Exchange rates are the reason for that. From the beginning of March to the end of May <a href=\"https:\/\/2bitcoins.ru\/coins\/ethereum\/\">Ethereum<\/a> rose in value from $127 to $262, while <a href=\"https:\/\/2bitcoins.ru\/coins\/bitcoin-gold\/\">Bitcoin Gold<\/a> rose from $10 to $31 in the same period. This made mining more profitable, which is why more people are joining the crypto community.

Both have their pros and cons, and depending on the coin one works better than the other.<\/p>\n<p>Today is June, 10.

RX580 is on the third place, followed by RX 470 (4th place) and RX 570 8 GB (5th place).<\/p>\n<p>Nvidia shows different results \u2013\u00a0the most popular models are the cheapest ones. There are both versions of GTX 1060 and 1070. The last model to surpass a 10% mark is GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 11 GB.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, if you are interested, in the right column you can also find ASIC models ranking.<\/p>\n<h2>Which GPUs Are Popular?<\/h2>\n<p>2Miners readers prefer Nvidia. Interestingly, a third of the surveyed users have graphics cards of both manufacturers.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Choose the Right GPU for Mining: Expert Tips<\/h2>\n<p><strong>John Smith, the founder of 2miners.com, shares his opinion on the matter.<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"blockquote\"><p><em>There is one simple rule that will help you choose a graphics card. Divide its price by hash rate and you will get the cost of a hashrate unit. The lower this number, the better.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Of course, you shouldn\u2019t forget about the rig itself. For example a motherboard usually supports 8 GPUs, but the final cost of a hashrate unit will also depend on the price of motherboard, processor, power supply, memory and hard drive. All this must be taken into consideration.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Buying a GPU is like buying a car.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Buying a GPU is like buying a car. When you buy a new one at the dealership, it is guaranteed that it will work flawlessly for at least a couple of years. But once a car leaves the dealership, the price falls by 30-50%.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>If considering your electricity cost and other expenses you can buy new graphics cards and quickly recoup your investment, then do it \u2013 you would have less problems in future. But if you are not sure, then used cards is a good option as well. The failure of one GPU out of ten is surely less expensive than buying new pieces. Even after two years of mining, graphics cards operate smoothly. In case of problems with fans, you can change them, as well as thermal paste.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>So which manufacturer is better?<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"blockquote\"><p><em>AMD or Nvidia? I prefer Nvidia because it\u2019s easy to setup and consumes less power, and it also supports more algorithms. On the other hand, AMD cards are usually more cost-effective considering the cost of a hashrate unit. At the same time they have more difficult settings, though it\u2019s not critical.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Another thing: AMD cards generate more heat and consume more power. It\u2019s important to remember this in the context of indoor ventilation and electricity cost.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>We spoke to Darek Piotrowski, COO at <a href=\"https:\/\/2bitcoins.ru\/luchshie-videokarty-dlya-majninga-v-2019-godu\/%E2%80%9Chttps:\/\/2miners.com%E2%80%9D\">2Miners.com<\/a>. He told us about dedicated equipment and its advantages.<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"blockquote\"><p><em>In my experience you can spend less on building a rig if you use server power supplies. With server PSUs the price of hardware for a rig of eight GTX 1050ti and eight 1080ti becomes comparable. The prices of motherboard, memory, processor are always at the same level.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>If you use PC power supplies, then 1080ti rig will definitely cost you more. One standard PSU with 700-800 W can power only two graphics cards, so for a rig of eight cards you would need as many as four units and they are quite expensive. On the other hand, you only need one server PSU to power any rig and it proved to be highly effective. However, you can use server power supplies only if your rigs are located in a separate facility, not at home or in the office, because they make a lot of noise.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>There are graphics cards designed exclusively for mining that don\u2019t have a port for monitor connection. Don\u2019t be afraid to try them out, but keep in mind that they are just like ASIC miners. They are good for mining, but you can\u2019t use them for gaming or anything else. They are much less popular and they are also less expensive. So if you believe in mining and its future, you can buy them at an extremely low price.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>And finally, Darek reminds us about the importance of warranty.<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"blockquote\"><p><em>Apart from the price, pay attention to the warranty. When a manufacturer gives a two-year warranty, it\u2019s a huge advantage. For mining GPUs must operate 24\/7, so sometimes it happens that some pieces of a low-quality GPU like a cooler or something else stop working. In this case if you have a warranty, your GPU will be replaced or repaired for free.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>The choice of a graphics card for mining is personal. You must consider a number of factors, like electricity cost, indoor ventilation, and budget. Then find out up-to-date <a href=\"https:\/\/2cryptocalc.com\/\">mining profitability<\/a> and don\u2019t forget to calculate the cost of one megahash. Make sure to estimate your return on investment and expect the payback period to be longer than you thought.<\/p>\n<p>So make your decision now and start mining \u2013 while you are thinking, others are mining your coins.
