benchmarks prove it runs faster than the Nvidia GTX 1070 and, thanks to the Bitcoin mining craze, it’s also cheaper to boot.
The Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti remains one of the most powerful graphics cards in the world, and is our recommendation as the best graphics card for 4K gaming.

I received a Gigabyte P104-100 as a sample, in my testing it did 43mh/s at 58% power limit, and ~120W power so ....
Didn't keep it though, since minimum order was 50 pieces and the price was 700$ per piece.

- Exactly.

Again, Rig of 13 RX570 gives 390MH and cost of 1 card is 310USD as of today. $4000 per all GPU.
Rig of 10 P104-100 gives 400MH and cost of 1 cards is $700USD as of today. $7000 per all GPU.
To make it en par cost of P104-100 must be $400 delivered in USA. Which never was the case.

Power consumption difference. RIG of 13 RX570 = 1000Wt, RIG of 10 P104 = 1500Wt.
So even with theoretical price decrease, you still pay 50% more for electricity.

And, finally, there is no resale value and 3 month warranty.

1000 watts for 13xRX570 cards ??? from where the hell you get that number from ???
Dont mislead people please , some newbies reading this and starting to build a 13xRX570 gpu rigs with a 1000 watts psu :)
You really dont have any idea what you are talking about !!!

Where you can get 13x  rx570 crads for 310$/cards as of today 2-6-2018 ???

Oh yeah ! Bitcoin mining with GTX 1070 ... Are you serious ??????

Why not are you gamer with this card. This is the one of the best card to mine the altcoins. You can get the 34 MH for mining ethereum. I think you haven't tried this buddy. Please look about its specification bro. Then only you will understand.

I see more people mining with the Nvidia 1060 and 1070 cards. You will get the decent profit for make the more money with the 5 to any number of cards. I suggest to invest and try on this and then only you can understand it.

I mean you can not mine BTC with those cards ;) boddy ;) you should try and let see how much profit you can make ;) let us know :)
Yes you can mine a lot of diffenert coins , but not BTC :)

Now i feel like im a kind a nob with mining ,building rigs,  but thank you for the suggestion ;) ;D
Oh... btw , this my latest gaming rig  ;D , and have a few more ;)

Not bad duuude :)

He may of meant nicehash since it pays in bitcoin :D

IMHO the best card for mining is the GTX1070 or the P104-100(Like others said if you can even find them) Simply because your guaranteed 30Mh/s regardless of the manufacture of memory, they can do mutli-algos like Lyra2v2, they consume far less power than RX580s. They're only negative is the high cost, i bought mine around normal price of 400-440 but every card as feb-6-2018 is OOS.

Next would be the RX580's/570 I have some as well and I Love and hate them, cheap cost(250-300) when i bought them, WITH BIOS MOD, can do 27-30 Hashes, and Dual mine like beasts. The negatives are High power consumption, around 130w~ ETH mining and 170-180w Dual mining. Additionally one the positives they had, dual mining, is about to go away because of all the new ASIC miners about to hit the dual-mining coins.

Last would be the 1060 3GB, when they have Samsung they are ETH beasts! 24mh/s at 80-85w! and at their(MSRP) price of 200-220 they were awesome however those days are sadly long gone and we are stuck with Hynix now. They are still awesome for Equihash like Zcash based coins, but on ETH they now barely do 19 with a good OC. P106-100 are all that's left for ETH and those aren't available in North America.

The EVGA GTX 1080 Ti provides hashrate of 36 MHash/s for Ethereum at Coreclock 1916 while consuming 265 watts.

If you get 36MH/s on a 1080Ti you are going it wrong.
You are supposed to use the EthPill ! Makes it bigger
