Is it better deal to buy new GTX 1060 3gb for 240 EUR or used RX 480 8gb XFX GTR for 280 EUR??

I'm aware the prices are sky high now, but AMD gives better hash although its used and more expensive.
 

I will recommend buy geforce 1060 with 6 GB VRAM... thank me later.-

I like the 1070 8GB ...and the radeon rx580   BUT

          a-   The memory of the cards is important (elpida, samsung, etc) and make difference in MH
          b-   The brand and model too ...  for example, the MSI are very good cards but not all the models... some dont have good cooling etc...

Have a nice day!

Thank you all for your answers.

Is it even OK to buy now GPUs, since the prices dropped and profit is much lower than 1-2 months ago?

What do you think its good deal for a GTX 1060?
Is it better to grab 3gb version for 240eur or 6gb version for 290eur?

If you want density of the rigs, the nVidia 1080ti is the best. The dollar/hash is not too high.

Isn't it better to get 2 of 1060s for the same amount of money than one 1080ti?
Furthermore, 2 1060s are cheaper than one 1080ti and give more hash power.

Better to get 1060s if you can spare the PCIE slots on your MOBO. Just make sure you get the 6GB rather than the 3GB variant of the 1060. 3GB variants are at risk of being obsolete (at least for ETH mining) because of the DAG file size increase.
