* Which card gives you more profit in the long run, the 470 4Gb or the 470 8Gb?
I often read contradictions in posts, some prefer to the 4Gb version as more profitable due to the price difference compared to a 470 8Gb and claim that mining Ether won't use 8Gb memory anyway.
On the other hand some say a 8Gb is more stable for overclocking (depends on type of memory, Hynix/Samsung etc.)and therefore you can get that card more easily stable running higher hash-rates.
Some also claim that due to the rising difficulty in mining Ether the 8Gb WILL be used due to more complex algorithms.
These post confuse and make it difficult for me to decide whether I should by 470/4Gb or 470/8Gb
* Is it correct to state that GPU's with Samsung or Hynix memory are the best for overclocking and Micron the worst?
I hope a person with higher IT skills then my own Noob-degree can give these answers to my struggling mind.
