I agree completely, and the 1060 3g will hash other currencies better than the AMDs, other than Monero. I'm following your lead and looking for the best deals I can find on any flavor of 1060. Just finished my 1st rig today (updating the OS as I type) and ready to fill all the slots (MUHA)
You're lucky that your 1060 has Samsung or Micron memory. Because if you happen to pick-up the Hynix one, you will regret of choosing 1060.
@xyber yes indeed, that's why you should buy from amazon because you can return the product if you're unhappy. That's what I did and I only kept the ones with Samsung memory. I highlighted the models I bought earlier in this thread.

Unfortunately, latest amazon return policy in my area is that you can only return an item if it is unopened. Opened items, you will only get 50% refund.
@xyber where are you located? If within the EU, you should benefit from the same advantages everywhere. There is law for online purchase where you have the right to change your mind and return what you have bought. Amazon is not the only one following that rule.

I am currently in the land of the rising sun. You can check the return policy on Amazon JP page right now to see what I mean.
@xyber ah good place to live but less interesting return policy If you would buy from another country with a beter return policy, wouldn't that be an option? I don't know about import taxes in your country but if they're not stealing your money with taxes, it might be an option.

Not a profitable option. I instead bought GTX1070 since the price of RX580 right now is only a slight difference of the price of GTX1070 I got.
Both micron and samsung gtx1070 are both produce similar hashrates.
Does anyone have a benchmark for the 1050ti? I did plan to but X2 1070 but at £400 each they don't seem like the best option when I can nearly buy X2 1060 for same price.
Depending on the hash rate of the 1050ti maybe it's worth getting
@3characterslong the RX580 has a better hashrate than the GTX 1060 but is more expensive and needs more power. If you get a GTX 1060 with Samsung memory, you could get 23MH/S for 200$ (= 8.69$ per MH/s) while a 580 will get you 30MH/s for 280$ (= 9.33$ per MH/s + more power costs)

The Sapphire Nitro+ 580 4gb Elpida is a great card. About 2-3 months ago I picked up a handful for about $230 each. Wish I bought more for the 30 MH/s they are getting.
Could you tell me where you found the BIOS mod for the Sapphire Nitro + Rx580 4GB to get 30 MH / s in Ethereum? I only get 25 MH / s by modifying the speed of the memory with MSI AfterBurner.
just finished building my first rig: ROG Strix Z370-E 2x 750W PSU 4x EVGA GeForce 1070 ti 1x Intel i7-8700 4.3Ghz turbo boost 8GB HyperX PC2400 DDR4
So i've been burning the rig in, mining, testing the waters.. figuring out whattomine.
I've looked at a couple of different algorithms, but Ethash seems to be where my rig can get most bang for my buck. it'll pay for itself in about 1.5 years if my calculations are correct.
Using the EVGA OCX utility i've slowly, increasingly, overclocked the graphics' processor / gpu memory - until i found a breaking point (miner would complain about gpu failures)
ok, so with gpu / memory OC'd at 1870 (+185)/ 4550 (+750) MHz respectively, at a 65% power target, i'm able to squeeze anywhere between 30-32 MH/s / GPU - total 120-125 MHs on 120Watts/GPU; Total system draw is roughly 600watts at the wall.
I tried mining with ethminer but for some reason it was taxing the system's cpu (i7). Ultimately i decided to go with claymore's miner because it is just using the gpus and getting the same hash rate if not better than ethminer.
Checking up on the vitals, the GPUs are each at 40 deg C, constant. they don't feel warm to the touch. But they are _at_ or over 99% utilized - constantly. I've had the rig mining like this for a couple of days now and i'm starting to get a bit concerned that i may have to call on the three year limited EVGA warranty sooner than 3 years.
For this to be profitable, i would need to run the rig 24x7x365 at this configuration for years to come.
so i have the following questions - seeking some guidance and hopefully a little validation
Can the GPUs take it or will they fry early at this rate?
What are some of the pitfalls i should be looking out for?
Should i be dialing it down, make less profit, but reduce hw taxation to say 90%?
If anyone would feedback some of their thoughts on this overall setup - is it over-taxed, any red flags... what can i do better?
im running 6 msi rx580's and while undervolting them im getting between 28 MH/S and 31 MH/S, on ethereum, and like 850 MH/s while dual mining for decred
So i've been burning the rig in, mining, testing the waters.. figuring out whattomine.
I wouldnt mine what gives you the most hashrate or "whattomine" Mine the coin with the most potential in the future. So lets say ETH, right now it might say hey you will pay off in 1 year and you get xxx profit a month but if you get 1 ETH and its worth 2k in 1 year... well you get the point. Not that ETH is the best but point your power towards the best team and technology with alot of growth in the future. Rig sounds awesome, should be fine for a long time at cool temps like that. Its designed to run at 100% as in that 100% might really be 80% its just designed to run in a specific way and under perform for longevity.. Like when your iphone battery says 5% left it really has 20% left they just calculate it correctly as not to run it down into a reducing longevity/efficiency number. So engineers test parts to a max of say 100% but then make the new consumer 100% just 80% of what their peak was for longevity.
