Which GPU to purchase with $200 for Ethereum mining?

From the information we gathered so far from the 480 RX mining ,it seems that 470 RX could be good for Eth mining.

If the 470 memory can be overclocked to 2250MHz or higher, its performance could match that of the 480.

That could be true as the memory speed is the bottle neck for the 480. But when the 470 is available, it might not be profitable to mine.

If the mining difficulty is just 40% more than now, it is still profitable to mine, but the margin is very tight.

After the price of Ethereum dopped below $10, it will be unprofit for me to me with 7970 next month.

Forget everything about the AMD cards, the 1060 will enter on July 19th in thr ring and will break everything ! I say that even if I'm an hard AMD defender, but what I saw a few minutes ago made me change my mind, at least until AMD do something better !

please explain what did you see,
what about hash speed / power ?
I used to be nvidia fan, till iv switched most of my cards to r9 280x ,sold many off them when gpu mining was bleeding out..but right now im looking for a fresh stuff!

not sure the 480 can do 24MH with 100w with some tweak, it's impossible for the 1060 to do better, only the 1070 is better in efficiency

but since not only etheruem count anymore, the 1060 might be better in other algo

i get 24mh for 1 card 47 mh for 2 cards

I get  275 watts for entire system  cards ram cpu ssd case fans,

my system pull 71 watts with no mining and 275 watts with 2 cards.

you need to factor 10w in those 71, for those two gpu, so they are doing 110w at full speed when mining

From the performance we see from the AMD RX 480 in the Ethereum mining, the RX470 could be a good card.

etheruem is not the top notch anymore, it does not matter how they are good on etheruem if they are shit on other algo

That is right. Maybe it is time to buy the nVidia cards. It seems the 1070 is better than 480 in most algorithms.

Or maybe we shall wait for the 490X or the 490. But by the time they appear, there will be little profit in mining.

I think the AMD RX 470 could be a good card for the Etheruem mining as long as the memory width is 256 bit.

not better than the 480 already, scaling between the two should be very akin, so i see now point in buying one unless you want a low budget build

The 470 has few cores so that it can save some power consumption as there is no need for the 2300 cores.

The 470 is good for the ethereum mining. But it is not good for other algorithms. The ETh mining will stop within a year.

That is right. It is difficult to decide if we should invest in mining now. The hashing rate is too high at present.

If you do not have existing graphics cards, it is better not to buy new ones now unless you have very cheap electricity price.
