I just bought my gaming/ mining pc.
At this moment there is no good software to mine Zcash with an NVIDIA, right?
Is it wise to sell my GTX1080 and buy 3x RX480 to mine Zcash or just wait for good software like Claymore for NVIDIA, Zcash to come out?
At this moment I mine with NicheHash miner V 1.7.3.5 and make € 1,7 a day.
What is the best for me to mine and witch software I must use?
it will still be better to sell and buy 3 480s if you want to mine… and besides 480 in crossfire is as good as a 1080 for gaming, so it should be a no-brainer to sell it and get 3 480s
the 1080 will really never perform that well, at least no where close to as well as 2 480s, even 1 480 now is better for mining ZCash or ETH
should be able to get 180 h/s on each, approx 540 h/s on 3 of them
with a 1080 your looking at an insulting 100-120 h/s? not even sure as I stopped mining with my 980tis last week.
i like sapphire nitros and xfx cause they have the dual bios switch so you can easily flash one of the bios and have the other on stock OC settings.
I dont like powercolor due to bad quality mosfests, asus is usually overpriced (but also a top choice if not priced more) and msi dont have dual bios, but also a good choice due to good fans
Woow 540 h/s nice:heart_eyes:
I hope my asus Z170 Pro gaming can handle 3x480…
With my 1080 I get 80- 95 h/s on WIndows with Silentarmy. But with the algorithm Lyra2REv2, 50MH/s that’s better than a RX480…
I think I would go for 3x XFX RX 480 RS 8GB GDDR5 TRUE OC and hope i can sell my 1080 for € 650.
you should be ok with 3 GPUs on a Z170 board, trouble seems to come with 5 or 6 GPU’s.
GTX might be better for some coins like LBRY, but is there any real profit/point in mining it?
I see people buying 450$ 1070s and mining ZCash with them now… and i just laugh at what a bad idea that was… but maybe they want to use them for LBRY or something else… which well LBRY price has been bombing anyway… so thats why i wonder if its even profitable today, im not sure, i dont bother to check with ZCash and ETH mining available
yeah troll is right, i missed that, do not get hte RS, get the GTR versions, either will do I have both the 1288 and the 1338 (2 of each)… you might get lucky and get a higher ASIC on the 1338, but honestly not sure if thats how they pick the 1338 cards or not, I think my 1338 's have slightly higher asics than the 1288
