GTX 1080 or GTX 1070 ?

[business360]

I have a great deal to buy 10 - gtx 1080 at 539$ a piece brand new, another deal for 10 gtx 1070 at 459$ a piece.
I need some advice from people who own rigs of nvidia. Which one of these 2 would you buy and Does it worth to invest 5.5k in this deal ?
Thanks in advance!

I do go with 1070, I think you ll get faster ROI with them. Is it worth it? Well, it all depends on your power price. With all these new GPUs designed only for mining getting out, without DVI exit, combined with falling alt prices, which will probably continue thought the summer, mining profits will continue to shrink.

If you have high electricity price and no resell option, you might have a problem. Otherwise, go for it.

You need to decide what are you going to do with them after if all go to hell. I'd say go with the 1080, for now mine equihash, if that goes to hell too then sell them later before volta cause if you take too long to resell them then you will not find a good price for them.

The GTX 1070's are overpriced for a quantity purchase.  Last two I bought a couple days ago were $404 each.  Just watch for deals and inventory.

Between the two though, I would probably do the 1070's even at that price.  10x 1070's should net minimum $50 a day so your looking at 110 days to ROI max.

The price for 1080 is really good, i might be able to negotiate a little if i buy more.
Is there a difference in hash rate between these 2 models 1080 ?:

I did a quick test with 1070 and 1080 with nicehash miner and 1080 seems to perform better by about 1.50$/day. Anyone experienced the same ?
Thanks in advance!

i would also check the price you get for 1080ti - it's from Sol/$ MH/$ like the 1070 but you need less of them - if you can get a good 1080TI (e.g. MSI X Version) for ~ $ 700 i would go for that.

i dont think 1080/s are worth it ... u get for 700 usd almost 2 1070s and the hasrate for the 1080 isnt almost doubled i think its something like 600-700sol/s on ZCash where 1070s has 400-500sol/s

I was doing 660 sols yesterday on NiceHash. I have the Asus GTX 1080 Ti STRIX.

Is that still accurate?
I'm doing 68.916 MHS on Lyra2REv2 NiceHash right now with my GTX 1080 Ti.

For the price you listed, the gtx 1080 has no competition.

Things must be rough where you live if you consider $540 for a 1080 and $460 for a 1070 a great deal. You could buy two of the RX 470 4GB mining cards for $500 or the gaming RX 570 4GB cards for less than that, if you can find them and get roughly 20-30% more hashrate for the same price.

[business360]

I'll go for 1080 in bulk. Right now i have msi godlike carbon motherboard and it has only 5 pci-e slots. I have good deal to buy another godlike carbon motherboard but i want to ask you first, is it a good motherboard for setting a rig ? also some suggestions for gpu raiser ?

RX 470 8 gb price is 220 eur
and hashrate is up from GTX 1080

Gtx 1080 each day is more expensive,but 1080ti is better.

I would buy the 1070 cards, GDDR5 is better than GDDR5X memories for mining due to the low latency times.

And I wouldn't face this as an investment, this is a hobby.

Gtx 1080 certainly has the latest technology, but you must see in terms of needs and also your ability. I think the latest technology definitely has a much better feature. Investing money is certainly a difficult thing, you should be able to think about when the ROI will occur and what coin you will be mining. Whether the coin has a good prospect or not. So consider everything before you regret having spent a lot of money.

That is a high end lga 2011 v3 motherboard, x99 series have enough pci-e lanes, 5 gpu's will definitely work. About the riser, get any 6 version.

first of all you should be able to get some RX 470 8 gb which are on stock and sold at this price and what will you do with that cards in few weeks when they lose 30% hash power on ETH? going to one of the few alt-currencies (where for sure none of the other AMD miners will go to shred the profit there)?

I would go for 1070 if I were you. They have the same Ethereum power for a lower price.
