Title: Alternatives to AMD Vega 64 Post by: rumpel_tusk on December 14, 2017, 02:28:12 PM Currently, AMD Vega 64's are a hot commodity. I cannot order or pre-order one on any legitimate website that I can find. I am in the market for this particular GPU because it has a lot of potential in terms of modding for the most power it can produce, and it is great for mining Cryptonight algo. I want to mine Monero on the majority of my GPU's, which is why I want this GPU.
I decided not to go with Nvidia GPU's for my first rig because I feel that AMD's have a broader range of capabilities in terms of algos and hashrate, although I know depending on the model they can be power hungry and very hot. I have decided not to pursue the Vega 64's for now because I cannot find them available, so my question is what is the best AMD alternative to the AMD Vega 64 for mining Monero and other popular Altcoin algos? If you have personal experience in this matter, or have heard things, any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

It's best to grab a 120 day ROI card right now and start making money than wait and try to grab a 90 day ROI card.
If you don't mind used I'm selling 2x Vega 64 and a Vega frontier now. Selling another 5x Vegas 56 in another month. Details in sig.

If you specifically just want to mine cryptonight, there are alternatives in polaris based cards, e.g 470, 480, 570, 580. with tweaks here and there you can actually reach a quite high hashrate because AMD cards are good in cryptonight. For just under $300 each you can buy 2 580's and have almost the same hashrate as Vega 64. For a cheaper price, since distributors tend to raise the Vega price along with high demand.
