Here's the deal: 

I've compiled a list of the best GPUs for mining [Bitcoin](/crypto-mining/bitcoin-hardware/), [Ethereum](/crypto-mining/ethereum-hardware/), [Litecoin](/crypto-mining/litecoin-hardware/), and more popular cryptocurrencies in 2018. 

When it comes to mining cryptocurrency, it's important to buy a powerful GPU with a high [hashrate](https://coinsutra.com/hash-rate-or-hash-power/){: target="_blank"}. Hashrate and power consumption ultimately determine mining profitability. For more information regarding cryptocurrency mining, check out our [guide](/crypto-mining/).

The [AMD Radeon R9 295X2](http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=9&pub=5575177097&toolid=10001&campid=5338114702&customid=&icep_uq=radeon+r9+295x2&icep_sellerId=&icep_ex_kw=&icep_sortBy=12&icep_catId=&icep_minPrice=&icep_maxPrice=&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229466&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg){: target="_blank"} is one of the best mining GPUs on the market. Boasting an ETH hashrate of 45 MH/s and drawing 500W from the wall, this GPU is the most powerful Ethereum miner on the market.

The 295X2 has 8GB of dedicated video memory, which is crucial for ETH mining. As time goes on, the amount of dedicated video memory will steadily increase, so it's important to buy a GPU like the R9 295X2 that has a lot of memory.

If you want to generate serious revenue mining Ethereum, consider running multiple R9 295X2 GPUs in an [Ethereum mining rig](https://www.easypc.io/crypto-mining/ethereum-hardware/#ethereum-mining-rigs). 

The R9 295X2 is also a proficient [Monero mining GPU](/crypto-mining/monero-hardware/). You'll be able to profitably mine various cryptocurrencies with this card.

The [AMD Radeon R9 295X2](http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=9&pub=5575177097&toolid=10001&campid=5338114702&customid=&icep_uq=radeon+r9+295x2&icep_sellerId=&icep_ex_kw=&icep_sortBy=12&icep_catId=&icep_minPrice=&icep_maxPrice=&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229466&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg){: target="_blank"} is one of the best mining GPUs on the market. Boasting an ETH hashrate of 45 MH/s and drawing 500W from the wall, this GPU is the most powerful Ethereum miner on the market.

The 295X2 has 8GB of dedicated video memory, which is crucial for ETH mining. As time goes on, the amount of dedicated video memory will steadily increase, so it's important to buy a GPU like the R9 295X2 that has a lot of memory.

If you want to generate serious revenue mining Ethereum, consider running multiple R9 295X2 GPUs in an [Ethereum mining rig](https://www.easypc.io/crypto-mining/ethereum-hardware/#ethereum-mining-rigs). 

The R9 295X2 is also a proficient [Monero mining GPU](/crypto-mining/monero-hardware/). You'll be able to profitably mine various cryptocurrencies with this card.

The [AMD Radeon RX 480](http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=9&pub=5575177097&toolid=10001&campid=5338114702&customid=&icep_uq=radeon+rx+480&icep_sellerId=&icep_ex_kw=&icep_sortBy=12&icep_catId=&icep_minPrice=&icep_maxPrice=&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229466&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg){: target="_blank"} is the most profitable Ethereum mining GPU on the market as of now – Ethereum is one of the most profitable cryptocurrencies to mine, meaning the Radeon RX 480 is a worthy investment. 

The RX 480 has an Ethereum hashrate of around 25 MH/s and draws 150W from the wall. Even though it has a lower hashrate than the R9 295X2, it also has a lower power consumption. The R9 295X2 is a powerful miner, but you'll end up spending more on electricity with that card. 

The RX 480 provides a great balance of power and efficiency, both of which are important traits of a cryptocurrency mining GPU. The RX 480 is also great for mining Monero, ZCash, etc.
