Here is a news says that the president of Alphabet and co-founder of Google on Sunday said he’s mining Ethereum with his son use a gaming PC. I think that is to say they mine Etherum with a GPU which is good for gaming; it must be Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti or titan V. Actullay the Nvidia Graphic cards are not that good as AMD in mining as far as I know.
I use some AMD RX 570 and RX 580 cards to mine XPM these days. The problem is that the full power of AMD cards are always limited by high temperature, though I already used liquid coolers. In my mind, the AMD Graphic Card is the best way to mine XPM now. So I want to know if you guys have some better ideas? Maybe the next generation Nvidia Graphic cards, 1180 be better than AMD card?
Yes Nvidia cards are better choices for gaming, and for mining it depends. As to my memory Nvidia cards are better for Zcash, and AMD for ETH and Primecoin (yes Primecoin!)
As for specific cards, it gets complicated. Are you using the blockchain drive from AMD?
It really depends, you should pay your electric bill, haha.
If we can make primecoin better, the price will go up, then mining is getting more profitable.
Someone told me that the Nvidia GFX 1180 may ban the mining function, which means they want you buy it for gaming only. So you’d better keep eyes on AMD cards.
