MSI 8 GB GTX 1080

Can only say few words about the two above: don't go for 1080, choose either 1070 or 1080ti. Besides, check exactly which model of these cards you're buying, same brand 1070's, for example, may have 4-5 models all varying in clock speeds => mining efficiency.

Are those GTX 1080 really that bad? Because price-wise I can buy 1070 for $520, 1080 for $575 and 1080Ti for $825.

Do a bit of research and see yourself, plenty of hashrate data is around. 1080 and 1080ti use gddr5x memory, that's where the key is. You'll be paying 10% more over 1070 for 3-5% hashrate increase  in case of 1080. Not worth it IMHO. And again, check clock speeds before you buy.

Well 470/480 are mostly out of stock here, same for 570/580. But in local shops there are price starting $300 for 570 and $350 for 580.

i am getting used rx 470 4 gb for $150 each with 6 in stock
and same price for rx 480 but they are only 2 in stock

What do you suggest me to do, should i buy 470 x 8 cards and make a rig or rx 480 x 2 along with rx 470 x 6?

Well if I was you, I would just take as many those cards as you can for that price. There should be no problem mixing 470/480 in one rig. I am running 7x 480 in one rig, and 4x 570 + 2x 580 in second. Had no problems installing those rigs, using blockchain drivers (those non-official leaked, from robinhood).

Ok, i saw  on a website that 480 8 GB takes 150 watts and on another website it says RX 470 4 GB requires 500 watt power supply. Just want to confirm how much power Gigabyte RX 470 4GB takes?

Its depending on your PSU effeciency, GPU clock, model, quality, voltage, bios, algo and luck Cheesy

My 1st rig 7x MSI 480 gaming 4g takes 1070W when dualminig 207mhs eth + 5850 decred.
2nd 4x Sapphire PULSE 570 4g + 2x Sapphire PULSE 580 4g takes  930W when dualing 170 mhs eth + 4580 decred.

So if you are going to dualmine, you can count with ~130-150W card

The best long term mining GPU are nVidia and the best of the best is GTX 1070 :
 - No DAG problem with ethereum and ethereum like,
 - Less consumption : when the AMD will lost your money, you will still earn money with your investment.
 - Less consumption, less electicity cost, better ROI.
 - Less consumption, biggest life,
 - Less consumption, less warm (not big cooling systems)
 - Less consumption, less noise.
 - Better performance in gaming equal better price when you will sold it at the end of it's mining life

thanks for analysis, how much watt Gigabyte RX 470 4 GB take while mining Ethereum?

I would prefer GTX 1070 but they are 3 times expensive and ROI period is longer in such volatile crypto market.

Even GTX 1080 which i am getting at better price MSI 8 GB GTX 1080 for $250 its still going to take more than 6 months for ROI.

I think you're missing one very important thing here. With AMD you're pretty much limited to ETH based coins, these cards suck on most other algorythms.

Are those GTX 1080 really that bad? Because price-wise I can buy 1070 for $520, 1080 for $575 and 1080Ti for $825.

take Asus Strix 1080ti or EVGA Hybrid
those cards are the BEASTS  -they are cold and can easily be overclocked to run about 2000Mh @85-90PL
and, most important, they are delivering almost TWICE performance of single 1070, but with LESS cost then two 1070

let's take your prices, for example, two 1070 will cost you about $1040, while one 1080ti with almost same performance as two 1070 will cost $825.
now you see which one is better, and one more thing if you choose to build 6-7pcs of cards, you will save on CPU, RAM, SSD, mainboard and so on in case if you go for 1080 ti, cause for the same performance of 6x 1080 you'll need two times more ram, cpus, ssd and so on, cause it would be 2 rigs instead of one.

so I'm voting for 1080ti   Cool

No offence mate but it looks like you were answered your questions above but you keep asking them over again. And I agree with ivakar here, 1080ti rules, then 1070 comes next after it.

Whattomine will help you out. Equihash, NIST5, Skunk, Tribus algos are good to look at. No idea of power consumption of 1080, I run TI's.

Forgive me for interrupting but could you guys advise on what particupar 1070s and 1080TIs to look at? I know Zotac Amp Extreme are amongst the best, but what are other options in terms of clock?

MSI 11 GB   NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti
ROI per nicehash : 9 months

MSI 8 GB GTX 1080
ROI per nicehash : 6 months

1st I choose this MSI GTX 1080 TI GAMING X Video Graphic Cards but this is expensive the price is $824.99 but this is worth it for work in mining and others, the specs are Chipset: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, Video Memory: 11GB GDDR5X, Memory Interface: 352-bit, Max. Resolution: Support 4x Display Monitors, Input: 2x 8pin PCI-E Power Connectors.

secondly I choose MSI Gaming GeForce GTX 1080 8GB GDDR5X SL VR Ready Graphics Card (GTX 1080 GAMING X 8G) also expensive but still worth it for use but the first below than this is lowest price $579.89 and the specs of this are , Chipset: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080, Video Memory: 8GB GDDR5X, Max. Resolution: 7680 x 4320, support 4x Display monitors ,Input: 1x 6Pin PCI-E power connector, 1x 8Pin PCI-E power connector, output: DVI-D Dual Link, HDMI, 3x DisplayPort's, 500W system power supply requirement; 180W power consumption those two are expensive but still worth it for the others purpose of the mining

Take a look here, there's a list at the bottom of the page. You can sort it by whatever parameter you want.  https://www.techpowerup.com/gpudb/b4356/zotac-gtx-1080-ti-amp-extreme

Forgive me for interrupting but could you guys advise on what particupar 1070s and 1080TIs to look at? I know Zotac Amp Extreme are amongst the best, but what are other options in terms of clock?

Take a look here, there's a list at the bottom of the page. You can sort it by whatever parameter you want.  https://www.techpowerup.com/gpudb/b4356/zotac-gtx-1080-ti-amp-extreme

Wow cool, thanks a lot!

Thanks all of you, but i still have this question in mind.

Do you guys look at ROI period while ranking 1080Ti at top? as per my cost calculation its 8 months at earliest for a 1080Ti to breakeven and keeping in view of volatility of market it could go up to 12 months on other hand 1080 is 5 months ROI period and AMDs are 4 months payback.

Whats your reason for still voting for 1080ti when you know its ROI period is so long?

In some algos like nist5, skein, equihash, aftermarket 1080ti perform like a beast. the core count is huge, so even if more algo comes out in future, it will be beast for few years. 3584 cores running at 2.0 GHz and 11 GB GDDR5x with 352-bit memory bus.

ROI floats alot and I don't consider it anymore, if you want quick ROI buy 1050ti/1060 and you get your money back in 4-6 months (as of today). Anything less than 2 years I'm fine with, actually - not only I run best cards in terms of productivity they are also very easy to sell ones even after 3-4 years, provided you look after them and run them right. Besides, having 1 12x1080ti rig beats the hell out of having 3-4 rigs of low tier cards space and power wise.

Got it.

1. What do you mine with 12x1080ti and whats the power consumption and profits for this rig?

2. Can you share the other accessories used in your mining rig as it could help me in building one

thanks.  Smiley

Currently I'm on ZEN getting ready for their masternodes, but usually it almost every new coin I like to mine and stash, you never know if it shoots high. Yes I'm a shitcoin collector in a sense Smiley

Hardware wise you'll need either Asrock 110 Pro BTC (up to 13 cards), or Biostar TB250 Pro BTC motherboard, there's also a new Asus one but I don't have details of it yet. Biostar was reported to have some issues with reliability. i3 for CPU, 8-16gb RAM, 128GB SSD/HDD, 2x1600 or 3x850W platinum/titanium rated power supplies, Simple Mining or ETHOS operating system (Unix based, you can't run all of them under windows).

And to comment on your last post, I'd say again, don't choose 1080, but I guess you already have made a decision, besides $250 is really cheap for them. Good luck anyway.

Whats the coin requirement for ZEN masternode?

I value your opinion but i have limited budget, will see what i can buy. If funds was not a problem i would go for 1080ti

42 for 1, but you also need a UNIX VPS and a bit of knowledge to set it up.

MSI 11 GB   NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti
ROI per nicehash : 9 months

MSI 8 GB GTX 1080
ROI per nicehash : 6 months

1st I choose this MSI GTX 1080 TI GAMING X Video Graphic Cards but this is expensive the price is $824.99 but this is worth it for work in mining and others, the specs are Chipset: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, Video Memory: 11GB GDDR5X, Memory Interface: 352-bit, Max. Resolution: Support 4x Display Monitors, Input: 2x 8pin PCI-E Power Connectors.

secondly I choose MSI Gaming GeForce GTX 1080 8GB GDDR5X SL VR Ready Graphics Card (GTX 1080 GAMING X 8G) also expensive but still worth it for use but the first below than this is lowest price $579.89 and the specs of this are , Chipset: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080, Video Memory: 8GB GDDR5X, Max. Resolution: 7680 x 4320, support 4x Display monitors ,Input: 1x 6Pin PCI-E power connector, 1x 8Pin PCI-E power connector, output: DVI-D Dual Link, HDMI, 3x DisplayPort's, 500W system power supply requirement; 180W power consumption those two are expensive but still worth it for the others purpose of the mining

I would go Nvidia all they way as well. They are better manufactured and last longer.
All being said the whole scene will change once AMD and Nvidia bring out their mining only GPU's

Did some research and found that 3.5% of the mining reward to the owners of ZenCash Secure nodes, as you are running a node can you share whats the daily reward you get for a single secure node?

Thanks.
