I think I'd like to buy a bunch of GTX 1070 GPUs based on their efficient hashing. Seems as though most people say that Samsung memory is the best to get, but trying to get a card with Samsung memory seems difficult.
Also it seems as though sometime in mid 2016 manufacturers started switching from Samsung to Micron memory due to shortages.
Questions:
1) Which manufacturer / model of card would you recommend for optimal performance, quality and reliability?
2) Is there a way to identify cards that have Samsung memory? I saw a spreadsheet from MSI, but many here seem to prefer EVGA cards. Is there a spreadsheet of model / revision numbers for EVGA that shows which have Samsung memory?
Thanks,
1) I would go for the cheapest because all of them are same pcb 1070 its just a matter of factory overclock and cooling which we can adjust thru overclocking/underclock. For warranty EVGA got the best
2) No, there is no way you can determine the memory if its a Samsung or Micron
