At the moment both are not worth it for mining and you will need a really long time for ROI. However the best choice surely is the GTX 1080 Ti which has a much better resale value. You can mine with it for a few months and then in the end sell it for a good price still.

I agree.

If you can take the GTX 1080Ti. If you can wait, maybe wait for new ones.
RX 580 Sapphire Nitro+ are good cards, but I would go for 1080Ti's. You can mine more coins.

According to Hynix, GDDR6 which is what the next gen gaming GPU's are based on, won't enter mass production until 3 months from now. I wouldn't expect to see new GPU's released until the end of July at the earliest.

I do agree current GPU prices are still way too high to justify building a rig at this point. If you want to game and mine on the side, then that is an option if you don't mind the current ROI timeframe.

Give it a good second thought if you really want to buy a dedicated GPU for mining. GPU prices are still rather crap and the payback period is quite long now.

NVIDIA is releasing new cards soon, the main algos for AMD (Ethash, Cryptonight) are receiving not so good news right now.

depends on what coin your going to mine, i would go with the nvidia 1080ti personally, I thought i remember seeing a post some time back that the vegas didnt have a huge advantage over cheaper cards? maybe someone could correct me on that?

mining is long term play though and it's a more conservative play, people say its better to just buy off the market but i would rather have the money i invested in December have gone into cards rather than the market  Cry

None, unless you get them for FREE.
ROI is to long now.

Before: traditional Internet companies' servers were provided by companies such as GuGe and facebook, and they were provided with electricity.

Now have block chain: after each block chain project server is to provide the mill of miners, the consumption of electric power to the miners, the miners obtain token by mill service, is what we say "tokens"

Those who say that mining is a waste of electricity are really enough. Mining is actually the civilian of the server. The traditional Internet server is operated by the company, and the profit is paid to the large company.

It is now available to power miners, who can provide mining services to get paid.

for Eth all thoses cards are good but RX580 its better with the price,
for cryptonight coins Vega its better
equihash coins 1080ti its better

so just see what coin u want and buy for it, there is so sites with alot of benchmarks of thoses cards, and u can see the profits u make with everyone of thoses,

Mining is a long - term affair, very boring, I think which card is stable to choose that card. This saves some valuable time.

Borderless for the People, Frictionless for the Ba
I think 1080ti is a good choice. In the long run, it saves a lot of money on the power cost, and the N card performance is superior.

I'm sure answer depends on:
What are prices you can get those cards?
What is your electricity costs?

Personally I would consider Vega 56 over 64 - cost to power ratio is way better.

I am in a serious doubt and cant make a decision betwen these GPUs RX 580 , Vega 64 , 1080TI . Has anyone got expiriance with all 3 GPUs or atleast with 2 of them which is the one that gives most hashrate and the lowest power consumption. I am interested in RX 580 Hash rate for dual mining similar like ETH+SmartCash and its power consumption , the same thing for vega 64 ETH+SmartCash hashrate and power consumption, for Nvidia 1080TI whats its equihash power consumption and can you dual mine something like Zcash(ZEC)/Equihash+(any other algoritm/coin) similar like ETH dual mining works but insted with Equihash algoritm, or is it just better to mine shitcoins with 1080TI and get huge profits.
