Hi guys I'm trying to build a mining rig and I can't make a decision yet because Im confused on which card to choose, here is my suggestion, Rx580 8gb vs Gtx1660 Super or ti version, I'm trying to order these cards from AliExpress and I see that those rx580 are cheaper but the watts they draw are high, any one with experience of these cards? Which is better in power saving? Thank you

I would like to ask you fee questions too

1. Are you running on free electricity?
2. What exactly is your budget for this mining setups?

The first thing to worry about is electricity, this will determine the best graphics card for you, if it's free electricity on your end then buy the cheapest graphic cards, mind you the gtx1660 ti are more electricity friendly

GTX 1660 super and the ti brands are still costly, I can get RX series at the range of 60$ each on Alibaba website, though they are used but working perfectly ok, if you have no problem with used cards then go for RX amd cards, you can mine Raven coin and lower the power rate to consume less energy

It depends, if you have free electricity then buy cheap cards because you will make more profits that way but if you are going to pay for electricity it's better to go for less power consuming graphics card and that's where GTX 1660 super comes in

Gtx1660 super or ti version has the highest advantages

1. You can resell for better money later because gtx1660ti and super has the latest architecture

2. Gtx1660ti has better miners support and many Algorithms you can mine too

3. Gtx1660ti watts consuming is lesser than Rx580

The choice is yours, if you have free electricity and you can get RX580 at cheaper price then go for it

How much you pay for electricity in your country/city?

Here, I pay 0.19c USD Kwh, so it's essential for me to have a efficient card, 5700xt and 1660 super / TI are excelent options

To summarize, if you have dirt cheap electricity, like 0.05c I'll probably choose the cheapest cards to buy more, and have more hashrate
But if your electricity is not so cheap, I would buy 1660 TI and have a very efficient system, and easier to resell cards than polaris

GTX 1660ti of cause, it support more Algorithm and it brings good ROI plus it's more energy efficiency than RX580 Cards, the only advantage here is if you have free electricity you will get used RX580 at cheaper price on eBay or gearbest
