A Guide To Making A RVN Rig In The Current Market

I started mining RVN just last night on my Ethereum rig I made in early January. Not really, just mining ETH to RVN on the unMineable pool. I got to thinking to myself, "What cards would have the most value for Ravencoin without emptying your wallet?"

From what everyone is aware of, the current scalper market has been caused by both the chip shortage and crypto boom (kind of crashed yesterday). Since the decline yesterday, I figured that the used market would soon be flooded with used mining cards from panic sellers. This is where I wanted to help you guys here.

I spent about five or so hours creating this here google sheet on what GPUs contain what kind of value for Ravencoin through rankings:

The information that was collected was through WhatToMine and Kryptex. I will continue adding on to this google sheet when more cards hit the market, such as the 3070 Ti and 3080 Ti (since NVIDIA only cares about ETH miners and not our potential).

If you didn't bother to look at the sheet, then here's the best and worst cards:

Best Value:

1. RX 470 4Gb
2. RX 570 4Gb
3. RX 480 4Gb
4. R9 Fury

Worst Value:

1. Radeon VII
2. RTX 3090
3. RX 6900 XT
