Topic: choosing a card for beginner mining (Read 144 times)
For Algo Equihash better used NVIDIA, But EThash better used AMD cards. some peoples used both for switch algo and price, power consumption is sometimes to be the reason.
1060 3 Gb is cheapest one, i like palit jetstream or gainward (same card) you can bacame it sometime on offer for 215€
rx 4xx and rx 5xx are the best choise for minig if u have to pay the electricity
a lot of miners prefer them but there is a big problem...stock...at least in my country

Missed the boat for LTC.
If you want to mine ETH go with a AMD Vega56 if you can afford. Although monero is currently more profitable.
The 1070 will get you on algos like Zec, or Lyra2z
When you say I missed the boat does that mean that I can't get anything from LTC, like not even a dollar a day?
And if so won't that happen with ETH also, where in a year from now it's fruitless trying to mine that with a gpu also?
For Etherium better the AMD Cards. If you want to select RX 480 (TDP: 150 W, Power Connector: 1x 6-pin) or RX 580 (TDP: 185 W, Power Connector: 1x 8-pin). If you want to know hashrate or other things can visit to whattomine.
If i'm you i will buy nvidia 1070, it has one of the best cost/performance ratios out there.
I have a lot of them and i plan to buy even more.
If you dont want to spend that much money, you can go with 1060 6gb. Its nearly the same cost/performance, but has lower resell value for me.
For ETH mining you can go with AMD rx580 which has the same hashrate as 1070 nvidia, but is cheaper.
However RX580 are good mostly for ETH and Cryptonight, for the other algorithms there are no good.

Hi, I want to buy just one or two graphics cards to begin mining
Am I better off with an AMD or should I get a GTX 1050, 1060, or 1070. 1080 is a bit too expensive but how much does the hashrate vary from 1050-1080.
Are AMD Radeon RX any good? 480-580
I preferably want to mine Etherium or Litecoin but I'll settle for less popular coins if I have to.
