Title: Can't decide what to pick for first mining rig 270 vs 280 Post by: doto on February 24, 2014, 01:43:13 PM Can't decide what to pick for first mining rig 270 vs 280 I really cannot decide what to buy for my mining rig to start with. 280x has better kh/s but consumes more than the 270, but costs 120 $ more . On the long term which one would benefit me more ? With 280x i would get more coins but higher energy consumption, i pay aprox 15-18c for kw/h 270 is cheaper and lower energy consumption.

Some models are really the twice of the price like the Sapphire toxic. But the MSI one is 120 $ more.

Coinsfortech has them for $240 shipped, I might grab a few from them because I can't find a better deal.
