What about a Radeon VII? Very efficient and might retain its value better, similar to a 1080 ti.

I agree that they have a track record of not following their schedule.
As GPUs currently take more than 6 months to ROI (barring free power) I would still avoid choosing GPUs based on their ability to mine Ethash.
I think this is too long to get a profit and now I can say it is not too profitable anymore because seeing the condition of ethereum prices which are currently very cheap will not be able to provide maximum profits anymore. now the miners have started to decrease due to seeing the collapsed condhere price of ethereum.As GPUs currently take more than 6 months to ROI (barring free power) I would still avoid choosing GPUs based on their ability to mine Ethash.

Yes, you are right,
Nvidia GPU 1600 series is better than others,
my friend has used the 1600 series Nvidia GPU for the miner's client, he also used GPU 1660ti and the results were unsatisfactory because GPU 166ti didn't support the miner's client, my friend was disappointed to have bought 1660ti.
if anyone doubts I suggest buying the 1600 Nvidia GPU series to prove it yourself. in my opinion, we are very fortunate to buy it because many miner clients support the 1600 Nvidia GPU series.

I don't know about your friend's friends, but my 1660 Ti's mine just fine thank you very much!
I have both 1660 and the 1600tis and they are very close in performance. The ti seems like it might be more future proof with faster memory.

So now I'm more confused than ever I what cards I want to add was looking at some used vega's which I don't have any or adding more 570 8gb now you guys have me looking at 1660ti, the problem is AMD was the go to mining card and the nvidia guys used to complain there wasn't any support for miners now AMD is lacking on support for miners but will say I hardly have any problems with my 1070s
The mining speed here reaches 30 mh/s. You can also make it work better and faster if you use MSI Afterburner program (it is free). For now, it is one of the best cards for mining when using home computers.

RX sires cards do not look too bad for progpow https://progpow.pro/. Looks like a 580 can get 80% of the performance of a 1070 for less then 1/2 the price.
RX 570 = 11.23
1070 = 13.3
That's at default clock with default power draw. The card will draw roughly 200-230W while mining, so it is pointless. Undervolting it down to 1150-1200 core should achieve nearly half the power draw.RX 570 = 11.23
1070 = 13.3
Webpage says the power draw is 135 watts.
I have 80 GPUS and I run them at 70% and make a decent profit at .042 cents KWH.

Radeon VII does good on CryptoNight-R and Ethash. You can fall back to CN-R with that one.

I agree that mining ETH with 1660 or 1660ti doesn't make sense right now; better to mine another coin and exchange it to ETH with them.
As ETH is scheduled to switch algos soon, I would avoid choosing GPUs based on their ability to mine Ethash.

Lots of people been talking about an "near" switch to POS two years ago, and they were telling others not to buy GPU's based on ETH mining merits. So at least I'm certainly not holding my breath! Whatever happens, 1660Ti is pretty decent on ProgPOW too, according to tests from BBT and other sources.

New Nvidia Geforce GTX1660Ti is cool for mining Ethereum. The price of it is also OK, it varies between 299 and 349 USD. And its memory is 6-8 Gb. The tests of this stuff have shown 30 MH/s and less energy consumption.
Where did you spot an 8 gig 1660 Ti?

They want to do an audit of PROG and its suppose to be complete sometime in July. So who knows when they would switch.
I agree that they have a track record of not following their schedule.
As GPUs currently take more than 6 months to ROI (barring free power) I would still avoid choosing GPUs based on their ability to mine Ethash.

Show me the numbers for how AMD polaris has the best price performance.
I bought a Sapphire RX570 4G gaming for 130€ brand new in january. It's got Samsung memory, can hold 2100MHz mem speed and gets 31-31.5MH/s mining ETASH
Mining CN Heavy: 915H/s
CN turtle: 8500H/s
CN Waltz: 1300-1320H/s
Any GTX1660Ti is twice more expensive where I live.
I'm not trying other algorithms, because I mostly want to mine privacy based coins.

1600 series Nvidia GPUs are significantly better than everything else for mining.
The 1660ti almost matches a 1070's performance with only 75 watts.
Currently, most mining clients don’t support the 1660 or 1660ti.
Linux drivers currently only have limited support for the 1660 and 1660ti.
The 1670 or 1670ti will be the next GPU that will be optimal to buy for mining. They will likely have a 150-160 watt TDP, with an optimal mining powerlimit around 90-95 watts.
plan accordingly
yeah the newer a graphics card will be the better the potential of the graphics card for mining cryptocurrency if someone wants to use the GTX 1660 is a great idea because that's the latest version of GTX. The 1660ti almost matches a 1070's performance with only 75 watts.
