Best GPU's For Mining?

so it seems that the new 470 is better than the 480? same bus but less consumption

It depends on what is the limiting factor. If the memory bus is very fast, you need the 480, if it is slow, you only need 470.

From the information from early miners of the 480 RX, the memory is the limiting factor, the core frequeny does not matter much.

There is no best GPU for mining, only altcoin with enough market cap that is mined by GPU in decent rate, atm that is ethereum which hold at least ~70% of GPU mining altcoins, if that fall profitability in instant would go to zero

and depending what algo for mining that coin use you chose the GPU

I think the Ethereum holds at least 80% of all the GPU mining power. It will soon by 90% in the near future.

There are roughly 150'000 Gpu's mining ethereum at the moment.

If the hash rate increases like it did not in the past, in 4 months, there will be 600,000 GPUs to do the hashing.

At the current rate of rise, in 4 months, most miners will be not profitable. So most of them are confident the price will rise.

same old, same old... The litecoin boom (and bitcoin obviously) followed the same pattern, people notice it is still profitable to mine, lots of people join, profit naturally drops. Only thing I see is different now is that profits where a lot higher then and dropped faster, now profitable mining lasted surprisingly long but profit was a lot lower also. Tells me something about what will come in the next wave, a year or two from now, less profit, less fluctuation. Any thoughts? Am I perhaps way out there in my prediction?

I think you're dead on. Also this time we KNOW that mining will end when they attempt to move to PoS which has actually kept the difficulty from rising faster IMO. The bust is going to be ugly, lots of cheap GPU's for gamers is my prediction.

+1 for stay away chinese usb riser on ebay. I bought 5 and more than 50% of them are not working...

I had the same problem in the past, Amazon is actually much better since you can read reviews.  Ebay is more of a gamble.
Gpushack which made ethos sells risers, I never puchased them but I'd trust them more than chinese sellers on Ebay

I definitely believe that. 470 is gonna be much better than 480 for GPU mining, with less than 50 watts of power consumption. 480 hasn't proved much to be too good for mining, but I'm pretty positive for the 470 and would definitely wait for it to arrive here at my place.

It depends on the memory frequency of the 470, if it is the same as that of the 480, then it is good for mining.

hello, i need help, how i can undervolt my amd rig card?? i have one r9 290x 8gb, one r9 380 2 gb and one r7 370 2gb...

where a find good modded bios for flashing it? or where i can find good support for guide me to flash it?

thanks for help me

If you use the Windows, you can use the MSI afterburner and the Sapphire Trixx. Both are good, the former is more popular.

thanks, but what are the best setting for mining eth?

In terms of reaching your ROI back the 7950s  are good with an average of 17MH/s per gpu it beats its power consumption with its mined cryptocurrency. Its hard to find a new one, also be careful when looking for a refurbished one. Test it out first before buying it.

The power consumption of the 7950 is too high. If you pay $0.2 /kWh, you will not ROI due to the increase in difficulty.

If that's true why do people still prefer the 7950s rather than the R9 280X? It's even hard to find a new one. Your best bet is to find a refurbished model in the market. Also from what I heard 7950s ran quiter than the other models.

For my set up, I found the 7970 are faster than the 7950. I would rather have 7970 instead of 7950.

Yes 7970s are obviously faster than 7950s , but in terms of Hash Rate to Power Consumption. You will still profit more in 7950s rather than the 70s. Not an opinion it is a fact. But good for you if you ar making a profit with your gpu. After all is all were after.
