What graphics card is needed for mining?

What kind of graphics card is needed for mining, I need some help)

[Lubruselu 2803]

Nvidia GTX 1070 i thought this are the most used and the best miner. It gives the miner 30 MH/s and it has very low power consumption

[febriyana 934]

I think that is depend on your budget.

For now the fastest and efficient for mining is using ASIC miner like Antminer, Innosilicon, etc. Every ASIC miner have different algorithm. Like Antminer S17+ only support algorithm SHA-256. Example coin with algorithm SHA-256 is Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Peercoin.

But for GPU, Graphic Card i recommended is from AMD. If you need more cheap Nvidia.

I'm not expert that's much about mining but I see mostly of people's are recommended to be using this NVIDIA graphics card, that's what's I know

A good place to start could be https://whattomine.com/

You will find many cards listed and calculate earnings for each one of them based on the mining algorithm / coin being mined

Do they act as faucets or they giveyou information about coins

I really don't understand what are you talking about. This thread is about graphic cards used in mining.

Why not visit the site? I think its quite clear, i think 🙂

NVIDIA GeForce GTX1070 is best graphics for mining. It has more than 30mh/s mining power. It is also save power. But its quite expensive with range $600- $1000. Other best graphic is  is AMD Radeon RX580 which you can get for $350.

Thanks for answering, I appreciate it!

There are several graphics cards that I recommend to mine Bitcoin.
• AMD Radeon RX 480
• Nvidia Geforce GTX 1070
• Nvidia Geforce GTX 1060
• AMD Radeon RX 570
• AMD Radeon RX 580
Maybe this is only a part, but in my opinion this is the best that can be a reference for those of you who want to do mining.

Thanks for giving me useful information. Is there a difference in profit between AMD and Nvidia cards? What is your suggestion? 

[iloveyobit 6599]

There are no limited equipment or have a name, the summary is that the more powerful your equipment has the more mining power you have and of course your profit will increase, this is all you are interested in knowing

[vivek jain 308]

The AMD Radeon RX580 is one of the most outstanding GPUs for mining, so much so that it is a bit of a victim of its own success, as it can sometimes be difficult to find. it offers an too good hash rate of 29 mh/s while also keeping the electricity consumption low. and it is cheaper than the GTX 1070.

depend on how much budget you have to make purchase a good graphics card. if you have more than 700$- 1300$ then you may try Nvidia Geforce 1080 or higher such as 2080 model. under 1K$ you can buy Radeon Vega 64 and with that you will able to get 4K h/s for mining monero. which is quite high profitable.

I am using AMD. both cards are awesome. For ether mining , Nvidia card is good. for monero AMD is preferable

[scorpiali 5626]

When you search for a graphics card you want to mine using your personal computer and i really don't suggest you to do that because you can broke your computer and in final you will got nothing

As for my knowledge the Bitcoin antiminier S9 and other devices connect the computer for working and mines the bitcoins. The alcorisiam 256 software is used for the mining. This is very heavy and used more power for mining and people used heavy storage and other system for mining. 

[neurolicious 462]

I run 1080TI's with ETHlargement Pill on my ETH operation. Getting steady 55mh/s per card. These card are much more energy efficient than the ones listed above, and I like the idea of having less cards and more hashpower. Absolute cheapest way would be to look at RX series cards. What ever you do just don't use RTX as theyre super weak for mining.
Also do not use something like Minergate or Nicehash as they take a decent chunk of your profits. Set up your own bat file with Phoenix miner(my recommendation).
Good luck on your venture.

Nvidia GTX 1080 or better will be enough. But you must know that mining can lead to graphic card breakage. So if possible buy more graphic cards, but with less performance.

AMD is profitable for Ether mining only? I read that ethereum will switch to POS soon. So is there any other coin that profitable for AMD cards? I check Nvidia card is expensive.

You're welcome. For profit, I myself cannot give an explanation. Because I have never used all the graphics cards above. So that I do not know the difference in profits obtained. Sorry friend.

Lol, so you take the information from someone and share it. Where do you find the information, Man? I will compare them based on the user experience.

That GPU card is good to start mining, but you need to have more budget to buy those cards because I heard that high-end cards would cost you big money to buy. You can see the difference profit in:

 

https://www.nicehash.com/profitability-calculator

https://whattomine.com/

 

All you need to do is select the card that you have, or you want to buy, change the electricity cost, and then you can click the calculate to see the difference.

[CryptoDJ 712]

Graphic cards are not good for bitcoin mining anymore. But you can mine altcoins using grsphics cards and exchange them to bitcoins. AMD are best for Ethereum ETH, Ethereum Classic ETC, Musicoin. Nvidia cards are good for Signatum SIGT, Zcash ZEC, Zencash, Libry credits, etc. I'd avoid AMD at this time because Ethereum is going from POW stage to POS and will be not mineable pretty soon.

 

Almost all these cards are good in regard to price/performance: GTX1050ti, GTX1060, GTX1070, GTX1080ti.

Thank you very much! I will check it and see what card fits my budget. I will back to you later to discuss my pick. Do you have a mining experience?

Not true. Extensive gaming has much heavier toll on GPU than mining. With mining the voltages of VRM stay steady throughout the mining process except with few alternating algorithms. With gaming the voltages shift rapidly which is much worse for GPUs lifespan. 10 hours of gaming is way worse for the GPU than 24 hours of mining. With mining the only thing that can kill a card is high temperatures. As long as you manage the heat you will be okay for a good 10 years. I still have some old AMD cards that arent good for mining anymore but they work flawlessly, I used to mine with them for over 6 years non stop.
