Mining GPU

[Rom232]

hello guys i'm  new miner and i want to ask if i don't have problem with electricity because i'm using photovoltaics which GPU is better for me? i'm looking for r9 295x2 8gb is good? thanks !

Not familiar w/ that card (looks interesting though), but I do believe that depends on what you plane to mine, among other things. That 8gb memory should give you some decent longevity if DAG files will be a factor.

I'm been mining for almost 3 years already and you should always remember that mining will surely cost you in electricity.
If you have low price in electricity in your country then mining will surely bring you a good profit.

If you have free electricity then good for you, just make sure you are obtaining it the right and honest way.

With regards to the GPU you mentioned i believe those are fine. The r9 290s aren't used in normal GPU mining rigs because they consume a lot of electricity, but since you mentioned yours is free, it should be fine. For a more accurate benchmark of that GPU you can always visit online calculators like http://nicehash.com/?p=calc

 Actually, there are quite a few R9 290 still in use in GPU mining rigs - and they are still quite profitable if you have low enough electric cost.

 R9 295x2 is a lot less common as there weren't nearly as many made, and they don't have enough better cooling to be able to clock each GPU as high as the R9 290 can manage, but they're still viable on cheap electric.

If you don't have a problem with electricity and cooling issue, 295x2 is one of the best option.
It shows the best ethereum hashrate among ALL single graphics cards, consumes a lot of power.
Very cost effective if you are free from electricity bill.

 Most folks that know what the R9 295x2 is don't count it as a single card - it's 2 GPUs on one card, and the DRIVERS see it as 2 GPUs when counting against the "number of GPU limits" of the drivers.

 It DOES make for a nice compact rig though, *IF* you can keep the beast fed and cooled.
