wait for rx 480 like I am doing..  Wink

From what I read if power consumption isn't an issue then the 380's /90's would be better?

I'm only repeating this from what I've recently read tho....

1070 is better than both, check the forum for etheruem a guy is pushing it to 37MH, which is crazy, for only 140w or around that

and before the random guy go out saying shit like "$600 is trash"...no you can find it at $429 on newegg...

currently 1070 is only running under ubuntu to get the 37mhs.

well not a big deal, you can create a vm with windows and install there all the shitcoin that you want to solo mine, if you need their wallet, then just point your miner to your virtual machine

Well, a big deal for me. Once ago I tried to install Ubuntu on an USB stick, and it didn't worked. The taskbar even disappeared... Nothing better than the battlefield-tested Windows 7 !

Hi all.

Had a good read through but still unsure about which gpu to choose that's readily available.

I've been looking at the r9 range......

Any suggestions that are still in production?

Been looking at the r9 380x but unsure atm.

Any pointers would be great.

Budget of around £200 per card.

Cheers
