GTX 1080 vs Radeon rx 570

[kiskivancsi]

Hey all
I'm building my first rig but I can't dicide between GPU's. Where I live I can get 4 GTX 1080 or 8 RX 570 for about the same price. (about 2250$)
I already got all the other components, only missing the cards. According to whattomine the profit seems to be almost equal with both setup.
Wich option should I choose and why? Thanks in advance for any advice.

if you want density you can go with gtx1080
if you want to mine eth and cryptonite coins at the best speeds go with rx570
you can even dual mine with rx570 dont forget that

Never did like the 1080 due to its memory. And at $562 a piece I'd pass on that.

I would only consider a 1080 at less than $500 each.

Otherwise a 1070Ti is going to do better for you overall. Are those available to you ?

If you have $2250 strictly to cards, think about 1070s/1070 tis. If you can get them for a cheap price, you'll get huge resell potential and really good performance / watt.
