Sapphire Nitro 580 8GB or Zotac 1060 6GB which should i buy performance/hashrate

[Rapidgator]

I'm looking to buy GPUs for my rigs, 6GPUs per rig.

I am very much interested in buying Sapphire Nitro Rx 580 8GB LE or NVIDIA Zotac 1060 6GB

Can you guys please tell me which should i buy by performance/hashrate and power consumption etc.
What are your opinions for buying above said GPUs and which coins should i mine in current market situation and off course in future.
I never used NVIDIA before, and i want to give it a try but if AMD nitro 580 and NVIDIA 1060 6GB have similar hashrate on ZEC and BTG then i will definitely go for AMD.
I have free electricity but i do care of resale value as well where people don't have free or cheap electricity.

What are max hashrate on single GPU either AMD nitro 580 8GB and ZOTAC 1060 6GB on ETH, ETC, ZEC, BTG, XMR

Please share your valuable experience which help me to decide a better option.

Thanks

Whattomine.com is pretty accurate, they have both rx 580 and gtx 1060 in their databases, so you might want to start there. AMD is better for ETH and XMR. Everything else is either similar or slight nvidia advantage. In terms of power consumption nvidia has an advantage, but you don't seem to care about that so maybe not as important. Nvidia is also more efficient with larger number of coins in general, they're not as huge and well-known as ETH or XMR, but still often more profitable to mine (most of the time more profitable, actually).

wacko already said everything. In my opinion i would go with the 580 8gb they will be usefull in 4-5 years you will easily sell them for technical schools or office pcs which need a little bit of graphic power. I dont know how high your investment is but it also depends on that. Our company is going to invest 50.000 Euro into Miners => GPUs so we are already thinking about days now which is the perfect mining rig for long time use.

I think you should go for AMD nitro 580 8GB, they are best

which card will get better hashrate on zcash and bitcoin gold

- AMD Sapphire nitro 580 8GB LE or SE
- ZOTAC AMP 1060 6GB


EDIT : I heard eth and etc hashrate are dropped quite a lot even on AMD Sapphire nitro 580 8GB LE or SE  due to epoch

i went to whattomine.com, under 580 tab i entered 6x 580s, it showed 181.2 Mh/s on ethhash which looks impossible to get right now on ethereum and etc

If you are using Blockchain drivers there is no hashrate drop   If I would buy for myself i would take Rx. I got both, rx and GTx card and I am more satisfied with Rx-series

could you please give me driver link and would you mind to share or PM me the best core / mem settings you have found for sapphire nitro 580 8GB cards.

AMD is best for mining Ethash and Cryptonight Algorithm
NVIDIA is best for mining Equihash and Lyra Algorithm

just for compare

SPEED

Ethash
RX 580  : 30 MH/s
GTX 1060 ; 22 MH/s

Cryptonight
RX 580  : 690 H/s
GTX 1060 : 430 H/s

Equihash
RX 580  : 290 sol/s
GTX 1060 : 270 sol/s

Lyra
RX 580  : 5700 KH/s
GTX 1060 : 20300 KH/s



POWER CONSUMPTION

Ethash
RX 580  : 135 W
GTX 1060 : 90 W

Cryptonight
RX 580  : 115 W
GTX 1060 : 70 W

Equihash
RX 580  : 120 W
GTX 1060 : 90 W

Lyra
RX 580  : 120 W
GTX 1060 : 90 W

this is the driver link:

In case you have bios modified you will have to apply AMD/ATI Pixel Clock Patcher

Thank you guys.
I think AMD Nitro RX 580 8GB will be good for me

RX 580 is a best choice if you have free electricity
