Title: Questions about mining Ethereum... Post by: SpeedDemon13 on August 19, 2015, 03:37:23 AM So, I only current have a HD 7970 to mine Ehter and currently doing 25.7 MHS. I notice when I look at other people results, the 280x and HD 7970 seem constant at 24~25 MHS. The 290, 290x and Fury X do the same or slightly better by 1~3 MHS. More likely the miner isn't optimized for those cards, especially the Fury series. Instruction on the Ethereum forum aren't to organized, especially the mining which to me over a day to finally get working right. I couldn't get an HD 6950 2GB to work with the miner, I read that it requires a card with more that 1.4GB of memory at least. Maybe the miner only works for AMD GCN cards and Nvidia 7XX series cards or newer.
What would be ideal: mine with HD 7970/ R9 280x or a bunch of GTX 750 ti's? Title: Re: Questions about mining Ethereum...

R9 280x is the sweet spot or the HD 7970 i guess 24mh/s on the 280x vs 8mh/s on the 750ti you basically need 3 times as many 750ti for the same hash rate , you do the math Title: Re: Questions about mining Ethereum... Post by: Blawpaw on August 19, 2015, 06:26:05 PM I need instructions on how to set up ethereum mining in Windows 7.
I have 3 GPUs AMD: 5850, 6950, 7950 Can anyone help me, or do I really need to set up a virtual machine with Ubuntu to get it running? Title: Re: Questions about mining Ethereum...

The math for power is easy , 6 amd gpus will use around 230watt each , cpu and mb will use around 100watts so probably either two 750watt psus chained or 1 1300watt psu Title: Re: Questions about mining Ethereum... Post by: SpeedDemon13 on August 28, 2015, 09:48:27 AM Current doing less that what the Ethereum Calculator are estimating, ~4.70 Ether and personally doing ~3 Ether a day instead. I notice the miner stops mining around 600~900ms when pool mining, but solo it doesn't have that issue. Is it a pool, windows miner and/or both the issue(s)? I'm current hashing ~68 MHS with 3x Hd 7970's.
Title: Re: Questions about mining Ethereum... Post by: mookid on August 28, 2015, 08:04:36 PM Mining ethereum like there's no tomorrow. R9 270. Getting 1.4 Eth daily. Also i bought REP from the Augur presale.
