Re: Nvidia never was much good for mining
hash/watt is an important metric in mining. When it came to Ethereum, AMD made sense as it had a massively greater hash/watt than Nvidia. That isn't true of all coins though, for example ZCash and the other Equihash coins have a much higher hash/watt on Nvidia cards.
However, with the recent release of Ethereum and Equihash ASIC miners, the value of mining with graphics cards is dissappearing, meaning the prices should finally start coming down a bit.
