Okay people,
I am getting
VEGA 64 8GB for 470$
RX 480 8GB for 235$
RX 580 8GB for 395$
RX 570 8GB for 315$
GTX 1070 8GB for 285$
R9 295X2 OC 8GB for 710$
Which is a better buy?
Any recommendation?
I'd love to know where you can find those at those prices and actually available....if you are looking at nextwarehouse or asoola you'll get them in about 6 months if they even come.
RX480/580 is basically the same card but the 480 does better on power stock. If you can get an 8gb rx480 for $235 buy every one available...thats at/below msrp. RX570 has 4 less compute nodes (32 vs 36) but is the same polaris chipset as the 48/580 so its definately worth less than the others, but still viable at the price you posted.
1070 also a great card, can mine more than the nvidias and I find is more stable in windows after final 10 update than the radeons. Also a spectacular price at $285.
R9 295X2 is similar to the RX580, both of which are closer to 1060's, not 1070s.
Personally Id buy up all the 1070s first, then if I had money left over all the 480s. but unless you are buying used from somone that doesnt know what ebay is...I dont think those prices are real in todays market.
Cant speak on the VEGAs but I always build a triangle matrix when selecting cards that has cost, power and hashrate...lets just say the vega never even makes it on the top 10 list because its cost and power always lopside the triangle. CAST XMR will allow it to run 2kh/s for XMR/ETN which will help make the Vega great, but thats limited to really two main coins, only one of which is really profitable right now.
