I have many distributor connections because I buy so many. They just happened to call me first. =) Not cheap but 290 with shipping and all included but they are Sapphire 8G 470 mining ones so decent. Main thing is to get them in my grubby hands.... Most are mining already I have 5 more rigs I am in the process of building to finish the rest out.

i managed to buy 120 470 8g mining only cards and snapped them up. No, I will not sell sorry! I have a feeling it is going to be worse than summer 2017 to get cards this year...
what did you pay and how do people get so many cards jeez lol January 06, 2018, 05:16:01 PM

I slapped together a low budget dual 1080 system with a decent CPU to also mine.
1080s have a good profit/price right now. And a small, in case build is perfect for heating a small room. While turning a dollar.

in my country gpu cards sold fast again depends on eth price. nowadays i am thinking to make rigs with rx560 series gpu cards. its easily foundable and also economic on prices. hash rates not best but they re a good p/p rate.

I am pretty sure the only machines I have that do NOT mix GPU are my single-card machines.
Mix and match AMD vs Nvidia in the same machine hurts stability, mix and match varied manufactures from the same family generally does not.

Hi, I want to build my first mining rig but my head is completely spinning with all of the options or should I say lack of options. GPUs seem to be very difficult to find nowadays and the ones that I can find are limited in quantity at most places to one or two per purchase. So I'm just curious what GPUs have you guys used most recently and why? Where'd you get them from?
Would it really make a difference if I had several different GPUs from different manufacturers in the same mining rig? Also, I saw one video on YouTube where a guy said that most people only build 6 or 8 GPU mining rigs because anything more than that just becomes a pain in the ass with bios updates and crashes. Is it really that much more difficult to have a 12 GPU or 19 GPU mining rig?
