Over recent weeks we have seen some odd looking graphics cards launched. I'm mainly talking about the cryptocurrency mining cards, many of which have no video outputs, making them decidedly one-trick ponies. Though there are some Nvidia GPU-based mining cards on the way to market, it looks like AMD solutions are more popular here. Now it looks like AMD and its partners are making use of any old Radeon Polaris GPU lying around and this is evidenced by various sources spotting these Radeon RX 560D and Radeon RX 470D graphics cards.
Rx 560 d :
- 896 Stream processors
- 4GB GDDR5, 256-bit
- TPU : only "50% of the RX 560 total power consumption"
Rx 470 d :
- AMD Radeon RX470D GPU with 1792 Stream processors
- 4GB GDDR5, 256-bit
- DVI/3 Display port/HDMI output support
- PCI Express 3.0 x16 bus interface
- Support Radeon FreeSync Technology
- DirectX 12 and Vulkan Optimized
- AMD XConnect and HDR Ready
- Special Dual-cooling design for Mining..

I'm much more comfortable with Nvidia cards right now, especially because of the current supply. It seems that 1060s are the best bang for your buck. I like AMD cards, but they're so expensive for the value you're getting. I'd rather go with something a little less efficient but much cheaper.
Cheers!
