Let's start again with the cons - the biggest price. For 40,000 rubles, you can buy, for example, 2 GTX 1060 and mine in full, getting a larger hash rate. There are also problems with drivers on Windows 10, which refuse to be installed on the P102-100. In fact, it is a stump of 1080 Ti, although it gives higher performance on Ethereum, but slightly worse on Zekesh.

An interesting feature is the different size of the turntables - for some reason the right one is larger than the left one. The cooling system itself covers the power circuits, memory chips through thermal pads and removes heat from 5 copper tubes at once. Power is supplied through an 8-pin connector.At 100% fan speed and a room temperature of 25-27 degrees, it will be 61-63 on Ethereum and 64-65 on Zekesh.

Extremely strange video card from ASUS. Misunderstandings lie in the BIOS from the 570 model, which is most likely done to overclock performance, because the difference between 470 and 570 is minimal. On Ether, it gives out about 28 units. Up to 55 degrees, the card does not include regular coolers, which has a positive effect on energy savings.

If overclocked to 80 watts, the average temperature will be 65-68 degrees, while giving out 33 mhash. The main differences from the original are the lack of an HDMI port, the presence of only one DVI-D. As compensation, the manufacturer provided the product with additional features for connecting cooling systems (coolers).

Here is a mining analogue of the GTX 1080, since the ideal frequency formulas in the range of 1607-1733 MHz are completely the same. The main drawback of the model is the overpriced price even for the Mining Edition. The warranty is also not encouraging - it is only 1-3 months, depending on how lucky you are. The lack of video outputs and panels for connecting a screen and other output devices also leave their mark on the functionality of the P104-100.

Now about the good. Three heat pipes and turntables do an excellent job of increasing the dimensions of the card along the way.This led to the impossibility of installing the model in some cases and poor ventilation when assembling the truss with it. There is no blackplate on the back, the connection is made via an 8-pin connector. When earning cryptocurrency, you can get 21.68 on LuxCoin. In general, this is an average card, which has many shortcomings, offset by good results in the extraction of currency.

The main advantage of the model is the built-in memory from Samsung, holding 850 millivolts in the core, while the timings allow it to keep the mark of 29 megahash. With the right settings, it can give out 29 units from Ethereum and even a little more.

The card is based on the Polaris chip, which is characterized not only by good performance, but also by reliability. Cheating 8 GB of video memory look impressive to this day, and in the near future they will definitely not lose their relevance. The exterior is beyond reproach - everything is done in the best traditions of the Power Armor line. The downside can be a cooling system consisting of one heat pipe and two fans. Compared to the original, Miner 8 lowers the effective memory frequency, which is only 6000 MHz.

The GTX 1060 model is a good choice for gamers, but for miners it is a highly controversial option. On the one hand, its cost is the lowest in our rating. Also, this card will help save on electricity, because the power consumption is only 120 watts. On the other hand, this model is highly non-universal.In Ethereum mining, the GTX 1060 shows the worst results - a hashrate of only 20 MH / s, but ZCash is mined with a bang - 310 Sol.

Advantages:

• good performance in ZCash mining;
• best price;
• low power consumption.

Flaws:

• effective only in mining some cryptocurrencies

The 1070th model becomes the leader in mining performance among NVIDIA video cards. The high hashrate (ETH/ETC = 27 Mh/s; ZEC = 440 sol) is provided by the high frequencies of the video processor and memory (1620 and 8008 MHz, respectively), which compensates for the smaller number of universal processors. The cooling system is also good - three coolers do not allow the video card to overheat, although in a cramped case this will not save much. It is also worth noting that the power efficiency of the card is simply excellent - only 150 watts. Given the power, this is just an excellent indicator.

Advantages:

• better performance in mining;
• excellent energy efficiency;
• good cooling system.

For the best payback, it is recommended to take the cheapest version from Palit.

570 from GIGABYTE are known for their reliability. If you do not resort to excessive loads, this model will last at least a year without any problems and will help not only recoup its cost, but even earn extra money in excess of it. When working with her, there are several specific points. If it operates at a frequency of 900 millivolts, then it will work stably and provide the owner with cryptocurrency earnings.With a parameter of 1050 per core and more, it will start acting weird, causing hash jumps.

Another nuance is the leakage of thermal pads. You should not "fry" the card at temperatures over 75 degrees, otherwise the gaskets, designed for stable operation at adequate temperatures, will go away very quickly within 3 years. Well, games. Everything is fine with this, the main thing is to install a normal processor and then you can enjoy the new products even at ultra settings.

Paying about 16,000 rubles, you will receive a real treasure – RX 580 8 GB from GIGABYTE. The cooling system consists of 3 copper tubes, all pressed through thermal pads to all the most important elements. Two coolers are able to work silently even at 70% load. A blackplate is installed at the back, there are no seals on the bolts, which will allow you to quickly change the thermal pads.

With stitched timings and 60-70 watts, you can get 31.6 on Ethereum with Hynix memory. On Samsung you can get a little more, but here you are already lucky. There is proprietary software for flashing BIOS in case of problems. The card will perform well in video games due to the large amount of video memory and the high bandwidth of the memory bus. For beauty, a controlled RGB backlight is installed.
