Hash rate RX580 is better than 1060 in monero, zcash but power consumption 1060 lower than RX580.
Topic: Suggest GPU - page 2. (Read 710 times)
NVIDIA 1060 or RX580, If I choose RX580, U can search for information and compare the hashrate, power consumption and more. Although both have their respective advantages on specific algorithms.
Hi guys,
I`m new to mining, been reading a lot lately to get understanding how it works. I have spare money to invest, looking to build a rig. But my problem is - AMD or nvidia GPU`s? As per current pricing/availability looking at 1060 or RX580 cards - about 15 in total. Why these? To me they look best price/performance/payback time ratio. Which GPU is able to mine wider range of coins? As coin I`m mining increases in difficulty, I would like to switch to other one. But apparently some coins are mined much better on AMD, some on nvidia. Dilemma.
Thanks

I'd say the best choice now is amd vega - and a rig with four of them. It is hard to make it work really stable if there would more vegas then four, though it is possible. You can mine any cryptonight based coins - monero, electroneum and still get like $5-7 per card a day.
Bimmber: Another suggestion that comes to my mind since you want to get 15 cars.
get half AMDs, half Nvidia
You would have to decide how many per rig, calculate Power supply specs/power needed etc. and go for it.

This would be the optimal solution. You would be able to compare your cards side by side and gain more insight this way. If you decide you want to go all in on one or the other you could sell and buy what you want. For now the cards hold their price pretty well. No telling how long that will last though.
Go for amd if you want to just plug and mine ethereum almost all the time and you are relatively new
Go for nvidia if you want to have better profits at the expense of researching niche coins and holding coins till better price for selling
I my self have gone both since on some days nvidia gives better profit and on others its amd , I mostly sell eth mined by amd to pay for bills or to add more cards , sell only coins mined by nvidia when I gain a reasonable profit from them

Sell the ETH for paying the bills.. This reminds me to my yougner days when i sold 50 ETH just to pay the electric bill.. Imagine if I hold this ammount of ETH until today..

Get AMD cards, all my rigs are AMD cards RX 580 and VEGA 64. All perfect.
I have all the RX 580 cards with ETHOS.
RX VEGA 64 cards with Windows 10.

I guess you've done some part of your reading assignments

Nvidia could be a plus when it comes to wide range of coin mining, however it may seems so pricey compared to AMD.
as what other suggested, you may get both, its a wise choice for me as you may consider or foreseen future difficulties, you still have your trump cards waiting for you just in case you may need to switch coins.
Try to find the best price: nVidia 1060(6GB) or AMD RX470, RX570 (4GB)

Don't save your money on PSU. About GPUs. Buy the cheapest and the best, but nobody knows which GPU this is
By no means do I want to hijack your thread, but I've had the similar question. I'm personally not looking to make huge profits and get rich quick but mining as a hobby and hitting ROI would be nice.
I've seen some speak about increase in difficulty in some common alt coins that could phase out AMD cards. I'm still doing a lot of research if it will be all AMD cards or just the lower end cards with low memory (i.e. 3 gig cards). This same logic could be true about NVIDIA cards as well that have 3 gigs.
I'm interested in seeing others responses but wanted to throw in another way to look at the AMD versus NVIDIA angle.

AMDs good for eth and cryptonight algos
Nvidia good for equihash , cryptonight (bit lower than AMDs but still ok) and may be lyra/neoscrypt but has specific tweaking for those 2 algos.
Nvidia I think could be configured easier to consume less Watts, if you care. Usually Nvidia's needs some tweaking to find the sweet spot. May be a bit more versatile in terms of algorithms.
AMD is easier. Mod bios , start and forget but based on my experience consumes a bit more power.
Get whichever is cheapest GPU Either AMD or Nvidia would work out.
Invest in good PSU i my advice.

Could mod please move my thread to correct area. Sorry for a mistake. Thanks.
