Basically I've been researching altcoin mining for about half a year now. I've seen the prices go up and down and the profitabilities increasing and decreasing. I'm was looking to get into mining ethereum, however I believe it will cost around £3000 (give or take) to build a decent GPU that can run at 180mh/s. Now, I've been searching everywhere whether if a GPU that mines ethereum at 180MH/s will mine other cryptocurrencies at the same hash rate, which led me to posting the first question I've ever posted on the internet. Any help is appreciated hugely and if I'm just being stupid well at least I know. Thanks

Interestingly, did you consider the cost of equipment and electricity and the most important thing is the constantly growing complexity? Approximate payback will be from 8 months to 1 year and more (depends on the growth of exchange rates). I think that at home, it's not really important to get new coins now Sad
Maybe I'm wrong ..

Cards used to mine ETH can be used to mine around 800 others, too. Whattomine.com is a great site, listed earnings are accurate to +/-2%.

There are minor differences between hashrates of AMD and NVIDIA cards in different algos, RX 580 is neat for ETHash and some others, GTX 1070 is neat for Equihash and most other things.
