Question about new miner

[Rami84]

Hello everyone,
I new in the mining thing and want to ask you if these computers:  Dell precision 690 workstation OR HP WORKSTATION Z600 able to run 2or3 Rx 470 cards for mining ETH Or Zcash? because it is available for me at a cheap prices (Dell=$120 & HP=$200) used of course
Thanks in advance

You gotta build a computer using custom parts for mining.

Should cost you similar and you will be able to have 6 GPUs in one motherboard.

Thanks for your reply
Which hardware do you recommend?

Nvidia gives the best results for zcash. You can use that for ETH as well

Pretty too much wrong suggestion. AMD is far better than Nvidia, and consumes way less power than Nvidia as well. With an exception of 1070, all other models of Nvidia are nothing but wastage of money for the mining.

In case of zcash, the nicehash pool miner performs far better on NVIDIA than AMD. Initially they had a bit of a problem, but later rectified it to give almost twice as many H/s as AMD

But I just think if AMD is still better than NVIDIA which be able for mine the other coin than zcash. Mostly people was saying if AMD is better for mining various altcoins.
If you are want to build your mining rig just for zcash or in nicehash, you can follow your heart, but if you wanna for use the mining rig for the long term, I guess AMD better.

As much as I like my 1070s, for almost every GPU-mineable coin out there the AMX RX series blows away the GTX 1070 on hash/$ and is usually a tossup at worst on hash/watt.

 I only mine stuff like ETH and ZEC with my 1070s 'cause I was going to buy them ANYWAY and the ETH / ZEC mining has been somewhat more profitable most of the time since I started building my 1070-based machines.


 There are a few exception but none of those right now are matching ETH or ZEC profitability (though XMR is close sometimes).



 Best AMD-miner for ZCash is giving 30-50% higher sol/s on the RX 480 then the best NVidia-based ZCash miner on the 1070, similar power usage/hash, but the RX 480 is a lot less $$$.
 The NiceHash miner is WAY behind the curve on the AMD side.
