Title: I have a question
Post by: dat_guy58 on September 23, 2017, 05:32:15 AM
I am new to mining. At this point I am only mining to learn. That being said I do have free power..(include in my rent). I have been mining with Nicehash Miner. I have used Claymores dual miner but with my old hardware Claymore doesn't see all my gpu So I use Nicehash because it sees all my gpu. I have a GTX 960 4gb a GTX 960 2gb and a GTX 560 1gb all DDR5. From some reason using Nicehash all 3 Gpus make about the same. .40-.50 cents USD a day. (Each Gpu) I am confused as to why 3 different cards with 3 different sizes of ram make the same. I also tried mining with an R7 250 2gb DDR3 and it made .20 cents a day. I just thought with a 4gb card I would make more then I would with a 1gb card.

Would you be able to check what memory chips these two cards (960 and 560) use? The amount of work a GPU can do isn't solely relied on the amount of VRAM itself but what the core clock can do, actually. Also, have you made any tweaks or overclock on either of the card? 50 cents a day is pretty decent for older gen cards since a 1050ti, using NiceHash could produce about $2-$3 a day. Lastly, Samsung and Micron vrams clock pretty stable and sweet for GPUs. Hynix, not so much.

Pretty sure if you start using an extraordinary amount of power it will no longer be included.  :/

i am very sure if you start consuming alot of power outside the normal they will notice it!

Thanks for your useless reply. I can see this forum is just a joke

dothebeats Thanks for an actually reply. I don't know the clock speed or who makes the ram off the top of my head but I can always check that when I get home.


To those who want to post about power. 1 I'm not even mining 24/7. I am still learning before I try to make actually money from money. 2. I pay $2100 a month. I am gone 3 weeks out of every month and no one is there so no power is used. Mining from time to time wont cause the power to go up much when I'm gone for 3 weeks. 3. I didnt post asking about power or what my landlord will do if I cost them $1000 a month for power.



IF YOU ARE POSTING ABOUT POWER DON'T WASTE YOUR OR MY TIME. PLEASE ONLY POST REGARDING MY QUESTION. I UNDERSTAND THE WHOLE POWER THING AND THAT IS NOT MY QUESTION
