Topic: Choosing between two GPUs for my first mining rig! (Read 143 times)
Hello Everyone,
I need help in deciding on the GPU that I will be using on my first rig. Base on my initial research and my gut feel on the future of the market, I decided to go for Nvidia cards. My budget is enough to get five (5) pieces of GTX 1070 and I found two interesting cards locally that I am interested with.
What confuses me is this, my first choice was MSI GTX 1070 Gaming X Twin Frozr 8GB (150W) but I found Zotac GTX 1070Ti Mini OC 8GB (180W). The MSI cost about 20$ more. I look at their specification, and found that the MSI has better base clock and core speeds than the Zotac.
If I were to decide, I feel I will go for the MSI because I feel it has a better cooling capability and less rated power, but I also wanted to hear from you guys your thoughts on this. Thanks
