Calculating the payback of video cards – Profitability
GPU: Payback: Excluding e / energy: Radeon RX 470 183 days. (16% per month) 145 days. (20.6% per month) Radeon RX 480 193 days (15.5% per month) 156 days (19.2% per month) Geforce GTX 1060 154 days (19.4% per month) 130 days (23% per month) Geforce GTX 1070 185 days ( 16.2% per month) 162 days (18.5% per month) Radeon Fury X 278 days (10.7% per month) 213 days (14% per month)
As you can see from the table above, the most profitable for mining at the moment are the Nvidia Geforce GTX 1060 3gb and Radeon RX 470 4gb video cards. It is worth noting that this is true only at the moment and on the currently most profitable Equihash algorithm, what will happen next, what algorithms will appear in the future and how these video cards will behave on them is not known.
If you are interested in mining profitability right now, then you can choose Geforce GTX 1060 if you are a fan of Nvidia or Radeon RX 470 if you prefer a GPU from AMD. To calculate the profitability of mining, cryptocurrency mining calculators for GPUs are used (the data in them can vary greatly even within one day, since the rate can change dramatically).
Overclocking video cards to increase the hash rate when mining
Improving the performance of GPU cards for mining is an integral part of setting up a farm. Overclocking can be done using special programs running from the operating system, for this we recommend MSI Afterburner. Also, overclocking a video card can be achieved by flashing the BIOS.
We tell you in detail about all overclocking options here, there are also video instructions for AMD and Nvidia cards (the principle of overclocking is slightly different).
