Best video card for bitcoin mining 2014
I've updated the post and done a few fixes. But the main conclusion is still the same - the best card for now seems to be RX 8Gb Mhz. So, it's my choice. What video card is the best choice for mining now? I will review only the new actual graphic cards, that you can buy now and have a full warranty. The prices I will take from the "Newegg. So, here is the list of the cards, I will compare I tryed to find the most cheap model, but good: That's why I have chosen these cards.
We need to buy not the cheapest model, but the model, that will have a good overclocking capability, potentionaly the long life and good cooling without extra loudness. I think, these cards fit these criteria. The most profitable algorithms for the cards. R9 is still a good choice, especially with discounts, if you have not expesive electricity.
Let's build the test rig with it! So we have W in reserve. We'll earn with this rig about 0. And after 5 months 5. For the compare I will take a look on the rig with GTX for the same price. It will look like that: Total power consumption - W. That's the end of my review. Because the new cards RX and RX have a terrible ref. MSI Gaming X model have a lower price, better cooling and functionality vs ref.
But anyway I advice you to buy not it, but 8GB model, it will have more perspectives with its fast memory. Nvidia GTX is a very good card with amazing power efficiency - it consumes the same average W as RX , but it is a lot more powerful. The good thing is that you can set up more hashing power with less power consumption on every rig. And also keep in mind, this Nvidia card have very good hashrates on other algorythms x2-x3 more than RX And don't forget, there are a lot of hints, mods, modded bioses for the cards, so you can expect higher hashrates or lower power consumption.
I've chosen the best video card for mining for today. For the same price, even a bit more, we can buy only 3 GTX for our rig. It will look like that:. So, the rig with RX 8GB is more profitable with the less cost. But the rig with GTX have the opportunity for adding 2 cards yet.
Ohh, sorry, I forgot to write about R9 Fury X. And also I made a few mistakes. I will fix it soon Sorry again. I've updated the post and done a few fixes. But the main conclusion is still the same - the best card for now seems to be RX 8Gb Mhz. So, it's my choice. What video card is the best choice for mining now? I will review only the new actual graphic cards, that you can buy now and have a full warranty.
