Title: Dual Mining ZEC & x pair with NVIDIA cards
Post by: Vispilio on June 17, 2017, 09:35:08 PM
Ok so is anyone mining ZEC & x pair with NVIDIA, does Claymore support this, or is there a better alternative ?

Is anyone actually getting good results with ZEC / DCR on 1070's or 1080 TI's ?

The cost of the 1080 TI's could be justified if it also performed 2x or better compared to RX580's on the secondary pair as well (in addition to its superior ZEC performance).


Let me know.

you cannot dual mine ZEC. It uses both GPU and Memory too much.

I see. We need a dual pair that would give twice the performance of Rx580's on the 1080 TI's.

Clearly it's not ETH, ZEC is a very viable candidate, but without dual mining it's still not good enough. Any suggestions welcome

Check there and if the coin you're looking for isn't there it doesn't exist or is brand new.

Equihash is an intensive algo and doesn't support dual mining as previous stated.

i get a more consitant higher hash rate on zec than other coins, always matches or exceeds the estimates. my cards are gtx 1070 x5, just ordered another, looked at gtx 1080 but price to 1070 didnt really offer better hash rate.

zec is not really the profitable for gtx, better to mine another and sell and buy zec. duel ming eth and dcr is pretty good slightly more than zec and difficulty is high but more stable, zec goes up and down a lot.
