Some tips on cryptomining

Would 3 480's do better than 4x470's

no.

I'm doing 27.5 mh/s on 470's. Multiple by 4 = 110 mh/s. I don't know of any 480 that could do 36.6 mh/s in order to get 3 of them hashing at 110 mh/s. Not possible imo.

true ....waiting on the 580's

Again - if you not on a waiting list you going to wait forever.

Nvidia equivalent?

Nvidia equivalent?

GTX 1070.

Edit: not equal, better hashing power, at a costly price though.

1060 worse i assume ?

Thanks

So what im seeing is i can see a decent profit after 12 months with 2 gpus(2x580s)

Fury seems good as well

Yip,

Single 1080ti does pretty good?

Have 2 on its way gonna test those mofos out.
Will kill ROI time so won't recommend them.

Wait now i see how this works

ROI is return on investment. How much you get back, versus what you put in.

So if a 1080ti was R10,000 then how long to make back your R10,000 + electricity usage. Plus profit. If you spend R20k, it's takes that much longer to get your cash back. That's why the 470/480/570/580 are so popular. They are comparatively cheap compared to the nVidia cards at a similar performance level.

And practically unobtainium. Spoke to a guy that runs a local hardware shop, and he said there were three people in today asking for AMD cards, all wanting to use them for mining rigs. He said at least three months before he will have stock available, and already a waiting list.

Conversely. I walked into a computer shop on Saturday looking to buy some thermal paste, lo and behold, on the shelf, sat brand new shiny MSI RX570 and RX 580s - I resisted the temptation...

Haha! Go figure! You should buy them and resell at a criminal markup

Lol, the store beat me too it - the price was already criminal.

So is mining with gpu alone better or cpu and gpu better?

Don't bother mining your cpu.

Nah i mean mine with gpu&cpu?

Same answer. Not worth it. My i5-2500K @4.0GHz (admittedly not the bees knees) does about R5/day. That's less than the electricity it's using to do the work. Not worth it.
