Why is Ethereum actually the only cryptocurrency worth GPU mining?

[asrilani]

the real 390 competitor it's vega, the 490, not the 480, but since gpu do not scale in the right way with etheruem, i would not hold much hope for the 490 being the best card to get

The Vega was originally to be launched early next year, but that has been put forward. If there is big improvement over the 390, I might buy it.

It has HBM2, very wide bandwidth. It could be faster than the R9 390. But the price could be very high.

The price of the nVidia 1080 is about $900 at the moment. When the Vega comes out, it would be the similar price.

If you choose nvidia its worth of high amount than choosing amd.. better to buy amd its cheap price than intel nvidia.

I shall wait until the end of this month to see the performance of the AMD RX 480. If it is good, I might buy some.

 The Nano/Fury line also have very wide bandwidth HBM, yet they mine SLOWER than my 2 generation old R9 290 cards do.

 There's more to the issue than just wide bandwidth.

The PoW algorithm requires more random access of the memory, so the latency is more important than the bandwidth.

The price of Etheruem dropped a lot recently, the difficulty also rises fast. It might not be so profitable to mine in the future.

The price of Etheruem dropped a lot recently, the difficulty also rises fast. It might not be so profitable to mine in the future.

that is your opinion. But some miners do not agree. They are adding more hashing power to the network now.

The miners ordered the graphics cards and other components before the drop, they had to assemble the mine any way.

Ain't heard of returns?

It seems they did not return. So it seems that they are the believers of the Ethereum and think they can make profit by mining.

The network hashing is around 4250 GH/s at the moment. So the miners are still building new rigs.

The difficulty is rising and the price is dropping. So maybe in two months time, it will be not profitable to mine.

[adaseb]

It will only get worse since Antminers won't be profitable anymore and people will buy GPUs instead.

those are chinese or someone else with 0.05 electricity, remember that those folks can keep mining until everything is dead basically

In theory I will mine 22 eth coins in the next month making about 220 usd  my power at 18 cents summer rate will be 110

thus a 110 profit.  eth coin will get a new price pump from both nvidia and from amd as both companies can buy eth coins to pump price as a form of advertising .


every new rig

psu       = so all psu ,companies, seasonic ,corsair, rosewill, thermaltake, silverstone, evga
cpu       =  intel + amd,
gpu       =  nvidia + amd
hdd/ssd = drive builders Seagate western digital samsung sandisk
ram       = ram builders  micron samsung hynix

so all of the above make money if eth coin sticks around.  and that list is incomplete.

I see an eth coin price rally coming.

If you feel a rally is coming it's better just to buy coins. Looking pretty grim right now though.

do you think gpu mining has that much of an impact in the bigger custom build pc game?

what percentage of newly built rigs with new parts are for miners do you think? cards are always replaced of course but the rest of the rig?

myself, i just reused an old core 2 rig from my btc gpu days for 2 cards, plus stuck one card in my daily driver to take advantage of games and the fact its on 24/7 anyway. but of course im just a "hobby" miner in it for fun, not like you and others having, well, even more fun

The difficulty of the Ethereum mining is rising very fast. It means there are many farms, They could be unprofitable after the price drop.

The difficulty now is similar to 4 days ago. It seems the hashing rate rise is having a pause at the moment.

The difficulty level is rising again. It is a new all time high. So the Ethereum mining community is very confident.

[Zaducis]

I heard the SIAcoin is most profitable to mine at the moment. But the Etheruem difficulty  is still rising.
