The mexc exchange has a large trading volume

It's even better for the coin and we can mine more coins until there are additions to the major exchanges and miners start buying new 4000 series graphics cards for mining.

The hash rate for 4000 series jumps a lot for Nexa.

3080 = 109 MH/S for NexaPow
4080 = 175 MH/S for Nexapow

Because the Nexapow algorithm loves graphics cards with powerful cores. Even the RTX 4070 outperforms the RTX 3080. And as a coincidence, all popular mining coins require a powerful GPU core, so 2-3 series are very far behind in mining. Of course, in the past, most of the video cards were mining ethereum, which does not need a more powerful GPU core.

I have never even heard of these coins

These coins popped up not long ago. I don't think they are listed on coinmarketcap yet

Just hoping one will do well.

NEXA is small real small.

Your prediction is spot on. It's at $24,158 right now!

I wouldnt buy high end cards like 3090. It is difficult to handle that and easy to break for newbie.get some 3060 or 3060tis

Completely agree with this statement

I think we have enough of them already,ETHW-EthereumPoW then we have ETHF-EthereumFair and ETC-Ethereum Classic all fighting with each other to get the place left alone since ETH moved from PoW to PoS so what would these new coins that you say use the same algorithm will bring new to the table and for them to become successful when there are already three of the big ones contending for this fight.

I can agree though for people coming in for the future,as if they have a very low difficulty at the beginning these new cards can make a decent and substantial amount of them and keep them in their wallet.

On video cards, coins are no longer mined on the ETHASH and ETCASH algorithms, because it is unprofitable even on free electricity.
Look at the calculator, even double mining does not help on these algorithms
https://hashrate.no/gpus/3060ti

I know there is no profit mining ETHASH or ETCASH algorithms. I mine the newer coins that use ETHASH like blackchain, etherone, altcoinchain, partychain, qi blockchain, etc hoping/praying that one of them do something good down the road.

I moved half my of my miners to start mining NEXA. It's actually profitable but payouts are slow.

It also depends on what you want to mine. I usually mine coins that use ETHASH.

I'm running a few 3060 TI Founders Edition GPUs and get good results. Uses less electricity than the LHR versions.

For example for ETHASH it uses 119 Watts and get 60 MH/S while my 3060 TI LHR uses 159 Watts to get the same hash rate.

You can pick them up for $399 each new when available.

I also like EVGA's 3060. It uses 100 Watts and get about 50 MH/S.

Assuming you are going also to use the videocard for gaming and not for mining only.
Depending if you are playing videogames on 1440p or 4k get a videocard with at least 12GB VRAM or higher so it will last you longer as newer games start to use more than 8GB of VRAM.
Another thing is your preference for better RT and DLSS go with Nvidia otherwise AMD have their options for RT and FSR and FSR can be used with Nvidia/AMD and Intel videocards.
For mining 8GB VRAM and above is ok and depending what coin you want to mine you can take either Nvidia or AMD.

Good YT site for giving you an insight for gaming:

For mining and comparison between AMD and Nvidia:

Just some ideas for you to ponder on.

I'm looking for free spin.

There are many tools that you can use to find the best graphics card you can try this one https://2cryptocalc.com/most-profitable-nvidia-gpu

If you are lucky go to eBay or Alibaba 2nd hand GPU still make you profit than looking for best but expensive GPUs. If you have cheap power rate 2nd hand Nvidia GPUs is the best option just learn how to maintain them well.

I would not be in a hurry to buy this graphics card on April 13th. It is not known which manufacturer's model will be better for mining. If you buy a video card with bad thermal pads, you will have to change them yourself and you may void your warranty. There is no big profit now, it is better to wait for the reviews of other miners.

@valsy, it would be much better if you could give more details, such as the country you are going to buy it from or your goal with the gpu.

I will assume that you are from the US by showing the dollar value, and that it is for mining since you are in the mining forum.

My choice with that value would be the 4070 that will launch in a few days, April 13 to be exact, and at the current time will not be difficult to buy the card at launch.
The MSRP is 599
The reason for choosing the Nvidia is that it would be better for mining more algos and possibly even dual or tri mining, in this aspect Nvidias are better.
And a brand new card with a 2 or 3 year warranty is very good to get peace of mind with your investment.
If you want to play some games, 4070 will be a good choice too.

I have about $600 and would like to know the best graphics card I can find for that money

I also think that if you want to buy a video card for mining and use it during the 3 year warranty period, then it is better to buy 4000 series, but not hot video cards. My observation about the hashrate on new coins in this post.

But do not rush to buy, wait for the reviews.

wait for RTX 4070 sales
The RTX 4070 price is officially $599, and it is unlikely to change. This is the same price as the RTX 3070 Ti, but that is still a $100 increase compared to the last-gen non-Ti SKU. For this, gamers will get 4GB more memory, newer RT and Tensor cores, support for DLSS3 tech and more advanced video encoding (AV1).
Maybe you can buy it for $600.

I agree with Oshosondy that Nvidia is the best brand for a graphics card in my opinion , but others maybe think difference about it.
The one want AMD and the others want Nvidia more but it also depends what you want to do with it.
If you only want to do mining or do you want to play with it also Videogames.
One GPU for mining dosnt bring you a profit fast , keep that in mind.
