If you plan on mining monero, you shoud buy AMD cards such as rx 570s 580s and vega as they are good in mining cryptonight algorithm. Zcash on the otherhand is best mined using nvidia cards, I would suggest buying 1070s or 1080s. You should invest on the best PSU like gold and platinum if you plan on longterm mining. By the way, ETH is doing good right now so you can consider nvidia cards more than AMDs.

Mining zcash gives you better profit than monero for 1080ti GPU most of the time. If you are willing to take some risk, then you can always mine new coin, sometimes you can get 2X or 3X profit compared to what you see in whattomine.

Hi all.

........ I am looking to mine coins such as monero and z cash. However will the cards that are needed to mine them still be useful later on or does it all depend on how well each coin is doing individually as to whether you get success and profitability mining it?

Cheers

1070 or 1080ti are good plug and play options that will give you some longevity and resale value. And yes, if you mine bunch on any coin and it craps out - you lose ... www.whattomine.com can give you some idea what kind of profit can you make with different types of GPU. This can also help you calculate how fast will you pay off your investment (RoI).

If you get 1080ti you should still have a resale value to them. You should get around 700 sols a card on zcash.

Hi all.

Looking to set up my own rig in the new year. I was wondering what suggestions you have for this looking more long term. ie. 2018 and beyond. Say for a maximum budget of around €2000 what could i get and will it even be worth it further on down the line? I am looking to mine coins such as monero and z cash. However will the cards that are needed to mine them still be useful later on or does it all depend on how well each coin is doing individually as to whether you get success and profitability mining it?

Cheers
