They generally go up lineraly, with teh 1070 and 1060 being slightly more efficient than the higher cards. But really it's all about sticker price and longevity. So with a 1060 you might get 25 hash, 1070 50 hash, 1080 75 hash, Ti 100. Although it's not perfect and again the cheaper ones are generally more efficient, but you need more space and auxiliary hardware

The more expensive cards will hold their value better

Cheaper cards will pay themselves back faster unless you get a deal.

Really it's all about finding cheap cards more than anything

1060 6GB or P106-100 6GB GPU's for price/performance/power efficiency.

Suppose i should buy 50% of 1070, 25% of 1060 6gb, 25% 1080ti.

Or 100% of 1070

Or 100% of 1080

How do you think i should distribute my money into buying these GPUs?

Cost for these GPUs in my country are:

1060 6gb = 324$
1070 = 512$
1080 = 572$
1080ti = 837$



Actually those prices are off a bit. Search a bit more & you can get some cheaper Tongue
Me personally I went with 1070s. They were right for me. I've got them to 31.5MH/s at 125watts each, which is better than I'd hoped Smiley As I understand it though unless you mod the BIOS don't get 1080s cause by default they hash at like 4MH/s or something.. The 1080ti is a bit rich for my blood & while I'm not entirely sure what they can be OC'd to, their power usage for the extra few MH didn't seem to make sense to me. For now at least...

Also it depends what you are mining. As I understand it coin like Zcach don't have the same DAG limit, so in that case even 4GB cards would do great for a long time. I got 8GB 1070s because the Ethereum DAG won't get close to that for a couple years, if it doesn't go POS first that is.

Don't just buy the best of the best. Look at at all the cards as a whole, in that it'd probably be better to have more lower power cards than less higher. Make a spreadsheet & put all their stats that matter(power, hashrate, cost), then get the only # that matters: hash/watt & pick the cards based on that.

One last thing. Someone else made a good point that environmental factors play in as well. If you have cheap power etc. I had to get not 1 but 2 solar systems(15 kilowatts) here in Cali where it's 19 cents/KWh otherwise there'd be little point in mining at all.

Your price are too high. If you are in the USA pm me and I'll give you a place u can get them for~ $100 less per.

Give me that deal! lol  Wink

If you are a professional rig with a huge amount of money, you should choose 1060 3GB or P106(Professional Miner Card), these two are the most popular choice in the rig group in China, another choice is 1070. And I assume you want to mine ETH or ETC.

If you want to mine DeepOnion, it will boom soon I think, you should buy a ASIC rig for X13.

Don't choose 1080Ti, you will regret, I really don't know which coin is better for 1080Ti (SIGT maybe, but it will turn to POS soon)

Well, it also depends on your costs of electricity, if for some reason you happen to have free/very cheap electricity I'd recommend going with 1080TI's, otherwise 1070's.
Calculate ROI based on earns - costs (per month) and determine how long will it take until each GPU pays off. This way you will obtaing a rough answer.

There are still many variables to take into consideration such as, motherboard pcie slots, PSU capacity, amount of risers required, etc.

I don't undestand your question :/, how much money do you have?

I will refrase my question

Assuming the cost for GPUs in my country

1060 6gb = 324$
1070 = 512$
1080 = 572$
1080ti = 837$

What should i buy between this?

23x 1070
36x 1060 6gb
20x 1080
14x 1080ti
