Topic: Pls help me decide (Read 309 times)
personally i would choose the gtx 1660 super even if it has only 6 gb of ram it is enough for most altcoins is newer / more modern and maybe it consumes a little less energy
580s consume more electricity than 1660 super and their hashpower is the same, I will surely go for the 1660 super because they generate less heat and more efficient than AMD rx580.
Now these video cards are very expensive and they are already outdated, and after the end of ethereum mining, they will lose in mining to modern video cards. Now is a bad time to buy, and after the price cuts, I would choose modern video cards.580s consume more electricity than 1660 super and their hashpower is the same, I will surely go for the 1660 super because they generate less heat and more efficient than AMD rx580.

I heard ETH is going away but I still have interest in mining coins for 2024 sake so I will hold every coins I'm going to make starting from now, which one is the best?
i think is similiar result in profit with differential algo that support, while nvidia is easier to handle, and some people said, nvidia has longer lifespan compared amd, which is i experienced this in polaris series aka rx 400/500, thats gpu build for value card not highend device, other amd series like tahiti & vega consider high end card
and tend to be longer lifespan

I would choose 1660 super
Easier to overclock, only memory clock and power limit, 15 minutes you can have your card running
6Gb is enough until early 2024
ETH delayed again the difficulty bomb until July 2022, so there's time to make some money
1660 consumes less power and generate less heat
Just be sure to not overpay the gpu

coins have varying lower limit on gpu gb size needed, i'd stick to 6gb+ cards. google "dag size calculator". as a newb that learns quickly, grab a 1660 super. they’re reasonably priced and will get you 30MH/s each.
Between a gtx 1660 super and rx580 8gb which one is good for 2022 mining? I heard ETH is going away but I still have interest in mining coins for 2024 sake so I will hold every coins I'm going to make starting from now, which one is the best?
Wait for news from Ethereum developers in January 2022. A profit of $ 1.5 per day from a video card will not allow you to accumulate a lot of coins. The gtx 1660 super uses less power and I would prefer to buy this graphics card, but not at current prices.For some reason, it seems to me that next year there will be a massive sale of mining equipment.
You quickly forgot the time when this profit was less than 20 cents, and many miners turned off their farms and sold video cards.

i think is similiar result in profit with differential algo that support, while nvidia is easier to handle, and some people said, nvidia has longer lifespan compared amd, which is i experienced this in polaris series aka rx 400/500, thats gpu build for value card not highend device, other amd series like tahiti & vega consider high end card
and tend to be longer lifespan
What? You can´t say this, it depends from GPU to GPU. My RX6600XT´s running with 15% fan and 48°C. Nvidia RTX cards with GDDR6X have sometimes vram overheat problems.
My old RX570 rigs run now for over 4years without problems, and my Nvidia P106 rigs also.
No joke i wonder how fmz89 explains all the R9 290 / 390 some of which have been mining since 2013..... And yet fails to see how many 30XX cards will fail due to extremely high temps on GDDR6X.

I would always go for the newer GPU architecture when possible,same hash rate but better efficiency from the GTX 1660 Super.There is not much to think about,6 GB is still good for some time to come as been said until 2024 and even if ETH mining goes away (which I highly doubt it) the 1660 S can perform better in RVN mining and with less power consumption,so this is better compared with the RX 580,that 580 has an old 2016 or 2017 architecture don't remember now.
It doesn't matter anymore since ETH pow mining won't even last long till DAG file reach 6GB so yes 1660s with 6gb vram are good buy for many other altcoins than AMD cards, I believe that Nvidia cards supports more algorithm than AMD, the only AMD that's better is HBM2 memory AMD cards like Vega 56 When you have the right RX580 they can consume less than a 1660 super with the same hashrate. I have a XFX RX580 (hynix) consume 66 Watt versus my 1660 super wich consumes 72 watt. But my Micron Saphire nitro RX580 consume around 100 watt. This is measured in HiveOS.
I hope you measure that from wall? No rx580 can mine crypto at 66watt that's fake, use watt meter to measure the electricity consumption from wall, only 1660s consume 60watts from wall not rx580 As i said i took the values from the HiveOS software. I know it's not the real consumption but if the RX580 is taking 66Watt and the 1660s is consuming 71Watt the RX580 is consuming less energy although its not its real value.
