Hi, i was thinking about building a mining rig with RX series 4Gb.
I am interested in mining Ubiq , but on their pool i see that it will be a Epoch switch in around 650 hours.
Being my first time coming into space and never saw a epoch change, i want to ask you if the MH will change and how drastically could the change be.

I know that with 470,480,570,580 you can get around 27MH/s until 30 ish ... is there any way to know if these numbers will be affected and how?
Also, in my country i can find them at around 275-305$ a piece...is this a reasonable price?

Lastly, does it matter how many cards you have on a rig?
Is there any difference in having 6, 8, 10 ...etc?...performance wise.
well there can be its better if you build 6-8 gpu rigs performance wise and you can manage them easier you don't need to worry a lot about epoch switch most of amd users mining on cryptonight anyways and i suggest you to go for 8 gb versions of rx 480 and 580 if you can or 1070 ti currently can do a lot too.
