Are Vega cards still available in the market today? I can't even find one in China right now, they have been sold out both new and used, only a old time miner can sell you a rc vega 56 right now, if I knew that they cards are good for Autolykos algo I wouldn't have sold mine.
These graphics cards will sell, but I haven't seen many for sale. Over the past 5 years, many video cards have broken down, some have problems with overclocking. Therefore, for a beginner in about a month, there will be many other cheap alternatives on the market to buy. I can't wait to buy cards again for 60-80 USD for the Rx 570,I will buy them at such price and even mine at a loss because of energy consumption,I will do so because I am extremely confident in a huge rebound of cryptos now that almost everyone does not expect such thing to happen. I would suggest you do the same wait for at least 3 other weeks and build a rig with the cheapest possible cost,do so early as price of cards may rebound as soon as we see crypto prices going up again.It is going to be one hell of a September,why not that of 2017 which brought the first all time high for us in December but the price increase started in that September. For 60-70 dollars you will buy video cards with non-working copper tubes of the cooling system and fans that need to be replaced. Broken fans are not so bad and can be easily replaced with cheap 80x80 fans from the store. But these graphics cards have problems with copper tubes when gas comes out. Such video cards work for me at a temperature of 90 degrees in the summer. In winter, the situation is better, but I don’t want to buy this anymore. |

I had a few of the 390 and many of the r9 290. The only way how to make it efficient you need to undervolt it to the max, I forgot how low I set the voltage and you need to underclock it so low that it'll hash at like 20-22mh/s or something. By doing so it'll be efficient however VERY slow.
However the GPU will run cool and if you got the reference models you can use it in your room and it won't be loud as a vacuum. However keep in mind this is a GPU that came out in late 2013, so its almost a decade old. It will never be as efficient as some of the GPU cards of today.
It is built like a tank however. They will never die. Unlike the Vega or Fury GPUs from the day.
Great, when I had these video cards, there were no firmware for the BIOS. After I sold these video cards, bios modification appeared. If it is possible to get 20 megahash by consuming 150 watts, then this is also very bad. Probably better to buy a 1060 6 GB video card, which will give 23 megahash at 90 watts and it will be much younger. |

I bought some rx580 graphic cards from China for 120$ each and I successfully build my first rig, thanks to YouTube video it's not that hard like I've imagined, after placing the order my mind is plagued with thoughts of messing things up  The only issue I am having now is the hashrate number, I am getting 27MH from the graphic cards each and a friend rx580 rig is getting 31MH, any ideas of what I can do next? I am running HiveOS. I like the rig it will cool well. How are the temps? Do you stay at a good number for the cards. What is the psu? Could you screen shot hiveOS so we can see readout. Can you show the mobo and psu. Lastly how are you cooling room 8 cards are close to 1200 watts the room must be pretty warm. 1) My Temp never exceed 60°C in a very hot weather, I placed the mining rig very close to my window and there are trees in my compound with cool breeze doing it's thing. I have also managed to get 29MH+ after few trials.  2) I am using a B250 motherboard and a Daylead 1600 watt PSU The temp isn't bad at all as there is good breeze in my compound, it do seize here and there but it helps and I make sure the rig is set close to window, no problem so far.  Good settings and you're lucky with your memory. Memory can be increased to 2150-2200, but this may affect the stability of the work. If the mining farm is stable, then I would not change anything. Some miners increase the memory to 2250 and get almost 32 megahash, but this is probably just for showing off. There will be no stability with these settings. |

The only thing that makes a graphic card outdated is lesser VRAM, if you can say that RX580 8gb are no more a good choice for mining what about GTX 1070 and 1080? To me they are in same category, they are old but still works because they have 8GB memory, that's all that matters, if you can pay the bills for power consumption then you are not on a wrong path.
You are wrong, less vram is just a part, high electricity consumption takes over profits faster than Vram, there are old graphic cards with 8gb Vram today but they are bad for crypto mining because of power consumption, you will use the whole profit to pay for electricity bills. It depends on the cost of electricity in your country. If you have such prices, then you have a great advantage. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5411174.msg60834095#msg60834095You need to have experience to buy good 5 year old graphics cards after mining. For 5 years, my 1070 and 1080 graphics cards have given me no problems. 3060 and other video cards have a lot of negative reviews due to memory |

100$ per rx580 is the minimal expectation and yes this is still a good investment if only the next Ethereum fork is going to be successful and profitable for miners, also you need to have free electricity to run this old bad boys, I am not ready to take the chances so my target is those 6600XT AMD cards, I hope I can get those for 180$ each.
Of course, it is better to buy AMD 6600XT for $180 instead of rx580 video cards, because you can install 2 times more video cards for the same power consumption. But I see the problem with the price. In my country, these video cards cost more than $350 and so far the prices are not falling. The same where I am because that card 6600 XT is very good for gaming also and it has value even for other uses except mining.Gamers now are not a problem as they have tons and I mean tons of options to play their games,so they are not a burden on the miners anymore.We have just to wait to see what will happen after the ETH merge and moves to PoS and I think a couple of days or maximum couple of weeks after that is the best time to stock up video cards with ridiculous cheap prices. Right now ETC is taking the lead from many people who have switched to it,its difficulty got from 300 T levels before news of ETH PoS to over 600 T now,a double increase. Now profit on ethereum classic 20 cents Rx 580 120 watts, 5 cents per kilowatt or profit 29 cents 6600 XT 60 watts, 5 cents per kilowatt Not even all miners pay 5 cents here, for many, energy is much more expensive. In a few weeks, the profit will drop very much on video cards on this coin due to the arrival of ASICs. |

I have a mining rig with 8 graphic cards that I build in December of 2021 and I have made most money back but now that almost all the good altcoins have lost high amount of value I feel like selling my rig and buy coins but.....
I look at the long term, if I use the money and buy coins, let say I have 5 different coins in a wallet, that's going to be it, but if I keep my rig I can keep accumulating coins that I want for like forever, till mining is dead.
One thing strikes my mind again, bear market don't stay for long, highest is 2 years, so what is the right state of mind for you.
If you do not need money, if the mining farm does not cause problems and you can pay for electricity without problems for your budget, then continue to mine cryptocurrencies. I advise selling a mining farm when for the money that you spend paying for electricity, you can buy more coins than your farm mines. |

Between mining frame and closed cases which one cools graphic cards the most? Also how many rig is safe to put in a room size place? Rigs with 8 gpu per case.
What is the area of the room? I had about 30 video cards in a 24 square meter room in open cases. Do not rush to spend money on closed cases if you do not have hot video cards. Maybe better ventilation. Heating problems only in summer, in winter, spring and autumn, ventilation is not required. |

Show your settings in Hive OS. 27 megahash is not a bad result for a beginner, because some of my rx580 video cards had problems with overclocking after 27 megahash, and the mining farm crashed. You can try to flash the BIOS by changing some timings. There is a lot of information about this on YouTube or use the miner settings to increase the hashrate. |

At what price can you buy the RX 580s? " prices
night 1.11 ($0.018)
day 2.11( $0.035)
I don't think prices will go down anytime soon." https://miningclub.info/threads/po-kakoj-cene-mozhno-pokupat-rx-580-e.103134/Russia, Irkutsk. I wrote you electricity prices in dollars. A used 570 8 GB graphics card can be bought in bulk for $120. If you have such an electricity price, then the purchase will not be a mistake, but if you do not have such prices, then wait for the end of ethereum mining. Graphics cards price may not go down soon if after Ethereum merge other altcoins remains profitable to mine but if things get so bad and hopeless many more gpus will flood the market and miners will sell for cheaper price. The used video card 570 8 GB may drop the price, but what do you think, what is the price drop limit. I think not more than 80-100 dollars, so I say that at such prices you can buy these video cards for 120 dollars. I would leave part of the money for purchases after the end of ethereum mining, but if the prices are below $80, then the miners will not sell them. It will be more profitable for them to mine themselves if the electricity is inexpensive. |

The math in mining changes every day.
With an Ethereum price of $ 1,000, you have a profit of 60 cents, but you can sell coins when the price approaches ATH.And your profit will be 5 times more.
The math absolutely does change, but my point is that since I thought video card prices were too high in proportion to the fiat profit (profit fell by half, but GPU prices only fell by 5-10%), I decided to sell half my video cards while I could still get a decent price. The fiat profit matters because it influences GPU prices, even if I don't care about it myself. I will sit on the cash, then when GPUs are cheaper, use the cash to buy more cards than I sold.My priority is mining as much coin as possible during this crypto winter, therefore the # of cards does matter. If I buy video cards, it's for at least 3 years. Video cards can be called a reserve asset that brings a small profit. It is better to trade mined coins if you have experience and desire. If you have one or 2 mining farms at home, and you decide to sell them while profitable, then this may be a good solution. But if you bought a private house with a good energy tariff for mining, equipped it and sold video cards, then your investment will not work. In my country, such a house in the village can be bought for 10-15 thousand dollars with a tariff of 0.045 dollars per kilowatt. But the maximum consumption limit is 15 kilowatts. |

AI requires other graphics cards like Tesla and more expensive hardware. And the equipment that most miners have does not fit these tasks.
This is not true Nvidia RTX cards are perfect for AI, but the mining rig will need more than 4gb of memory, a larger hdd and a fast internet connection. Most miners are willing to work for a company that uses AI, but then why are they mining shitcoins with little profit? Do you think they don't have money for good internet, memory and a big hard drive? I heard that you need motherboards with pci-e X16 for each video card. But where can miners find these companies? |

What can R9 390 with 8GB memory do today? I can't find the graphic card on whattomine, any new algorithm that this old beast is still good for? Do you think have one of this old graphics card.
This video card mines ethereum well, about 27-30 megahash, but its real consumption from the wall is about 215-230 watts and it is very hot. After 15 days or more, I think it will not be relevant for mining even at a price of 5 cents per kilowatt. I sold these video cards a long time ago, before buying the RX 480 |

If I had my own crypto exchange, I would earn millions. When the ETHW coin trade opens, its price will quickly fall. You need to sell a lot of futures now, then sell a lot of coins before the start of the ETHW fork, but prevent other users from depositing coins. And then buy the right amount of coins at a cheap price.

I clean my video cards from dust a maximum of several times a year. Maybe I got bold?
It is probably better to buy a housing with a filter and clean or wash this filter at a longer interval.
Or don't buy hot video cards. All the same, I'm more inclined towards the option of a closed case with a filter, if the video cards have already been purchased.
