GPU'S

If you want some budget cards i think gtx 980 ti is a Good card and equal to gtx 1070 but cheaper or of course the New one like vega 56 or 64 (amd)  and if you have the capital i suggest to get Tesla p100 average hashrate on eth 168 mh don't know about other algorithems though Good luck

[Bimmber]

they are on sale everywhere .he bought 8 rx 580 for $150 each

I do not believe that, not in 2018.

Well, right off the bat the 9xx cards are crippled for Eth mining so theres that....

yea dont buy last gen cards right now, with new gen cards coming out this year buying 10 series nvidia cards is the better play, in terms of ability to recoup investment by selling the hardware down the line.

The market for 980ti's will die completely with the release of next gen cards when there is a large supply of used 10 series cards being sold.

Right now best play is to buy any 10 series GPUs at or below MSRP, should make decent ROI.

(i.e. 1080ti's at or below 700$usd).

An other option is to donating your GPU computing power (and get MEDIC coins rewards) to support protein folding at home project of Stanford University through MEDIC Coin's folding at home initiative.

What about your budget ?
the best is 1080TI but 1070 is also good.
Red 56th vegas also great
For small budget for now good modded RX550 cards for mining cryptonight and eth forks

i have a large budget and want to get the best possible cards ,i just love the mining aspect of crytpo any end profit is a bonus

Then what about wait and buy new ASIC F3 on GDDR3 memory, if you love only GPU mining rigs then create from 1080TI and VEGA 56/64

Buying a vega 56 or 64 is false economy.  They do not produce enough for what they cost.  The only thing they are good for is if someone has limitations to the amount of cards they can support with motherboard(s) or power supplies.  In those cases stuff your rig(s) with Vega 56/64.....if you have the money for those AND have limitations making you have to go that route.

I have to disagree but there are qualifying limitations to my disagreement.  The main factor being money.  If someone has the PCIE slots available in a rig(s) then buy anything they can afford. Fill them up and have them earning money NOW until the next generation cards come.  Then when the 10 series prices come down ....If the nextgen cards cause that to happen once released buy those and dumps the 9 series on ebay for whatever they bring BUT if you have the PCIE space available after buying 10 series then use the 9's too. FK it....build a rig just for the 9 series cards. The more rigs/cards running the more money you are earning daily.

lol the new cards aren't even going to be available.  once they are released, they will sellout and then be available for 1500+.  If you think differently in a world where 1070s are selling for 700+, you are in for a rude awakening.

[tenebriscaelum]

If you could find RX580 or RX570 for a good price then off to go with this for starters but if you have a higher budget for GPUs then go for RX Vega 64/56 or GTX 1080ti/1080/1070ti/1070. If you really want it cheap you could go 1050ti/1050 or RX 560.

[RYXES]

1080ti

or if its cheaper for a flight, fly to China and head to the Bitmain factory. Buy ASICs direct for a lot cheaper price!

It is doubtful, that new.

You are contradicting yourself.  For the new cards to sellout they have to be available and SOMEONE has to buy them. WTF, Over.

[care2yak]

i think 1070 is still better -- if available.

[Koomsd]

titans is best i think  its very performer vga

[2stout]

1080 ti- more algo range and performance or you could switch directions and get an S9.

[Miningtry]

Should i buy gtx 1080ti/1070ti now or wait for ampere 2080?

HI i'm off to taiwan shortly and i will be looking at buying some gigabyte gpu's to build myself some rigs . anyone suggest the best cards to buy for mining altcoins.

Unless you like replacing fans, avoid Gigabyte other than the Aorus models.

Also, the Ampere rumor appears to be from a single source that has been repeated a few times, and conflicts with the STATEMENT from TSMC back in October that they were going to be shifting production from Pascal TO VOLTA GPUs around the end of the year.

I suspect there WILL be stock available for Volta when they're released, given how much production lead time exists, but I suspect that pent-up demand will chew through that stock in a hurry.

With the existing deficit, now you need to take any GPU that allows you to extract cryptocurrencies. But I doubt you'll find them cheaper. All manufacturers GPU is now pre-loaded contracts. All capacities are involved in maintenance of miners. Therefore, the deficit of GPU is observed in all countries.

But seems like there is a new gpu batch coming right now, here in Switzerland some shops got stock back again and last week everything was still sold out. However you got still the limitation of 2 cards per account and prices are high.

This week there has been an obvious delivery of GPU's into the United States.  Many brands, models are available and many of them are substantially lower in price (for the circumstances anyway).  Most deals Ive seen are at newegg.  I just bought a MSI 1080 for $619 and i get a $10 rebate on top of that.  Bought Wed this week.  Many RX series cards are available way more often than ive seen in the previous couple weeks or so.  Its going to get worse again very soon with BTC hanging out in the $11,000 range and much speculation that it will only climb this month reaching 15k plus. We shall see and im all for it.  I like $$$.

My free advice....Buy as many GPUs as you can afford and get your hands on.  But be smart and dont pay too much for them.  In other words dont pay $300 for a 1050 TI. Pay $235 or less.  Dont pay $999 for a 1080.  Pay under $700.  The deals are there....just have to be quick and know what your limit for each model should be.
