Title: Nicehash - better optimization?
Post by: Sn1p3r on November 04, 2017, 07:42:22 PM
Hello!

I have two mining rigs - identical hardware - identical windows installation, all drivers, and versions have been made completly same and at the same time.

What could be the reason of such difference?

Don't mind for Balance, it's different because of other reasons.

Make sure to take a look at mining algorithm and daily profit

If i read correctly, one of your gpus on right side mines Cryptonight, which is currently more profitable. Try instaling 1.8.2 or 1.8.xx nicehash.

That's right!
While the second one doesn't want to take Cryptonight, and it's always a little bit less profitable

Re run benchmarks, and select precise, not quick.

you understand how nicehash works right? The system not the gui.

In short, your two workers get assigned to orders. One might be lucky and get assigned to orders that pay more than the other.

Left is mining ETH+Decred

Right is mining ETH+Decred and some GPU are mining Cryptonight.

Also Nicehash profit calculator is not always calculated at the same rate/time every instance. So it's normal.

If you press mining details you'll see which GPU is mining what and then you can rebench them.
