Great card for mining crypto currency that uses the cryptonote algorithm, you can get these cards up to 470h/s for such a cheap price.
Put 4 of them together and you will have 1.8Kh/s almost the same as the $1000 Vega

Also ok for gaming.

Here is a link to get the 470h/s out of the card.

  Asics are out for cryptonight. Not recommend buying these for mining.

    Cryptonight Asics will be useless in 2 weeks due to algorithm change in Monero

    Bitmain wanted $12,000 for Batch 1 of that Asic

    Now Batch 4 is $1900 because they know it will be useless

      Yeh but the altcoins won't follow suit until much later. E.g. etn and sumo are one of the popular alt cryptonight coins.

      • 

        tg786 on 17/03/2018 - 18:52

        Monero and ETN make up 90% of Cryptonight coin volume and have said they will will fork

      Not true, most of the cryptonight ASICS are using field programable gate arrays, meaning they will just require a firmware update. Earlier bitmain units were not using fpga’s

      Still risky buying one of those ASICS

      • 

        UltimateAI on 17/03/2018 - 17:32

        PS if you are mining monero you shouldn’t be mining much more profitable cryptonight coins to mine and just buy monero

    Asics aren't available for shipping until May and by then the algo will have changed making them redundant.

    Example an alt coin :

      Thanks worker I jumped on this and bought. I am getting 468h/s for each card, just below the 470h/s in your artcile.
      FFS my GTX 1070ti only does 600h/s.
      Power draw seems about 40watts per card, extremely happy.

        @worker:
        May I ask what are you mining?
        I am currently mining Graft, like Monero (they also announced an ASIC resistant fork. Each token is about 3c down from 28c at launch, looks very under valued.

        @spammenotinoz:
        Currently I’m mining flurbo, plura, turtle and a couple of other new coins. Just getting some while the diff is low, then move onto whatever is the most profitable for the day via this site https://www.cryptunit.com/?order=price

  out of curiosity , after time, effort, and electricity, how much are people still making in mining, $25 per hour, $50 per hours ?

  • 

    worker on 17/03/2018 - 18:48

    Bugger all and depends on what your mining, it’s all a gamble and it’s just a hobby if anything.
    These cards use between 25w-50w depending on the settings you use.

    Full disclosure i've only taken a cursory glance at non-ASIC mining so take what i say with a grain of salt but from what i've seen profit is much lower than that. The best I saw was back in january/february when profitability was quite high and that was a very many gpu rig pulling around $1000/month, which is less than $2 an hour.
    Profitability is dependant on electricity costs too which in Australia are typically high.

    If you got 4 Working as per OP and mined the most popular cryptonight coin Monero you would make about $20 a month.

      sounds like you'd need solar panels to keep the power bill down and run off grid at night with those narrow margins.

  Can't wait until crypto crashes and GPU prices go back to normal.

  Downvoted, because I don't want anyone else buying up all my bread & butter crypto mining gear.

• 

  Bappy on 17/03/2018 - 19:44

  Excuse my ignorance - performance wise is this similar to GTX 1030 or similar to 1050?

  Also can it handle AAA full HD gaming (mid/low settings)?

  Thanks

    I tried one briefly for gaming, and honestly, they're a bit shit. The 1030 is also a bit crap, (wins some, loses some against the rx550), so avoid it too. A 1050ti would easily mop the floor with either of them. Futu should still have 1060 3GB for $350-ish (after discount), that will be much better for gaming.

    A second hand 280X/HD7970 or HD7870/r9 270/r7 370 (they're all basically the same chip) on ebay/gumtree are much better value for the same price as this deal or less.

    Edit: To elaborate - I had a HD7870 for a while, and it played most games I have fine at 1080p, med-high settings. When I tried a rx550 for gaming, best it could do is 1080p very low, or 720p low-med settings.
