Currently, AMD Vega 64's are a hot commodity. I cannot order or pre-order one on any legitimate website that I can find. I am in the market for this particular GPU because it has a lot of potential in terms of modding for the most power it can produce, and it is great for mining Cryptonight algo. I want to mine Monero on the majority of my GPU's, which is why I want this GPU.
I decided not to go with Nvidia GPU's for my first rig because I feel that AMD's have a broader range of capabilities in terms of algos and hashrate, although I know depending on the model they can be power hungry and very hot. I have decided not to pursue the Vega 64's for now because I cannot find them available, so my question is what is the best AMD alternative to the AMD Vega 64 for mining Monero and other popular Altcoin algos? If you have personal experience in this matter, or have heard things, any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
This actually depends on what budget you got and preferences.
For GPU's, my budget is $500-$700/GPU. My plan is to work my way up to 5 GPU's on one AMD rig. Then later, I'll do 5 GPU's on one Nvidia GPU rig. Depending on pricing of Nvidia's when that time comes, my budget would range from $600-$800.
