I want to know the best GPU I can buy right now to profit in script mining.

 Does not exist nor has it existed for over 2 years.

 ASIC on Scrypt have pushed so far past GPUs that there is no such thing as a GPU that can profitably mine Scrypt - even with FREE electric, you'll probably have the card die before it manages to mine enough to pay for itself.
 For that matter, the Gridseed GC3355-based ASIC gear is to the point it's not profitable unless your electric is VERY VERY cheap - despite being a lot more efficient than any GPU ever was at mining Scrypt-based coins.


 If you look into non-Scrypt non-SHA256 coins, THOSE can still be mined for a profit in some cases by some GPUs.
 DASH would be a good choice for Maxwell-based NVidia cards given recent X11 optimisations for them, not so good of late on anything AMD though probably profitable enough on free or VERY VERY cheap electric.

If you can obtain free or cheap electricity, then you can use GPUs for mining DASH. But better ask in Altcoins sub-forum.
i actually just bought 2x r9 280x;s for my gaming pc and have free power at home wonder if it would be worth mining ltc or something else when im not actually using my pc

I want to know the best GPU I can buy right now to profit in script mining. I already have Antminer S3s running alongside, mining new SHA-256 coins but I want to run script mining so that I can cover the losses for running my Antminers.

Is there any updated thread here showing the comparison between various GPUs that are profitable for mining script or other algorithms?
