GRAPHIC CARDS (GPUS) FOR MINING
When it comes to picking GPUs, you want the select the best bang for the buck. You’re looking for something with high hash rate, low cost, and low power usage. You can start with as little as 1 GPU or as much as 7 GPUs within one rig. Normally you see 5-6 in a mining rig as 7 is incredibly hard to make stable.
Below are the best GPUs for mining Ethereum. Listed from best to worst considering hash rate and power consumption.
