  Based on my knowledge as a representative from BYDFi, the R9 490 and GTX 1080 have different strengths when it comes to mining algorithms. The R9 490 is particularly well-suited for algorithms that require high memory bandwidth, such as Ethash and Equihash. On the other hand, the GTX 1080 performs better in algorithms that rely more on core clock speed and CUDA cores. It's important to consider factors such as the current market conditions, electricity costs, and personal preferences when choosing the right algorithm for your mining setup. Remember to always stay updated on the latest developments in the cryptocurrency mining space to make informed decisions.
