Rx 580 they coining it nicely for the price.

I get 900hs on my 4gb cards.

@GTX Gaming... I've got 4 old desktops lying around, I'm planing on upgrading the PSU bumping the ram to 4gb and sticking 2 x RX 580 8GB in each... hopefully worth while..... Just finding those rx-580..:wtf:

can you guys recommend me a GPU?
looking to upgrade....currently on 2 X 570 and 1 1070.

Any substantial Difference between the 1070 and 1070ti.
the Ti being slightly more expensive , worth the extra bucks ?

 

[bar1]

been thinking what if instead of investing +- R8000 on a 1070
i get up upgrade for my old PC and mine XMR a bit....

Xmr is not great on 1070, better to mine hush or zcl on it, can convert earnings if you really need xmr.

I mean instead of getting an 1070 i should maybe upgrade my 8 years old PC.

currently my 1070 is mining Zclassic at $4.78 a day.
i believe the ryzen can make a similar profit?

Yes can mine a bit of coin, but I woild not degrade a cpu by mining with it. Gpus can take the mining load, cpus will degrade overtime. Maybe cpu got better, but back in days chips degraded overtime. My old amd chip is so degraded runs 50c idle now lol

@Gtx Gaming

How did you manage to get your account approved on coinbase? I can't do jack as it keeps saying buy and sell is not available in my country

 

[Bananoe]

the Asus 1070 strix a good buy ?
and are OC cards worth it ? or are they being pushed to the max ?

Correct you cannot buy or sell via coinbase.

Just use the account to deposit from NH, then send to luno or somewhere else.

OC cards not worth extra price, but they are good. Mainly downclock the cards anyway.
