BUILD AN ETHEREUM MINING RIG
GRAPHIC CARDS (GPUS) FOR MINING
When it comes to picking GPUs, you want the select the best bang for the buck. You’re looking for something with high hash rate, low cost, and low power usage. You can start with as little as 1 GPU or as much as 7 GPUs within one rig. Normally you see 5-6 in a mining rig as 7 is incredibly hard to make stable.
Below are the best GPUs for mining Ethereum. Listed from best to worst considering hash rate and power consumption.
Radeon RX Vega 64 – 33 MH/s using 200 watts <- The Best GPU for Mining
Radeon RX Vega 56 – 31 MH/s using 190 watts
GeForce GTX 1080 TI – 32 MH/s using 200 watts
Radeon Rx 580 – 25 MH/s using 175 watts
Radeon Rx 480 – 24 MH/s using 170 watts
Geforce GTX 1070 – 27 MH/s using 200 watts
Radeon Rx 570 – 22 MH/s using 125 watts
Radeon Rx 470 – 21 MH/s using 120watts
Geforce GTX 1060 – 20 MH/s using 110 watts
Radeon R9 290x – 28 MH/s using 280 watts
Be interesting to see how the rigs out there handle the switch to stake for Ethereum.
I guess they just go mine a different coin.
