That's a good 480, the best is the XFX RX480 GTR The GTR has a higher quality cooler, and has a custom PCB. It will overclock a little better and run cooler, but not the end of the world of you have the RS model. Personally I would buy a RX470, that being said I do like the 480's so that's what I got.

Sapphire is my primary go-to brand, but the Nitro is overpriced for the performance on mining. I just wish their blower-type RX 470 model wasn't a backplate design.

The AMD is better then the 980ti at mining. p.s. SLI or crossfire are useless in mining, but you can mine with multiple GPU

The new RX 580 Series will have a 6+8 Pin power connector. This is going to be a problem to connect to most PSU's. Thats 6x6 pin + 6x8 pin connectors. Which PSU has those? My favourite HX1200W and Evga G2 1300W cant connect that many cards... EDIT: Evga G2 1300W can in fact connect those. Anyway, be carefull if ur buying PSU's for the RX 580 rigs

With that electric price, go for a 480. 460s are crap at mining.

Brandwise, Sapphire is quality and performance king.
I wont touch xfx since they started making voltage not modifiable then pasting on their boxes that voltage IS modifiable
Asus builds nice but I dont like their custom software

XFX has some cards which you can modify the voltage.

Does anybody know what the
ATI Sapphire 16GB AMD FirePro S9150
Will do with mining an altcoin?
I can't find it anywhere, but it's very expensive......not a guarantee for good mining results?

Next time, go for RX 470 or 480. These two are the best, you would have been getting a good hashrate with these two. RX 460s are not good at all in mining. But hey, you've very cheap electricity!

Me and my friends have gonne for the Sapphire Nitro+ 8GB RX 480 as from our tests it is the most efficient card on the planet for mining in a budget up to 300 Euro per card. You cannot find a better deal as a GPU for mining at this price. I think it will continue to be so even after some time as the RX 500 series looks its only a re brand and just a bit higher clock speed, not much improvements.

That is right. The 5xx should be similar to 4xx.

I have 1 RX 460 4gb.
I first tried mining GRS with easy miner, using dwarf pool. I saw my worker on their site, and was accepting blocks. I mined for 4 hours and received no coins.
Then i tried MININGPOOLHUB next with SG miner
I saw my hash rate on the website (6 mh, very low) and I saw some potential coins ive earned. I mined for like 3 hours, still no coins in my electrum wallet.
Today i check site and my potential coins are gone and no coins in wallet. I triple checked my wallet address.
What am I doing wrong?
