1060 vs 1070 mining rig

[jimmykl]

Yes. Do not confuse: NVIDIA GTX 1700 is different from Quadro FX 1700. This onde, as said, is more than a decade old. Its useless for mining.

Correction of my previous post: PowerDraw is 65%. Not 80.

There is no such card as a GTX 1700? Do you mean GTX 1070?

Hello guys,

Can you please give me a quick advice. What should i buy for my rig GTX 1060 or 1070 for the below prices.
I can have 8x 1060 or 6x 1070 for the same money.


GTX 1060 Windforce OC 6GB DDR5 192-bit -> 350 euro

GTX 1070 Windforce OC 8GB DDR5 256-bit*** -> 500 euro



*** not in stock

BR,
The chosen one

I have a similar question and a doubt, so please advise:

Since Eth is soon to be POS, I plan on starting with Zcash (and any other Nvidia prefered algo).

I have I3 Sandy Bridge with 8GB Ram and a Single slot PCI Motherboard (I want to buy bigger GPU so I can use my existing PC) but if more smaller GPUs are a better profit I would make a RIG.
I want to make profit in a short run (I don't plan to save coins, except if I must).

I have these offers, the prices are a bit high these days since the hype:

GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1070 8GB G1 GAMING = 560e
Gainward GeForce GTX 1060 6GB GDDR5 192bit PCIe = 300e
EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 FTW GAMING ACX 3.0 8GB = 580e
Gainward GeForce GTX 1070 Ti 8GB GDDR5 256bit = 600e
ASUS GeForce GTX 1080 Ti ROG Poseidon Platinum 11GB GDDR5X 352bit PCIe = 940e

What would you do in my stead? 1 x 1080ti or more of the lesser ones?

Thanks!

My favourite card is a 1060 6gb. At 70 watts pumping out 25 MH/s, there's nothing better. The cards I "like" best are the 1070 ti's. 31.5 MH/s @ 49-50 degrees but at around 120 watts. So no brainer for me if power is of any concern.

I'm running 1060's because they are more comparable to RX570's in terms of power consumption and cost of the card.

On my 1060's I get 22 MH/s using 70 Watts per card, on my RX570 I'm getting 25 MH/s using 105 watts per card.

I've got my Palit GeForce GTX 1060 DUAL 6GB to 23.5 MH/s at 115 watts.

But for me I stuck with 22 MH/s using 70 Watts as I live in the UK and electricity is not cheap here.
