To get to earn let's say 5 $ a day how many gpus do i need? between 580 and 1060 which is better for mining?

Do you have free electricity? The reason I asked is because rx580 takes too much energy from the wall like 140-150watts mining Ethereum, the gtx1060 is oldish can only do 22-23MH at 80-100watts not worth it.... Instead buy gtx1660 it can do 25MH with 60watt

You will need 5 pieces of rx580 8gb GPU to earn 5$ per day since they can do 30-31MH depending on memory type but they are power hungry GPUs but still they are the cheapest to find this days, if you want to save power consumption you will need 1660 super and 1660Ti.

4-5 1060 6GB will net you about $5 per day. 5 if you are paying electric at normal costs per kwH. The 580 is about 5MH/s faster than the 1060 6GB (both at standard clocks) so that would be a better bet than the 1060. I have one 1060 and one RX580 8GB.

alucard20724 thanks for the link, it's really a useful tool. What can you say about the accuracy of this calculator? Did you test it?

It's accurate, that's Nicehash calculator and it's one of the best crypto mining pool out there, you aren't satisfied enough? Check the link below to minerstat calculator too

I am definitely satisfied, also, thanks for the links to the other two calculators.

Check your results with this calculator. And we all understand that if Ethereum mining ends, then 5 dollars a day will be very difficult to earn if you have 5 video cards.The Rx580 can be found newer than the old GTX 1060.
