Hi
The following is my rig:
VGA: 3 x Asus rx 480 8gb - no mod
Mobo: Asus Z170
currently, i am getting around 25 MH from each card for ether and around 300 sol for zcash
I keep switching from ether to zcash and from zcash to ether every 48 hours.
Do you think that this is a good idea? or i should keep mining ether until they switch to PoS?
What other coins can i mine with my rig?
thanks in advance.

Only you can answer that question. It really comes down to what do you think would be worth more?
My money is on ETH.

For the 480, it is better to run the ETH. It is generally more profitable. |

I think this way if zec price rise my earnings will rise too How about dual mining eth with sia? Cryptocompare says it will be profitable |

Dual mining usually takes significantly more power. Just be sure that your risers and power supplies are up to the job.

Mining strategies are a dime a dozen and what works for one will not work for another. I prefer to mine the stable and solid. http://whattomine.com/coinsThat website sure helps. |

You gotta hack those bios memory straps and you'll get 31MH/s and you also gotta dual mine with SIA.
Don't mine ZEC with that GPU.

Thanks all for sharing their thoughts.
@iamnoobplzhelp
My power Corsair AX 1500 and my cards are seated on the mobo directly.
@TimeTeller
Thank you for sharing that
@adaseb
why shouldn't i mine ZEC ? i am seeing good progress on it
I am dual mining ETH+SIA and i'm afraid to touch my bios cause i don't want to void the cards warranty.

haha thats what i thought right away when i saw "25mh/s" too  @OP you REALLY wanna mod those bios' and undervolt, you will see big improvement not only in hash but using less watts as well!  You dont wanna mine Zcash because it's Nvidia dominated, there's really no point and more profitable things to mine for your specific card Usually ETH, its so damn high in price! haha Also play the smaller daggercoins you can make more as well Dual mining causes more heat and wear and tear than its worth basically (most people, i included feel) |

I'll stop mining ZEC and dual to see if there would be any changes in my avg 24 hrs For other daggercoins you mean EXP, UBQ? |

And on some GPUs they offer firmware upgrades also. |
