GTX 1070 - What's the best coin to mine?

[leonix007]

i actually want to ask this question. in fact i build my PC for Gaming, but i want to mine if i can.
i have tried mining zcash with this graphic card , but i don't know how much profit i get, i never tried to mine 24 hour because i was worried if my graphic card are quickly demaged.

mining 24 hrs won't hurt that much on your GPU.

 

anyway is that zcash the best coin for mining with gtx 1070?
if i look in https://whattomine.com/ the best coin to mine with GTX 1070 right know is zencash with $2.49 profit?

Its an estimate and constantly changing depends on the difficulty and coin price. right now, probably yes

I've actually been bouncing around more lately because of a lot of the new coins and the fire that bitcoin has started.  Zcash is of course very good if you just want to keep it simple.  But look on the announcement page and check out some new coins.  There are still some new coins coming that aren't all premine or airdrop.

If Gtx 1070 have Samsung memory of course Eth. But if Gtx 1070 have hynix memory, then Zec better. I think.

I have both of them and all of my gtx 1070 give me 31Mh/s(eth) with overclock: Mem clock +600 and Core CLock -200

Three days ago I switched to the NiceHash and I chose to mine only CryptoNight.
With the four GTX 1070 my speed is ~2.50 kH/s. and the power consumption is ~400W.
After three days, my unpaid balance shows 0.003038 BTC.

The best coin for gtx 1070 it is Zencash for now. Of course, it depend every day, but we will wait for bitcoin gold and that will see prize.

Why would people use gaming GPU rather than those that are specifically developed for mining?
Thank you!

The re-sale value. For whatever reason you would like to sell your gpu, you have a market still interested in the gpu. After you mined if of course it will be worn down, but gamers can still use them and therefore still take advantage of them. But when a mining-only gpu worns down or its hashrate is not profitable anymore, no one will be interested in buying it second hand. It becomes useless and with no re-sale value. Also the guarantee of the mining-only gpus I've seen is very short, like 3 months or so.

If you don't use a gaming gpu for mining anymore you can still enjoy it's display benefits.
