Topic: Choosing between Sapphire\MSI Radeon 470\480 4g\8g and Nvidia 1060 3g\6 (Read 571 times)

Hi!

So i have decided to make a mining farm.

It will be okay if this farm will get money back even after a year. My goal is to make a stable flexible mining farm that will be suitable for mining ether+decred or ZEC now and mining other coins after ether.


Lets assume 2 options.

1. How bad will it be for Radeon if Ether mining will be over? Is there enough alternatives to continue mining something else with it?
2. The same question is about Nvidia if ZEC will be over.


So i see 3 possible options here.


1. Make 50 % Radeon + 50% Nvidia mining farms. ( Sapphire\MSI Radeon 470\480 4g\8g + Nvidia 1060 3g\6g)
2. 100% Radeon (Sapphire\MSI Radeon 470\480 4g\8g)
3. 100% Nvidia (MSI 1060 3g\6g)


As you can see here is another trick.

What GPUs should it be on all of those 3 options?

- MSI Radeon RX 470 GAMING X 4.0 GB
- MSI Radeon RX 470 GAMING X 8.0 GB
- MSI Radeon RX 480 GAMING X 4.0 GB
- MSI Radeon RX 480 GAMING X 8.0 GB

- Sapphire Nitro+ Radeon RX 470 D5 4.0 GB OC
- Sapphire Nitro Radeon RX 470 D5 OC 8.0 GB OC
- Sapphire Nitro Radeon RX 480 D5 OC 4.0 GB OC
- Sapphire Nitro+ Radeon RX 480 D5 4.0 GB OC
- Sapphire Nitro Radeon RX 480 D5 OC 8.0 GB OC
- Sapphire Radeon RX 470 Nitro+ 8.0 GB OC
- Sapphire Nitro+ Radeon RX 480 D5 8.0 GB OC

and

- MSI GeForce GTX 1060 1594Mhz PCI-E 3.0 3072Mb 8108Mhz



What should be here the most hashrate\power cost choice?
