Want to buy few used GPU

[Looper_U]

Going to choose from few old GPUs from a friend of a friend that needed money and want to sell them, what will be the better decision between 1080ti and Vega 64? Which one is more durable for mining and give less stress or troubles?

I believe you are asking a rhetoric question here,it is surely 1080 ti and although it doesn't go to 50 Mhsh like Vega does,max it goes 46-47 Mhsh at full power of 220 watt while Vega stays 190 watt at 50 Mhsh the problem is Vegas need much more care while the 1080 ti card is a set and forget one and I am talking from experience,I got a few dead Vegas while my only one Gtx 1080 ti Evga FTW3 is still running strong and extremely stable with temperatures staying at less than 50 degree celsius most of the time something you cannot find in a Vega.

I would surely sacrifice a few Mhsh to have peace of mind and much longer lifespan with the Nvidias.

I would go with the 1080ti. Post ETH i think the 1080ti will be the more profitable card. Using todays numbers and in a world without ETH the Vega will make $1.25 a day but the 1080ti will make $1.45. Then you add in these are used cards and buying used Vegas is risky, you never know what kinda shape that HBM2 memory is going to be in. The 1080ti however are rock solid and durable cards you can mistreat them and they will keep on ticking.

The Nvidia cards all day, they work better with no driver issues and they have low temp compare to AMD, if I have to buy AMD card today it will be the newer versions not the old architecture, I'm talking about the likes of rx6600 and others but since this is between 1080ti and Vega I will surely go for 1080ti

VEGA VEGA VEGA. i like them alot. of course i would pick VEGA!

1080Ti

As mentioned before. Vegas needs playing with timings that takes alot of trial and error and ALOT of time (specially the gigabyte gaming oc, wich is terrible to work with). And i guess 1080TI are pretty straight forward.

1080TI use to much power for this small hashrate and the hashrate decrease every new DAG Epoch. Use 2060 Super instead, they only use 115w and can do around 45mh. Used cards are available for less money than 1080Ti´s

The GPU temp depends on every GPU and Subvendor. My AMD cards are always under 60°C.

Vega Cards, use less power, hashrate will not decrease very DAG epoch and they have more hashrate than a 1080ti.

Much longer timespan? I hate this theoretical stupid shit. Why has nvidia cards longer timespan? I lose 1 nvidia and 1 amd card in 5 years of mining full time with 200 cards. This bashing against GPU manufacturer is senseless. Every one has good an bad cards. Or did you do a research for years with 1000 of cards?

I heard Vega is very stressful to set up, without the right timing you won't get the proper hashrate out of the card unlike the 1080to that only needs Ethlargement pill active and now many miners already have the settings in them even Nicehash too, go with the Nvidia if you don't like spending too much time on tweaking GPU

198 and 2 is a good record.

with my 2020 gear from april 1 to now I am about 230 and 2

all three were amd 2 in a two card rig I suspect it was a mobo short.

and a few fans died msi amd fans.

I go back to 2012 mining with gpus.

amds were always harder to get to work 24/7/365

but my amd 5600 = excellent
and my amd 5700 = excellent

So I kind of think it varies make to make and model to model.

My all time favorite gpu = 1080ti evga hybrid

36 and 0 all about 4 years old.

Vegas for amd are great. They don't heat and under volt well. Latest drivers have taken the headache away too.
I love Nvidia as they are still quiter. Vegas are far quiter then 580s but not as quiet as my 1070s and 1080s.

[Williamm07]

Both graphic cards are good for mining, the Nvidia is more quieter and cooler than the AMD, I don't like troubleshooting much but if this is your thing then go for the AMD, some are even getting 50-52MH on Vega 56 with Samsung and Micron memory type

Both video cards are excellent, but there is a very important point that after the end of Ethereum mining, their profit will be very small and the power consumption of video cards is not small. It is important to buy a video card in good condition and at a good price in order to quickly recoup your investment.
What prices are offered to you and how much do you pay for electricity?

Can you share the details of the AMD driver that you referring to? I'm stuck with AMD driver on hiveOS and I've not even think about using a latest AMD driver not sure if it's going to worth the hassle that's why I'm asking
