All you need is pci-e slots and dualcore CPU. Quadcore CPU might help with more than 4 GPU.

That helps a lot!

But man, it's not going to be easy to find that new AMD card, it is not gonna be easily available for $200 either.

Anymore suggestions for this $200 budget? Any nVidia graphics card suggestion?

Guys, I still haven't received the answer to my last question:

Quote from: Raja_MBZ on June 10, 2016, 09:59:27 AM

Does the specification of computer system affects the only-GPU mining? See, I am planning to purchase a whole system, CPU along with GPU, just for mining. Otherwise I've a good laptop to spend my life on.

Other than that, I've decided to purchase AMD RX 480 once it comes to my country, probably after a week of two. I've checked my rate of kWh and it comes out to be $0.15 per unit. How much will I be able to save out in a day while mining Ethers with a single AMD RX 480? If it provides me a good result, I'd definitely plan to purchase like at least 4 more.

here it seem that all you guys are stealing energy or something, but electricity cost matter more than anything else for me

Amph, how much are you actually paying for kWh?

around 0.26, i know it's freaking high, but it's still profitable, so i keep mining

my high electricity is the only reason why i can not build a big farm and i'm here confined with 1 rig only

i need to find a way to have cheap electricity, maybe purchasing from a private via rental of a local

Ok, now I understand all those hash/ W posts. I just changed my provider and saved 0.02, still 0.1 though.

I'm looking for free spin.

You can try amd r9 gpu check it here.. https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=r9+amd+gpu

This is i thin the cheapest or look for other amd model gpu if you choose amd its a chipest one than intel..

If I purchase R9 280 Dual x 3GB DDR5, what hash rate should I expect for mining of ethers?

Around 20.5 Mh/s decreasing a little with every epoch change.

That looks quite good to me. Does the specification of computer system affects the only-GPU mining? See, I am planning to purchase a whole system, CPU along with GPU, just for mining. Otherwise I've a good laptop to spend my life on. The last time I purchased any computer system I remember was in 2002, and in those days, I remember I bought the Pentium 4 CPU for like $600 of that time, old memories. Tongue

So I can purchase a bad configuration computer (somewhat like core2quad) and put on a good graphics card on it for GPU mining, that'd work good, right?

290s are hard to find and very overpriced used. Not to mention beat on. I would not want to buy a used card that has already been mined on for 3+ years.

The 300 series are power hogs.

I suggest you wait to see what the 400 series will do.

i would wait for the 480 at this point, even if you find them a bit power than the target price, let's say 250 or 275, it still worth the money than any old genration card

here it seem that all you guys are stealing energy or something, but electricity cost matter more than anything else for me

i would not buy any old cards at the moment, ever

wait three weeks and buy the AMD rx 480 for $199 when it is releases. It should be the best bang for the buck and lower power consumption than current generation cards.

That is what I will do. The power consumption will be much lower than the 380x and hash faster.

Right now, R9 290 or R9 390 - but expect high power consumption for the 30MH ballpark both can manage.

Skip the X varients - more expensive, don't hash any faster, eat more power - unless you get one HECK of a deal on one.

R9 280X or R9 380X are fairly good alternatives if you can't find 290/390 cards where you are at.

End of the month, depending on availability and "early adopter premium" pricing, the RX 480 MIGHT be a good choice - but I'd not count on it 'till more likely late July or sometime in August to get down to the $199 MSRP on sites that actually have them in stock.

I think radeon RX 480 is best choice, waiting some one review it, the electric cost very low.

ICO? Not even once.

Good luck getting a 480 for $200.

Which GPU to purchase with $200 for Ethereum GPU mining? Any ideas? That's all what I'd like to spend right now on GPU.

R9 290(X) or Radeon RX 480

How am I doing it wrong? That's not how I write the option as I put it in my bat file, I put that here cause it's easier to write on the forum.

All I can get is 25 mh with genoil miners, with a global work of 16384 local work 256. other miners are slower.

You're doing it wrong.

Hmmm... you tried that another miner?

R9 290 as waiting will make profits thinner, you can snag a 290 for about 200 bucks and the 390 will run 300. R9 480 will be $200 when it gets released but it may be difficult to get in the beginning.

I get 25mh on my R9 290 units with proper settings.

You are doing something wrong. 290 should do 29MH easily.
