Title: Nvidia Equihash and Vega Cryptonight questions
Post by: Truthchanter on October 03, 2017, 09:40:57 PM
I'm looking to mine either equihash (zec/zen) and/or cryptonight (monero)

Thinking of 1080ti for equihash (for best sol/watt and good mining density and hash per price?)

Also thinking of AMD Vega for cryptonight.

I have some questions

1. How is profit per power consumption currently for mining monero with vega vs mining zec/zen with 1080ti?

2. Is 1080ti the way to go if i got nvidia with equihash?

3. How does Vega 56 compare to 64 for monero? (price per card, hashrate, power consumption, and hashrate per power consumption)

gtx 1080ti do 750 sol with 225w
vega does 1500 h in moero with 180w
gtx 1080ti is best for equihash considering nvidia

Looking for talk (any at all) about Equihash algo used for mining, which is used by the upcoming Bitcoin "Gold" fork.
That should exist as a toppic somewhere inside the Altcoin mining section?
If nobody cares a damn, maybe Bitcoin "Gold" is not even legit.
Otherwise, it would be your third choice between ZEC & XMR.

I'm fairly certain it's another SHA-256 coin.  Although that's based purely on vague recollection from reading.

IF you want to go for Cryptonight, stick with Vega56. and BC Driver

Max. 4 cards/Rig. More makes problems. Use the registry patch for voltages. Runs best at 1202 mhz GPU / 900-940 MEM @850mv.
My Vega56 run at 140 Watt each, doing 1650 h/s each with AMD-STAK-XMR,
or 1950 h/s at 275 watt each 1630 GPU / 1100 MEM with Vega64 Bios.

Check out the "monero and vega ultimate guide" post on reddit, I have 3 vega 64's and 1 vega 56 running generating 7700h/s on cryptopnight pulling 670 watts at the wall that includes the motherboard, harddrive and 2 addon fans.

you can seriously undervolt these cards man, theyre giving me great returns.

You are correct. Since the NiceHash outage I have been mining bitcoin gold using the equihash algo on the suprnova pool.
