Title: rx 570 vs gtx 1070 for mining zcash/eth
Post by: vince212 on May 29, 2017, 05:40:37 PM
hi guys im going to build a new mining rig. dont mind paying more for the 1070 if it has better hashrate per watt.

basically i just want maybe a 4 or 5 gpu mining rig since it is easier to set up

if i run this rig 24/7 i pay about .26usd per kw/h

gonna mine eth and zcash

1070 is better than 570 or 580 for ZEC.

Depends at what price you can get em really. 570s are ridiculously overpriced like the 580s most of the time. Fortunately you can get those overpriced cards for less than some 1070s. Unfortunately for folks like me I prefer to pay in BTC on Newegg for GPUs and they sell out in minutes.

I was lucky to get gigabyte 570 4g for 184$ each on newegg and pushed them to 29Mh/s

but what about 1060/1070 hashrate ?

1070 will hash about 28MHs and about 100W, it is more expensive, but you have more mining option.

more mining option you mean more coins to choose from? what about 1060, they are way cheaper

Could you please point me in the right direction to get information/setup information for that kind of mhs for a 1070?  I'm only getting 23mhs with my 1080  :'(

Hmmm i dont mind paying more for the 1070
If getting the 1070 translates to lower electricity bill
