Title: Recommandations for NVIDIA rigs ? Post by: Cereberus on June 10, 2017, 02:33:44 PM I am mining well with up to 5 RX 480 GPU-s in a few boards I have running (not alone but with friends).
Now I am thinking to build 2 boards only for me with Nvidias and my budget is limited to 6 X GTX 1070 plus 2x GTX 1060 Or 12 GTX 1060 (3GB) I want to ask a few recommendations which brand is best for this job and of course which brand has the better cooler. Palit sucks , 90% fan and it runs over 70 grade celsius so is out of the question. I am thinking about MSI, EVGA or GIGABYTE (don't want to mess with the Asus STRIX, heard they have problem mining). Thanks to all who will share their idea. Title: Re: Recommandations for NVIDIA rigs ? Post by: Ayers on June 10, 2017, 02:40:37 PM asus and palit are the best for me, i would suggest also to not go with 1060 i think 1070 and 1080 are betetr option now, they have better density if you have a small farm, you would save on the other components
Title: Re: Recommandations for NVIDIA rigs ? Post by: cryptominer420 on June 10, 2017, 02:58:35 PM Go with 1070's they seem to be the best middle ground of the Nvidia Lineup. I have 2 1070FE 4 card rigs and they are doing .035BTC on zpool.ca using nemosminer bat file (Remember auto exchange pools can take 48-72 hours to show you a real average payout).
Title: Re: Recommandations for NVIDIA rigs ? Post by: Cereberus on June 11, 2017, 05:09:21 PM After some studies I conduct it appears I will go with 12 Nvidia GTX 1060 and I have come down to only these 2 model of the cards
1. Gigabyte G1 Gaming 2. Palit (The JetStream version) Which one is better and has better cooling ability in your opinion ? Title: Re: Recommandations for NVIDIA rigs ?

EVGA or Palit ( Gamerock or Jetstream versions) are the best choice.1. Gigabyte G1 Gaming 2. Palit (The JetStream version) Which one is better and has better cooling ability in your opinion ? Title: Re: Recommandations for NVIDIA rigs ? Post by: vikeh on June 11, 2017, 06:49:07 PM I recommend the inno3D GTX 1060 3GB Compact or Palit ones. Both are good. Obviously you can buy 1070s, but I'm quite happy with the ones I have.
Title: Re: Recommandations for NVIDIA rigs ? Post by: klondike_bar on June 11, 2017, 08:31:38 PM you can get 1060 3gb cards for a steal (<$200 for the itx versions) right now and get ROI as quickly as a $300 480 card can
but you can get a better density with 1070 cards. and a 1080ti is also pulling a greta return and will always retain a strong resale value (easier to resell a 1080ti for $500 next year than a trio of $125 1060 cards) Title: Re: Recommandations for NVIDIA rigs ? Post by: Vann on June 11, 2017, 09:27:05 PM If want to mine ETH, don't get the 1080. The memory is not as good as on the other GTX 10 models. I get 25 MH/s. The 1070 gets ~30 MH/s and the 1060 ~24 MH/s and those are cheaper than a 1080. The 1080 Ti gets ~37 MH/s but is $700+. The 1080 is good for ZEC though, I get 550 H/s at 70% TDP. The GTX 1070 is currently the best overalll Nvidia card for the price IMO.

Do they have the same hashrate as normal gtx 1060 3gb or they have a smaller one ? I don't intend to resell as with the actual price of bitcoin ROI is just 45 days for such cards.

Even if 3GB won't be good for ETH there is always ZEC and LBRY which produce almost the same if not some better ROI for Nvidia cards. Normally if performance is the same I am not worried as the fan of ITX is pretty big so it won't fail that easy I believe. However I need some opinions from people who are mining with ITX cards if there are any here that are doing this ? Title: Re: Recommandations for NVIDIA rigs ? Post by: nu1mlock on June 12, 2017, 07:24:49 AM I have 6x Sapphire RX 570 Pulse Mini (ITX) and one of the card's fan stopped working within a week. I was probably just unlucky though.

You are making me think to get back to GTX 1070 ITX versions because with that hashrate you ROI a card in less than 3 months. I will keep my board open and I think I will have lower temperatures. So you say to go with Gigabyte ITX versions, what is its name, G1, Windforce or how it is called so I can check ? Title: Re: Recommandations for NVIDIA rigs ?
