Title: I have a couple questions - RX570/470 and the P106-100 models
Post by: r3lentleSs on October 31, 2018, 01:10:28 PM
I'm looking to buy some bulk miners from someone, but i have a couple of questions ?

First of all,  the Gainward P106-100 6GB Version Mining cards?

-----> Are these quality cards? I never heard of these models ?

Also, are these RX470 cards of 570 Red Dragon cards, i can't seem to find the RX470 model with the red dragon on it. So i presume they are 570's ? I already had the 570 Red Dragon and they look similar .....

And lastly i have an option to buy either 30 P106-100 mining rigs (containing 6 GPU's and MOBO, CPU, PSU....)
Or 15 x P106-100 and 15 x RX470/570


Personally, i would do 15 of each, because the RX has VIDEO, and the P106-100 doesn't...

What would u be willing to pay for 30 mining rigs, 180 cards - 30 H81 MOBO's - 30 CPU 30x 4GB ram - and 30 x 1600 WATT PSUs


Thank you

i wouldn't pay more then 100 for a used 470/80 570/80.   and prolly no more then 150 for the 1060's.  but that's just me.
if u were going to resell. id shoot my self in the face and make more profit. cause no ones buying when ebay prices are tank tank.

honestly. if u can't do a search for prices on parts. .............. ill stop there.

Like the above poster suggested. Go on eBay and check for the completed listings for the RX GPUs. Last time I checked I think you could buy some for less than $100 USD not including the shipping. If you were to sell these yourself you would need to subtract the eBay and Paypal fees.

So it depends how much you get all this hardware for. For $50 USD it seems like its worth the headache. However buying them for $100 USD each and selling for $100 USD minus like 10% in fees and getting the headache of chargebacks and returns is not worth the hassle.

Does anybody know if those are 470's or 570's now ?

I find alot of prices for the 470/570 cards, but not for the Gainwards P106-100 cards..

Im not looking to sell them on eBay or amazon, i have some people already lined up.

My AVG price would be $900 per FULL 6x GPU rig.
But ill look to get it more cheaper.

I remember, 1 year ago i bought 1060 cards looks exactly the same as 1050, according to nvidia site.
I cannot find this design anywhere, but only on Mongolian and Chinese sellers.

I thought, they try to cheat me and sell 1050 as 1060, but everything was fine and it was good cards,
they working with no problem.

Ow okay thanks.
Yes i Found out they are RX 470 Red Dragon mining edition.
Would u prefer the RX470 mining edition 's over the P106-100 cards?
The RX has video, but the 106-100 mines @ lower Watt.

If you ask me, i m definitely prefer nvidia cards.

For my mining experiences, my 1060 and 1070 rigs - for 2 years - have no single problem at all.
But rx470 rig very often drop hashrate, after re-connect to pool, go to shutdown sometimes and have other working issues.

Also, nvidia more energy efficient, so, lower bills for electricity.

But i m not a pro-miner, of course; you should listen more experienced people :)

Gainward P106-100 6GB has a rather weak cooling, but it is still a good graphics card. RX470/570 are good for mining Ether and Monero, and Nvidia is better for Ravencoin. Choose which coins you like best. Probably, you can take 50% of different cards.

Don't buy P106. They have no way out to the monitor, so if you wanted to sell them, they would have a much lower value than normal cards. In addition, they have a short warranty, propably three months.
