Which graphics card - vanilla or mining edition - GTX1060/1050 versus RX470

Copy and paste a strap and flash a bios is hard?

My god...

Go for the 570 cards, those are the best ones, if you have more money get the RX 580, are really cheap right now, SAPPHIRE and MSI ones are the best of all.

It's not hard, just more work. Also if you want optimal settings coping straps will not do it. I found the RX 570 to have a better efficiency compared to the RX 580 - but again it all depends on your energy costs.

Interesting, so u reckon the strap copying is not just it? there is actually more stuff to mod before u really do see a jump of a few megahashes.
Cause i could never understand this, i watch some you tube video of a Russian dude and get gets like 28 mega hashes from a strap copy only with Samsung memory , same as me, i just dont get it
i tried it and i got like 1-2 increase.

so Swiss cheese guy, what do u think about this find?
Would u okay these card?

You need custom timing for optimal performance.

It was already all said, with a GTX1060 3GB you will not be able to mine ETH alike coins soonish. But the GTX1060 3GB has a very good price/performance ratio for equihash.

So u reckon still the GTX 1060 is as good as an RX470... if it were a little less in price it may be because of the memory from 4Gb to 3GB, right?
Soonish as in next year , so i am happy with that, i dont see ETH Dag being more than 4GB this year or early next year still as it is said in articles, right ?

Of the 3 cards i listed above , which would you take?

For ETH the RX 470 will be better. There is simply no overall better rating - it all comes down to what you want to mine, your electricity costs and your budget.

Undervolted 1060 run cold, no need for dual fans. 4GB Rx 4 are a bit risky now as you can get only used. Rx mining edition is kinda OK as it still has one output, 1060 mining edition are horrid as you can't use it to play games in a pinch.

Yeh cause i can get these cheaper 1 fan GTX1060 cards, i mean it can save me some petrol money , so why not?
As long as they are not useless?
I mean i dont understand why they are small boards and then 1 fan only? does this mean the cards dont perform well do they didnt need to make them larger and have 2 fans?
