Hello:

The prices you quote for these cards are quite reasonable. How are you able to source them at that price? Here in U.S. these cards are all sold out and aftermarket prices are 2x - 3x the MSRP!

Now took everything you can Cheesy
They are mostly all same, only some has better cooling than others...
It more depends on memory brand.

Exactly right. I'm using Asus STRIX RX 480 with 1150core / 2222memory clock and get 27,5 mh/s as using Claymore's Dual Mining with -dcri 9.

Also working on 55-65C with autofan.

Memory clock increase mh/s more than RX 470/570 and also reduce electricity consumption more than RX 580.

With "same" do you mean in terms of price to performance?

I know that the memory brand is important but as far as I know the memory brand can only be determined after I have already purchased it, right?

I did some research and they say go for 480 or 580 instead of 570:

They even say go with RX480 (if you could actually get them) over RX580.

The RX580s seem to be a bit better if you dual mine.

Hi there,

I can get these cards now or within the next 3-5 weeks.
Pretty much everything else is sold out here in Germany.

Which one would you get (with order if possible since I am not sure if I can still get each one by the time I have collected some answers - thanks)?

I plan to buy 6 of the selected cards for my first 6 GPU rig for mining Ethereum and SIA coin via SimpleMining or EthOS.

470s:
GIGABYTE Radeon RX 470 G1 Gaming OC 4GB (GV-RX470G1 GAMING-4GD) - for 178 €
MSI Radeon RX 470 GAMING X 8GB - for 231€
Is the MSI worth the 50 € price difference compared to the Gigabyte?

480s:
Asus AMD Radeon RX 480 Overclocked 4 GB GDDR5-RAM - for 255 €
Sapphire AMD Radeon RX 480 Nitro 4 GB GDDR5-RAM - for 263 €
Gigabyte AMD Radeon RX 480 G1 Gaming 8 GB GDDR5-RAM - for 260€

570s:
ASUS ROG-STRIX-RX570-O4G-GAMING - for 233 €
SAPPHIRE Radeon RX 570 Pulse 4GD5 - for 208 €
MSI RADEON RX 570 GAMING X 4G - for 209 €

The only 8GB card is the RX480 G1 Gaming but not sure if it does make such a difference.

The price for the RX470 G1 Gaming is actually pretty good I would say, but I have no idea which one would be the best to overclock memory and underclock core to squeeze the best out of each card and which card has the best ROI in terms of price to mining power/power usage.

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
