Hello I'm currently mining Zcash with my gtx 1060 but im looking forward into it to get a new GPU to mine ETH or ETC.
What do you think is ETH going to be nice in 2018 and which GPU should i get?
Hi!
You may try to take on more gtx 1060 6gb or try to source some amd rx470 or rx570 cards.
With proper bios update they will be the best choice for ETH or ETC.

I'd pick up a second 1060, they have the 3gb for around 199.00 then wait for the release of the new Nvidia line hopefully this spring.  There are 2 things that happen with the new series release. 

1.  Nvidia releases cards that crush the current cards (ie.  1070 is slightly better than the 980ti). 

2.  The price of both Nvidia and AMD cards drop considerably shortly there after. 

Just a thought....

RX 580, get the Sapphire ones, MSI gamers series (avoid the ARMOR OC) and Powercolor Devil and golden sample.

AMD VEGA 64 is a MSRP price right now on Newegg (sapphire).

For ETH or ETC, you should purchase AMD RX series: Vega 64, Vega 56, RX 580, RX 470.
If your budget is big enough, you could buy state-of-the-art Vega 64, otherwise, RX580 is good choice, it is cheaper now.

Some say getting an AMD card like the RX 580 for ETH is really good and if you have money to spare getting a Vega 56 is 64 is much better.
