Only 4 mining cards in a machine...what would you choose?

If you could only run 4 cards in one of your machines...which card would you choose?


This would be for mining some of the usual suspects (ETC/ETH/ZEC/XMR)

Obviously you will get the most hash out of four Nvidia 1080Ti, but that it also at least $2800+ just in GPU's. A better hash/cost, lower power requirement/usage and quicker ROI would be to go with four 1070's if you can get them for $450 or less each.

either 1070 or 1080 they have both good too time and are good for small rig the 1080ti is good for very small setup like a gaming rig with just 2 gpu

The liquid cooled AMD R9 295 X2 can do ~65 - 70 MH/s each but use 300W. If you can pick up used cards and have good electric rates, they are another option to overpriced Nvidia 1080Ti's. Problem is they are going for 3x what they were going for used two months ago.
