Okay I have 9 cards.

6 390's
1 hd7970
1 380
1 r9 fury nano.

What is coming from Nvidia vs what is coming From amd?


1070 Nivida how soon how much?

and amd how soon how much.

I have about a 2 or 3 card build left in me .

Any advice on what is new and worth waiting for?

I posted in AMD because I have 9 amd's mining and 0 Nvidia mining.

But if the 1070 is good for eth coin please let me know.

nvidia will probably not be worth it for eth mining as eth mining is pretty memory bandwidth dependent. I would buy up used 290s/390s on ebay if you're looking to mine eth.

Also, I would consider used Tahiti (79x0, 280(x)). They seem to mine eth pretty well too.

Yeah I have come to the same conclusions at the moment.

I got a few well priced 390's

I had 3 7970's sold two to upgrade to the 390's

I am reaching my max with the 9 cards I have.

I thought maybe the new AMD's would be a bigger boost .

Say 35-40 mhs a card.

I like the one r9 Nano I purchased the other day, but it was $$$
