Wow, that was fast! Thanks man! PSU-wise I'm well, I got 2 1050 platinum LEPA unites, and 2 1050 Firepower Technology FPS1050-A4M00 that just went to my Nvidia rig (I highly recomend those, they are super...flashy with their red lights but 1050W gold decent quality PSU for 100$? I'm really happy with them. Equihash is rather dissapointing...but I can't mine ethereum anymore after Vitalik Buterin's statements. That's not a world I wanna live in and I won't support it. Maybe a smaller Dagger-Hashimoto one? And any experience with Nicehash? Cause it sounds like the noob path but when a card is not particularly good at one algorithm it does make sense.


I actually don't use Nicehash profit switching miner, I only use their pools, holding BTC is more fun to me, anyways, if you could have at least 33Mh in Ethash Algo you can set this to whattomine. seem's Espanse has a decent profit for today.

So, I was a little drunk and I purchased 3 390x (at good price, apparently I'm good with bargains under the influence, go figure) and I already had 2 390s laying around, so I was thinking of setting them up together in a 5 gpu rig since I don't want to mix them with the fury cards.
Since WhatToMine.com doesn't show these cards and newer cryptos have been popping up I was thinking of just going the nicehash route on that rig, unless there is an altcoin that actually benefits from the Hawaii architecture more than others. What do you guys think?

Here is another online calculator that has R9 390(X) though its for Equihash only.

in ETH it could reach upto 33Mh, however consider a BIG psu for this.
