Best GPU under 200$ for Mining (free electricity)

[mgonzalez85]

Hi i dont know if i placed this question the right section of the forum but i couldnt find the mining section. I know it sounds silly but yes, I have free electric power due to a deal i made with a company where they let me have free electricity and internet so i thought i could run a few rigs to get the money flowing. I know mining its a long term (with rises and drops) investestment and i wanted to know what do i need to get around 100 to 200$ per month. What rig should i build?. I want to get gpu under 200 but if i have to get 300 or 400 then i will do it. I want to have 6 cards per rig. I have 2 old fx 6350 cpu and 2 other am3 mobos to get them going.

I also have a room available with 2 a/c to place my rigs in there. So forget about cooling and electricty just the gpus. Thank you and sorry for my redundant paragraph.

Depending on the coin being mined.
Either a GTX1050 or an RX560.
You'll probably need 3 or 4 of them to make it in the range you wish to earn.

My advice to you is to do more research on this before you buy anything. Three questions you should be able to answer:
1. What currency will you mine and why?
2. For mining that currency, is it better to use one or two more powerful cards, or six cheap cards?

Why do you want to use 12 cards?
How many pcie connections do you have on your mobos?

Depends on what's available in your region I tested mining with a 1080 ti 2 of these and you are set they are expensive nowadays thou
For around 200$ a 1050 ti would be about right I think you would need about 6 of those but still not 6/rig

With "free" power you should be looking at tahiti chipset cards. They perform similar to gtx 1060 but at a quarter the cost, and of course twice the power draw.

How about used gtx 950 cards?
