I have been mining CryptoCurrencies for more than two years, but lately the mining process is being more and more difficult because huge number of miners are getting in, therefore , in order to make your mining profitable your mining rig should have a good (if not the best) Graphic processing units.
During the last two years I have used several kinds of Graphic processing units, So I am going to mention here the best GPUs that I have tried:
Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070
Comparing to it's low price and low power consumption, the GTX 1070 GPU is the most profitable miner.
Core Clock: 1,506MHz
Memory: 8GB GDDR5
Memory Clock: 8Gbps
Power Connectors: 1 x 6-pin
Power Draw: 150W
Outputs: 3 x DisplayPort 1.4, 1 x HDMI 2.0, DL-DVI
NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti
The GTX 1080 Ti is the most powerfull GPU of all time, but it is an expensive GPU and its power consumption is high comparing to the GTX 1070, therefore I would prefer the GTX 1070.
Core Clock: 1,480MHz
Memory: 11GB GDDR5X
Memory Clock: 11GHz
Power Connectors: 1 x 6-pin; 1 x 8-pin
Power Draw: 250W
Outputs: 3 x DisplayPort 1.4, 1 x HDMI 2.0
AMD RX Vega 64
The vega 64 is very powerfull for mining, but take into consideration that it's power consumption is relatively high.
Core Clock: 1,156MHz
Memory: 8GB HBM2
Memory Clock: 800MHz
Power Connectors: 2 x 8-pin
Power Draw: 210W
Outputs: 3 x DisplayPort 1.4, 1 x HDMI 2.0
AMD Radeon RX Vega 56
The Vega 56 is the old version of Vega 64. It is a powerful mining rig which can be so profitable if the electricity prices in your region are low , as it's power consumption is so high.
Core Clock: 1,156MHz
Memory: 8GB HBM2
Memory Clock: 800MHz
Power Connectors: 2 x 8-pin
Power Draw: 210W
Outputs: 3 x DisplayPort 1.4, 1 x HDMI 2.0
I never get into mining crypto like this way. It's so foward from where I am. I was mining with only CPU. Mining cryptocurrencies was suposed to be simple, but isn't. I've tried to setup my own rig, but it is expensive and a lot of work to do. So, I give up and start to trade. Easier for me! =).
Nice post. See ya!
yeah , mining is getting more and more difficult , so if you are mining with a cpu it would not be profitable , maybe you will be paying for electricity consumption more than you earn :)
I was waiting to get profit if the coin that I was mining get a raise in price. I mine just for fun and to see what happens, to figure out if it works. I was mining ETN with CPU, only when I can use eletricity at no cost.
YEAH , MINING IS ALWAYS FUN ! EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT EARNING :)
