Analyst Claims NVIDIA Has A Power Efficiency Edge Over AMD In Ethereum Mining But Not So Fast
https://hothardware.com/news/analyst-claims-nvidia-efficiency-edge-over-amd-in-ethereum
<< Mitch Steves, an RBC Capital analyst, recently pitted two mainstream GPUs against each other to see how they compare when it comes to cryptocurrency mining. Steves' testing involved the Pascal-based NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 and AMD's newly released Radeon RX 580 to see how they performed with Bitcoin and Ethereum mining. His analysis determined that while the Radeon RX 580 offered just over a 3 percent performance advantage in mining Ethereum or Bitcoin and the estimated yearly dollars made via mining, the GeForce GTX 1070 actually resulted in much lower running costs due to a power efficiency advantage.
The analysis also mentions a 33 percent savings on power consumption for NVIDIA which then translates into lower daily and annual KW/h costs. When taking performance and running costs for electricity into account, the NVIDIA card came out slightly behind the AMD card in annual profit with Ethereum mining, but slightly ahead with Bitcoin mining.
The analysis doesn't take into account pricing for each card. GeForce GTX 1070 cards are running around $370 on Amazon, while the Radeon RX 580 retails for around $285 (if you can actually find one). That’s a pretty big disparity, which only grows if you start adding more GPUs to your mining rig. Throw thirteen RX 580 cards into your ASRock H110 Pro BTC+, and that's a savings of $1,105. >>

Very nice article and definitely interesting for future and existing miners.
However.
In days like these, with tools like ours and your results obviously based on stock out of the box gpu's (which is ok..), it's probably not a bad idea to mention the possibilities...
Knowing that a single 480 8G can easily get more than 32Mh --> Example, consume about the same as out of the box
and a 470 4G can easily go over 31Mh --> Example, while consuming even less than out of the box.
Perhaps something to mention
Greetings!

Thank you
