Title: BEST MINING CARD : COST/HASHING POWER/POWER USAGE
Post by: bittawm on November 14, 2016, 07:54:32 AM
what card is currently the most cost effective and efficient with zcash and eth,

i have rx480 8gb reference cards and I am seeing people with rx470 4gb with amazing results, what are you all achieving and what is currently the best card.

I know nanos are amazing but god damn theyre expensive

thoughts?

470 with optiminer can reach 120 sol apparently, i don't have any but there are numerous people on the forum with that speed

to me it seems the best compromise between a cheap card and good hash

I have a few 470 4gb, from different brand, and with custom bios (1500 timing everywhere) then do 120Sol with claymore miner v5.0.

So, i think that they have the best profit ratio in the market

470s are great and they have low power usage good hashing speed.

7950/7970 if you can find them give good speeds and use a bit more power but will cost less than half 470s.

On eth you need the new cards, on zcash the old gpus became useful.

Rx 470 can be found for 175 usd pretty much the best deal going.

it needs a update. rx 470 shows 30 sol/s ?? V5 gives 115-120 sol/s .

It is manually maintained by nice hash people i think, and nowadays those hashrate change every few hours.. So for equihash you should really read this values here in the forum and to the calculation using coinwarz or whattomine
