nvidia gtx 1080ti 11gb - $1191
nvidia gtx 1070 8gb - $641
nvidia gtx 1060 3gb - $290
nvidia gtx 1050ti - $213
nvidia gtx 1050 2gb - $152

amd rx 580 8gb - $412
amd rx 570 4gb - $400

That is a horrible price for a 1080ti 11gb. I wouldn't pay more than $750 for a 1080ti, so that's about $400 too expensive and ROI will be ridiculous for that kind of price.  From that list, it looks like your best options are either RX580, or 1050TI in my opinion. I would honestly search for a better price of 1080ti's though, because that would be the card to go for if you can manage it. The price on these cards seem so arbitrary and you should probably expand your search.

Mining different coins require different GPU. So you should think which coin you want to mine first

Hey, 
Thanks for the suggestion sir , today I checked with another seller and I can get 1080ti OC version for around $800
Buy as you said ROI will be too high.. I am thinking to get ×2 580s and save rest of the money and hold it for another 2-3 months and wait for new Nvidia GPUs to show..if I can get a hands on them otherwise will keep searching for 1080ti below $700 maybe

Actually a 1080Ti earns about as much as 2x 580, maybe slightly less.  At $800 the 1080Ti is the best buy on your list.  But I agree with others that now isn't a great time to buy new gpus for mining.  Next generation of gpus is around the corner, and altcoin prices are relatively low.

The GPU of choice will depend on the altcoin that you would mine. If prices is not a concern I would definitely suggest the GTX 1080 or a AMD RX Vega 56, but I would highly doubt that you can get it below $500 as most prices of both GPUs is around $700. For now budget wise I can recommend the GTX 1060 6gb since it is priced well in the GPU market with a good performance, the issue her is that the GPU memory which will affect hash rate as some algorithm prefers different memory depending on the manufacturer.

is Mining still relevant?)))

It's obviously relevant.  How else do you think a POW network is secured?

You mean algorithm right. All the time you will not find the difficulty on each crypto. It will changes as the price bumps and dumps in the market. This is happening because of the miners who are been part of mining on various coins mate.

Moreover when you want to buy the mining card, you please buy the card which can able to give more hashes and that card is from Nvidia brand. Then it is much to invest your fund over there. Else you cannot all these thing you please buy and hold the coins for more years.

Thanks everyone for helping me out...

I just end up buying a AMD Rx Vega 56 for $621.. they only had a one piece in-stock soo I think I made a good decision

It only has a single fan.. 😐is it really enough to cool down this GPU ??

Well you will find that soon enough Grin It depends mostly from your air flow in your pc case and how much undervolting you apply to it and also what algo will you mind with it,with cryptonight you should be safe in any case

By single fan do you mean that you bought the reference edition? The black blower type one like in this photo:


If so, just make sure you follow the VEGA mining guide by hellae which is linked below. Modding your VEGA for optimum power consumption and heat is crucial.

Hellae rocks!  I used this guide when I was setting up my first Vega's last year.

http://vega.miningguides.com/

He references some of what is in Hellae's guides.

$621 for a Vega 56 isn't too horrible considering the recent XMR fork.  I paid $500/gpu for my XFX Vega 56's at the end of November 2017.

Why don't you wait for the new GPU that have been rumored to be out soon.
The hasrate must be faster, but the price must be will be higher that the current release.

I can say for sure that buying a 1050 and 1050ti this is a very bad investment of your money, 1060 3 GB is not always good, the rest can be use, a lot depends on who made the card

If you buy GT 1080ti and mine other coins, you may luckily get roi in 1-2 months but currently your max profit daily is 3.58 on whattomine.com (once it was more than 10$ for 2 weeks).
RX580 is great if you don't like risks and prefer stable profit but I suggest you to get RX580 Sapphire nitro edition, this is considered as a best rx580. I have heared that armor version is cheap but very bad in cooling and hashrate too.
Also consider that bitmain is going to release asic for ether, it may change the game.

Wrong. I have a 12*1050ti rig which gives 190 mh/s stable on eth. Also due to my tower frame, it takes less space then a average 6 gpu rig. It all depends on what price you are getting the card.

It is better to wait until the new nVidia cards out in the next few months. They will be more efficient.

Yes.. right now I decided to mine crypto algo.. when the new GPU comes out.. I will look into it.. otherwise I will try to get 1080ti or rx 580 at reasonable prices

And about bitman Asics I saw someone saying it will be coming in November 2018 😕
