The best gpu for scrypt mining is the Asus strix r7 370 4gb. This bad boy is power efficient. It draws 110w and gives you 15mh (17mh OC) of ethereum mining. Right now you can get them with a $30rebate brand new. https://www.amazon.com/Radeon-Overclocked-256-bit-DisplayPort-Graphics/dp/B00ZQ3QVJK/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&qid=1471500653&sr=8-1&keywords=asus+strix+4gb&linkCode=ll1&tag=technology304304-20&linkId=15ea6672c1c998b748dfe71d0d8ab041

I have 5 of these gpu´s in my rig. To power my rig I chose Evga 1000w Gold with 6 pcie vga cables.

Very important to get a real good power supply.

It is better to use the RX 470 to mine the Ethereum. The price is lower than the 480 and has similar mining performance.

I heard that Eliovp has modified the RX 480 BIOS and can mine the Ethereum at over 31 MH/s. But he has not made one for 470 yet.

Some people has made some BIOS mod for the 470. It seems the 470 can achieve similar results as the 480.

Looking into building a rig for mining XMR ect. What are the best GPU's for that right now?

Thanks for the help and this should help newbies in there research as well. Also I'm not looking for necessarily energy efficiency more hash power I know 290s are good but price wise better to get 280s and run them in crossfire or sli?

Hi Joe,

For GPU mining I recommend using 380X Nitro's. Is a reasonable price for them are they are having a really good hash power compared to the price.

Be aware of the motherboard that you are using. I use ASROCK H81 BTC Pro and they are a really good deal.

Good luck,

I have quite a few Asrock H81 Pro BTC motherboard, they are very robust. I used them for some time already.

The main problem about the Asorck H81 Pro BTC is that it will not be produced. You have to buy other MB.

I like the H61 and H81 Pro BTC version of the Asrock. They each have two molex connectors on the board.

The new Asrock motherboards have only one molex connectors. You need to use a few powered risers.

From the http://cryptomining-blog.com/8054-performance-of-the-amd-radeon-rx-480-for-other-algorithms/
1070 is better.

That is right. It seems that the RX 480 is only good at Ethereum mining. But it is less efficient than 1070.

If you just want to mine the Ethereum, the 480X is the best. But if you want to mine other coins, 1070 is the best.

That is right. But the 1070 is too expensive. We may have have ROI. Maybe we can wait for the 490X.

It is better not to wait for the 490 or the 490X. When they arrive, the difficulty will be so high, not profitable to mine.

I think so. For the time being, it is better to buy the 480 or 470 or even 1070 to mine the Ethereum now.

Anyone seen results for 1060 on different algos? Can't decide between it and 480

The best GPU for mining Ethereum is 1070 in Linux. When the issues with AMD RX480 is resolved, it could also be good.

In terms of reaching your ROI back the 7950s are good with an average of 17MH/s per gpu it beats its power consumption with its mined cryptocurrency. Its hard to find a new one, also be careful when looking for a refurbished one. Test it out first before buying it.

The power consumption of the 7950 is too high. If you pay $0.2 /kWh, you will not ROI due to the increase in difficulty.

If that's true why do people still prefer the 7950s rather than the R9 280X? It's even hard to find a new one. Your best bet is to find a refurbished model in the market. Also from what I heard 7950s ran quiter than the other models.

For my set up, I found the 7970 are faster than the 7950. I would rather have 7970 instead of 7950.

Yes 7970s are obviously faster than 7950s , but in terms of Hash Rate to Power Consumption. You will still profit more in 7950s rather than the 70s. Not an opinion it is a fact. But good for you if you ar making a profit with your gpu. After all is all were after.

I have some 7970, I undervot them and they achieve better hash/power consumption rate as they have more core.
