ICO? Not even once.
I wouldn't wait. The new cards will take time and their prices will be high along with low availability.

These days I don't have my finger on the pulse of which cards are the best for mining (as in shortest time to pay for themselves) but I'd suspect the 1070 Ti's are great on the nvidia side. I have even less idea about AMD.


But, what it comes down to is your preference of coins you want to mine. Ethereum, which is memory heavy? Then go something that's fast doing Eth. Or something compute heavy, like Zcash? Then look up hashrates of different cards.

Historically the best cards were the middle range ones, but different countries have different prices so your mileage may vary.


It also depends on your budget and how many cards do you want.
