Choosing a Graphics Card for Mining – Price, Performance, Power consumption

GPUs Price

Look for GPUs at the best possible prices. It will help your investment pay off faster. It is a great idea to estimate mining costs before purchasing a video card. It requires considering the actual price of the equipment, electricity costs in the region where it will be used, and the number of working hours per month.

GPUs Performance

If you plan to mine specific cryptocurrencies, check the expected graphics card’s mining performance. A single high-end card can have the same performance as multiple low-end cards. This might mean you’ll require more space, and they will probably generate more heat/noise.

GPUs Power consumption

Newer, more power-efficient cards will draw less power, but more power-hungry GPUs tend to be cheaper. If you have low electricity costs, you can afford to buy more power-hungry cards. Otherwise, look for GPUs with better power efficiency.
