Title: Which Card to Sell? RX580 or GTX1070
Post by: noble.nz on April 04, 2018, 04:02:29 AM
Downsizing my mining operation and need help figuring which cards to sell and which to keep.

RX580 8GB or GTX1070 8GB

From what I understand and have currently read about future AMD card releases, ETH ASIC and ETH POS. I'm thinking of selling the RX580's first.  This would be on the basis that the 1070 has more mining potential and possibly a better re-sale in 6 months.

Keen to hear your thoughts?

Thanks
Rob

I agreed with you on keeping GTX1070 8Gb for sure. Not only about the thread of ETH asic and PoS to sell RX580 which I'm using a lot, 1070 is very flexible and could achieve high performance for most of algorithms. Before I even used 1070 to mine ETH, then I used it to switch mining between several algorithms which results to quite good profit. For the re-sale in 6 months, I dont think the price of 1070 will be reduced much. I'm also thinking about my RX580: keep them to mine (ETH+XMR) or re-sale to buy some asic miners.

well for me the fact that you refer to the 1070 as a specific "8GB" tells me your just one of the MANY nubs that threw money at this without even knowing the basics
So my answer is: sell them all. let REAL miners have them :D

yeah, selling RX580 to anticipate ASIC Miner or ETH POS but I doubt if 1070 will work well for future when NVIDIA will release a new product. in fact, the market situation has a big effect on the mining situation. whether an exchange market or hardware mining market.

lol. too lean and even loss because of impossible if selling them and taking 1080'ti in the same quantity. I think 1080'ti have a lower hash rate than RX580 and 1070 (join) although a bit saves money for a mining operation cost.
