Title: My second Mining Rig Need help
Post by: Chipychop on August 31, 2017, 04:28:36 PM
Hi mates,

I have some doubts related to which cards I should buy

Electricity costs here are around 0.13€

I have the following options:

1. 6 rx 580 nitro+ 8gb hynix memory (3 used and with mod bios) for 1800€

2. 6 rx 580 red devil 8 gb brand new for 1820€

3. 6 rx 570 gaming x 4gb brand new for 1674€

4. 6 rx 570 nitro+ 4gb brand new for 1700€

Tell me your impressions and thanks in advance

Hi
the question I have here : do you considering AMD cards strictly ?
and what coin are you planing to mine? will it be eth?

considering your cost of electricity I'd better take a look for nvidia cards, 1060 for example
with PL 80 it usually consumes about 90-95W only and you can mine more altcoins because of better ccminer

imho.

mmmm I have thought about it also. in fact I have 2 gtx 1070 mining.

zotac gtx 1060 6gb amp would cost me 279€. I suppose 3gb are not an option because dag size.

what do you think?
