Nvidia for sure.
Price/Performance ratio is higher;
Lower electricity consumption & Higher hash rate.

Until Scrypt asics came along AMD was the king for altcoin mining (Nvidia sucks on scrypt mining but on chained algos AMD sucks).

Not true, Nvidia has a miner people actually want to work on - only reason.

And Price/performance is in the DUMPS. Nvidia rapes you on up front costs, only reason they're worth it at all is power.

so you guys think i should ditch my 280x for 2x 750ti?

Yes you should, but the performance and efficiency increase actually doesn't worth the time you spend selling and buying. The profit is so low actually I did advice you to sell it and stop mining.

i actually hold coins. im not into trading.

so i was planning to mine coins that i think would raise its value after some years.

hey guys i have an r9 280x. im only mining x11 x13 or anything that only gpu can mine.

which would be better and amd or an nvidia card?

nvidia cards are known to have less power consumption
but i never used an nvidia card before so i that know how they perform.

i dont know if what i read was true but it said 750ti with the updated ccminer has better hashrate than a 280x?

would it be better to switch to 2x 750ti?
