20K investment in equipment

[papasmurf1337]

Folks, if you would invest 20K USD in GPUs, what would you buy?

I prefer NVIDIA cards.

Some people say 1060 3gb is best ROI, some say 1070 and someone 1080ti ...
If we consider of long time investment and better quallity of work, what would you buy?

me i would go with both brands actually a mix .. as both good and a combination will work best .. As right now i can see good coin to mine will be moneoro , zcash and eth but eth and zcash is quite high difficultly so better will be mine using gpu will be monero and for the best for monero would be amd

[Ayers]

1060 is shit better to buy 1080ti or 1070, 1080ti offer very good density if you want many rig you save on other small components, 1070 is the best one the best compromise

NVidia GTX 1070 are the best choice, with the best ratio ROI.
If you want extra pleasure with hardware, you can buy also some GTX 1080 : the ROI is not so good than GTX 1070, but you have the possibility to play with a SLI, after mining is over, even in 2 or 3 years.

GTX 1060 is all Hynix memory now

1070 at $430 for a good one vs 8GB AMD 580 for $300 ?

I would go the 580 route, save 100 per card so you get a free one every three you order compared to the 1070, plus 580s can be tuned to use lower power and are great for dual mining DCR

i.e eth 29 or ETC 29mhs and DCR like 900 for 150 watts will beat out a 1070 for ROI

mixing brands is a horrible idea expecially if all the brands have different clocks for the memory and core, that's good way to fuck shit up and honestly horrible information to be passing onto someone looking to invest
no the only way to go is get one brand for that rig to reduce the possibility of problems that could arise from having mix branded NVidia gpus
NO GPU IS MADE THE SAME, unless its a specific model, btw 1070s are great I have 6 of them mining for me brand evga, 1060's are too slow sure there power efficient but there slow as hell, last I checked were all here to make money, power efficiency is only secondary for most people, if you gotta sacrifice hashing speed for power efficiency that's a no go, honestly kinda like taking a step backwards

[Smoikata]

NVIDIA 1070 is a pretty good decision. There is a high hash rate and a low electricity cost.

[joshuajones02]

1080 ti is the way to go if you are trying to save space

[juvx]

Yeah like its been said, either 1070 or 1080TI.

Vega 64 is a good option for XMR but uses a ton of power.

[Za1n]

First off I do not think investing $20K into GPU mining right now is the best investment. Basically high hardware costs and super high network difficulty's for most of the profitable coins are going to make ROIs very hard to come by unless all the coins double in value within the next 6 months.  In that event you would still be better off buying the coins directly and earning 2x profit versus maybe earning back half your investment in mining.

With that said, if you are still intent on mining I would agree with the others who mentioned going for the Nvidia 1080Ti cards, as they offer the highest performance and you can get the density you need in fewer rigs. For $20K you should be able to build around four 1080Ti - 6 GPU rigs which should get you pretty good performance at a competitive power efficiency, which you will need as the mining environment becomes more saturated.

All GTX 1070 are good and the mid price is not $430 but $350.
And the forumeur wrote "I prefer nVidia cards"... and he's right : AMD sucks and need a lot of electricity power/cooling.

350 for a 1070 are u off your rocker ? not for a NEW one maybe USED !  and Not all are good , the cheap single slot ITX ones run hotter and slower
thank the EVGA, gigabyte or even ASUS dual or tripple fan models.

Yes I concur alot of bad info here , lol 20k and they want you to buy 1080TIs ?

would you rather have six rigs or four ? , 1080TI were a good buy when they were $600 for $750 I'll pass an load up on cheaper models that will make you MORE money

[antantti]

20k to crypto? I would wait.

If you can't wait and NEED to buy new gpu's I would go half/half 1070/vega56.

Sadly nvidia is not making 2xgpu cards anymore, 2x1070 would be a killer. Or 1080ti without that shit memory.

[Marvell2]

Speak of the Devil just got in six new Rx 570 saphire nitros 8GB paid 275 for them

the mine eth at 31mhs DCR at 850 and only consume 130 watts

lol and you want him to grab a $400 or 700 card when he can load up on these ? smh  

Even with best power limit mining ZEC my 1070s still use up 110watts.  Yeah they have better temps vrms seem cooler but power is power.

In a week these RX cards will probably be back to $249 for 8GB versions , best believe i will be buying a ton.

If i was sat in the UK, which I am. With £20,000 burning my pocket. Id set bitmain.com as my homepage.

That much cash? Gotta go ASIC

yeah ASICs are better right now anways but you need 240V for sure and lots of power

OP was asking how to spend 20k on gpu's.

Actually not hard to get gtx 1070 at the price $350 - $390 on amazon.com... not always, but if you closely monitor all the brands and models, there are always offers almost every day...
what i am wondering is that where would people get 8GB AMD 580 for $300 nowadays?

And also, i don;t think 1070 has better ROI than gtx 1060 3GB - you can get 1060 at $200 and mine zcash a 300 sol with 70w power consumption

asics are a crapshoot, they would never get there roi, and theres the price of said asic for a decent one your going to pay way more than what you would spend on gpus and that asic can mine one algo compare to a gpu which can mine any algo

[Qunenin]

Not much you can do at this point. If you don't think it's going to work out and the fact is it's not going to work out. The best thing you could do is to start sell the equipment off. That is what most of these places and up doing. The only other option that you have is to grow the recourse of setting up a cloud mining company and that has about a 50% chance of failure.

I only buy my gpu from new egg, amazon i always pay taxes so its not worth it for me
the 580 8gb are quite common , actually they are going lower
