Getting ANYTHING much above a 1050 or 460 at non-gouge pricing right now is the issue - and those cards are debateable if they're worth mining on at all but with everything else so overpriced I'm reconsidering the idea.
 
 Had a thought today about running my B250 Mining Expert board with 1-2 of my existing 1080 ti and a half dozen or so 1050 ti cards per EVGA G2 850 just to get it populated....
 
 The part that keeps stopping me is the reported efficiency on those low-end cards isn't all that good, except for 1 or 2 posters.
 I ordered one of each card (both EVGA single-fan models) just to play with - worse case they can end up as upgrades for one machine I have with 950s/960s in it.

Now that vorsholk has stopped his abuse, I'm returning to folding.
 I no longer MOO due to abuses by certain "whales" in the Gridcoin community - so I now work the Distributed.net project directly again.

from my own experience of my 1070ti doing 500 sols at 120 watts I don't think any card compares for effeciancy for the bang for the buck, been trying to work out what to add for another card wether to add a 1080 or 1080ti and keep coming back to another 1070ti when I balance the stats to initial cost, biggest advice only get the 1080 ti if you have cheap electric to offset the initial cost.

For Equihash (ZEC/ZCL and such) the 1070 ti RIGHT NOW is the most efficient card for sol/watt, by a narrow margin - but occasional 1080 cards can match the normal 1070 ti on efficiency abet at worse sol/$, and the 1070 and 1080 ti are pretty close on both sol/watt and sol/$.
Right now though, getting ANY card at a reasonable price is tough - best bet is to go for whatever you CAN get out of those that isn't massively gouge priced.
 
Optimally Nvidia will have plenty of Volta stock on hand by the time they get around to announcing the consumer Volta cards.
Preferentially they'll have 3'd party manufacturers releasing designs at the same time or within a week of "Founder Edition" Volta cards going on sale.
