Sapphire Rx470 4gb

[yrtrnc]

Hey

I wanna start mining ethereum is Sapphire Rx470 4gb a good card? Will 4gb memory be enough in the future?

What's the best mobo for it and what kind of power supply etc will I need.

Thank you

The consumption for this card is pretty good. I have tested both Rx 470 and Rx 480 and got 120W for 470 and 160W for 480 card. I have used 8GB cards both. The hashrate was good for both of them.
Power supply I would recommend Segotep gp1350g, you can use this for 6 cards without problems.

A good rig:
Motherboard: Asus Prime Z270-A
Ram: Ripjaws 8Gb 2133MHz
Processor: Intel Pentium G4400
SSD 120GB
Risers: Version 7 (6 pin to sata. Safer than the molex)
Gpu: MSI RX 580 Gaming X 8Gb
Power Supply: Segotep gp1350g

Cheers mate. Good stuff.
What about the cards being 4 gig? Will that be a problem in the near future?

The speed will decrease on every new DAG, but by the you won't be able to mine with 4gig ETH will be POS already.

Hi thanks

What is POS?

There are quite a few Sapphire "470 4GB" models - but they are going to perform fairly close for mining.

They're all good choices when you can get them for a reasonable price - and if you already have the card, might as well use it!

I don't know the price of this gpu in others countries, here,  400 series almost doubled the price in a few months. Maybe with those rumors about mining gpus, the price will back to normal.

 The mining GPUs are starting to ship - but it's going to take a while for them to have a major impact on pricing.

 They DO seem to be reducing some of the stress on GTX 1070 pricing though.

Maybe with the announcement of the release date, we will see prices fall.
Apparently they will remain high for some time.

Hey Dude,

take my advise - you are too late, to get into the game now.

 

[yrtrnc]

What's your reasoning?

Thank you
