AMD Radeon RX 570
Released in April 2017 by AMD, the Radeon RX 570 is more powerful than its predecessor, the Radeon RX 470, but now consumes significantly more power. However, the 570 and 580 series are among the most popular for Ether mining. The low cost of about $250 was very attractive. Mining-enthusiasts during the great boom.
Most often, these models use already familiar memory chips Elpida and Hynix, but if there is a choice, then it is better to take from Samsung (they show the highest hashrate).
If we take into account the extraction of ETH, then the hashrate is from 22 MH / s to 30 MH / s (the latter when flashing timings with overclocking RAM).
Go through the main characteristics:
- Kernel frequency: 1281 Mhz
- Memory frequency: 7 GHz
- Memory capacity: 4 Gb
- Bus and memory type: 256-bit GDDR5 (varies depending on the manufacturer)
- Maximum power consumption: 150 watts
We suggest that you familiarize yourself with the table that shows the hashrate for the available algorithms, as well as the approximate profitability from several cryptocurrencies presented at the time of 22.09.2018.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070
The video card has not lost its relevance, despite the fact that 2016 was released in May in the GeForce 10 line. It remains popular among gamers, and also of the entire range, this model is most energy efficient when mining (around 0.19 MHS / W on the Ethash algorithm). Quibbling, it is worth noting that this video card is inferior to the previous one precisely in working with Ethash, and, according to information from the forums, it does an excellent job with the NeoScrypt algorithm. It is worth noting that this is not so in hashrate, as in the cost of the GPU, which is about $ 450.
When overclocking RAM, you can reach 28-30 MH / s (on the same Ethash). The built-in controller allows you to increase power by 12%, undoubtedly, this will entail greater energy consumption.
Key Features:
- Kernel frequency: 1506 Mhz
- Memory frequency: 8 GHz
- Memory capacity: 8 Gb
- Bus and memory type: 256-bit GDDR5X (varies depending on the manufacturer)
- Maximum power consumption: 150 watts
