hello,
one question about mining zcash.
i alredy have 2 rigs (sapphires 470 and 480 8gb) and i am mining mostly ehereum.
i will like to build one mlre rig, more specialist for zcash. i will like to know what do i need to look on gpus? for ethereum i was looking more on memory, how is here.
do i need to buy 8gb or i can get 4 gb for the same hashing power? i know that nvidia is better, but it is also more expensive.
any advice very welcome. thanks.
Depends on the price dif between RX470 4GB and RX 480 8GB. In most cases, % increase in cost is not justified by the % increase in performance. Except if you have a density problem then that offset the cost increase. All up to your numbers.
Best way is to work out for the same hash target. You will need 9 RX480 8GB rigs to match 10 RX470 4Gb rigs.
Cost of 1000W PSU
Cost of MB, CPU and RAM
Cost of 6 Risers.
Cost of the frame.
Cost of 6 GPU's
Get the totals and compare
6 x RX480 8GB 1830 sols/s
6 x RX470 4Gb 1680 sols/s
