An other option is to donating your GPU computing power (and get MEDIC coins rewards) to support protein folding at home project of Stanford University through MEDIC Coin's folding at home initiative.

Or use the LONG_standing Curecoin and FoldingCoin "shared folding" option.
Is "Medic coin" even up and running yet?

RX 470 does NOT pull 25Mhash+ on ETH on 80 watts much less 60 - more like 100-120 in actual usage.
I've got a FEW of those.
GPU-Z does NOT give accurate power draw information, according to my wattmeter, even after factoring in for PS efficiency.

They're not rare - they've just been out of production for quite a while so NEW ones are rare.

I vote for RX470 (60-80W for 25-30 on ETH with straps mod). Isn't it actually the rarest GPU ?

Marketing prices are crazy but is this the new norm for prices even the manufactures like evga where you can buy cards well when lucky are charging more than before so are manufactures suggested retail prices now higher

I agree. Buying some models of GPU would have been better than investing in gold within the last year.

Hash per Watt: 1070 Ti > 1080 Ti > 1070 > 1060 > 1080.

Dollar per hash is all over the board right now with market pricing well above MSRP.

1080 ti dominates with the widest selection of coins and longevity predictions at the moment.

What about the P104-100 models ? Some people here have started buying them and are getting pretty impressive hash rates.

I did some research on these and they were getting them to 40+ Mh/s with 180 watt. So that would be the most efficient one. I only didn't find where to buy them, nor a price for them.

That is POOR efficiency for ETH - I see a bit over 100 watts on STANDARD 1070 models to get 31 Mhash/sec as of RIGHT NOW.
Pushing power higher doesn't help hashrate, as they are DEFINITIVELY memory limited.

On Zcash, 1070 ti cards generally can exceed 4.4 sol/watt on a SUSTAINED basis - 460 sol/sec at 104 watts - don't just look at the "best figure" as that's going to be misleading as all of the current ZCash miners do a "instant check" on power draw and sometimes catch it in a "momentary DIP" that is not representative of what the card was actually drawing for most of the several second period between readouts by the miner.
This isn't a "miner" issue, as Nvidia-SMI does the same thing.

The best figure I've seen for any 1080 ti model was a bit over 4.1 on a "sustained" basis - 620 hash at 150 watts - but I could see one managing a bit better with more work on "tweeking" done.

Those figures are using EWBF - depending on the card and the settings, you might seem more out of DSTM or Bminer (I don't do Zcash mining on Windows though except for ONE gaming machine that normally runs Nicehash).

Out of the box is where I live

There are a couple of them on P104-100 on Aliexpress and I have requested some prices from B2B providers too. If you can buy such a card for less than 600$, it's probably a very good deal.

1070Ti can get like 4.3 Sol/W.

on 1080 ti i am getting anywhere from 4.3 to 4.9.

In terms of efficiency, that is hashrate per kilowatt-hour, which GPU is the best?
Has anyone tried the new Radeon RX Vega 64?

Haven't done any mining but I might invest some on a mining rig although I might mine an altcoin and not bitcoin.

The AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 is the most recent GPU from AMD that just commands mining. Stock, it can mine Ethereum at 33 MH/s utilizing around 200 watts however with a touch of tweaking, the hash rate can be as high as 41 MH/s utilizing as meager as 135 watts! This card is just a creature. They are taking off the racks so ensure you get yours when you can.

ethereum is a fork of ethereum classic.

wrong section

how is this the wrong section? this is the altcoin mining section... hence OP can ask qs regarding GPUs here. bruh...

It totally depend on what you want to mine. There are n number of GPU’s mining, which cannot even accumulate the total cost if added all alt coins together. You can check NVidia as it is most preferred and usually every coin can be mined through it.

1080ti currently. They do suck a lot of power though but they do a lot of work to make up for it.

I have yet to see an 1080 do better than MATCH the 1070 ti on hashrate when both are mining at "max efficiency" - since the 1080 normally sells at a PREMIUM of about 10% to 1070 ti pricing, there is NO WAY the 1080 is "most efficient".

1080 ti when you factor in "total system costs" doesn't price out all that bad per hash vs the 1070/1070ti/1080 - they're ALL very close - but it does lose a little even at the total system level on efficiency vs the 1070 ti and good 1080 models.

It's HARD to beat 460 hash on 106 watts for the card and typically around 10 watts of "system" draw per card from a 6 card riser system.

Those calculations are made for specific algos and valued on RoI with same budged i've counting Price of GPU in my region energy and HashRate

My gpus for fallowing algos:

Equilhash Msi Gaming x 1080
NeoScrypt: gtx 1050
CryptoNight Rx Vega 64/56(they are nearly same in prices and all rest)
Nist5: Msi Gaming x 1080

Imo 1080 ti are bad its just very very overpaid

Did someone tested bitmain Deep Learning Accelerating Card SC1 600$ ai. card with 16/32 GB?
Cant finde how much hash this card can really do.

Does it even exist for sale yet, and does it do integer operations at all?
If it's like the "tensor" cores intended for AI usage on the Titan V, it's going not going to be mineable AT ALL on.

As a minimum, it probably needs MINING SOFTWARE written for it, as I'm pretty sure it doesn't support OpenCL.

QuintLeo is right!

1070ti !
