Hey,

I do 16 sol/s only with my gtx 970 is that normal? Other people get like 30+?  
My cpu i7-6700k does 30 sol/s?

Your GTX 970 should produce at least 25 sol/s.  
But CUDA cores aren’t that optimised right now.

RX 470 cards are right now the best for mining. Those should run at 40 sols/s right now, and even more in the future. Why are AMD card better for mining that nvidia … that I can’t explain nor understand.

AFAIK, it depends on how they perform solving process therefore AMD’s GPUs fit mining.

Thanks,

Is it still profitable to buy a new amd gpu now when the price drops?
