Radeon RX 480 has cheap power at 40 cents a day and makes 1.2$ a day and it costs 199 dollars. the one that I said is the best bang for your buck if you want to get a nice gpu with a nice profit Smiley

I personally use a few GTX 1070s for mining ethereum.  I can undervolt them to use only 105 watts and speed up the memory clock just a tiny bit to pull right at 30 MH/s.  I was able to buy a couple of the EVGA hybrids which use an awesome watercooling system, and they hold up very well.  Be warned that if you want to get into ethereum mining there is a little bit more knowledge necessary.  Its not as simple as purchasing an ASIC miner and plugging it in.  There are sourcing issues as most GPUs are scarce to find, limited to purchase quantities, and overpriced at today's demand.  Then you need a bit of knowledge in building computers to get everything going, but I've found that the best bundles are from GPUSHACK, so you don't have to search high and low to get all your parts.  Then you need to figure out how to build a rig to support them in a way to promote heat dispersion and airflow for temperature control.  Plus the fact of tweaking your settings constantly to get the least possible power consumption with the highest possible profit return.  I don't know if my passion comes through my post as it does in real life, but to me its actually more fun building the systems than running them.  You have to start somewhere!

Figure out how many cards you are going to run first.  Then go to GPUSHACK and buy a bundle that includes a motherboard, cpu, ram, and ssd.  Then all you need to buy are the actual cards, the generic pci-e risers, and a power supply capable of running that many cards.  You can do extensive research on the different motherboards and rams and ssds and cpus and drive yourself crazy with combinations and cost analysis like I did for a long time.  But its much easier to get the bundle pack from GPUSHACK, and start mining ASAP.

Great!

Can you please give us list of all recommended devices for a beginner to build a mining rig?

Thanks!!

Cards can be hard to find right now so keep a lookout and order what you can for the remaining hardware while its in stock.  Hopefully there will be a restock of cards in the next few weeks.

"cheap power at 40 cents" how the hell did you get that numbers ? everyone paying a different kw/$ price Smiley

Etherium mining hardware is Radeon hardware, exclude Vega cards. Vega for cryptonight.
AMD cards can dual mining.
Only what you need buy 4gb cards

Could you PM me? I have a few questions with ETH and Nidvias.

Sure.  Send me any questions you have and I’d be happy to help.  Or if you think others can benefit from our conversations we can keep them in the thread for everyone to look at.
