I am going to nominate an RX

I am going to nominate an RX 580 with 8GB of ram as being the one of the best choices for a non-Navi 10 video card to run Gravity Wave gpus (2 tasks) and Gamma Ray #1 gpus (2, perhaps 3 tasks).

At current eBay prices you can buy 2 for less than the price of a single Radeon 5700 (probably) and run more tasks in parallel.  What I am unsure about is the speed of processing differential.  I am pretty certain the 5700 will use less power for the same amount of processing.
