Title: New to mining, can someone validate my setup?
Post by: VoltAmp on December 17, 2017, 04:46:04 PM
Hi Everyone, I just started eth mining with ethermine pool and a brand new dual GTX 1070 setup and would like some help validating my results.

Windows 10 system running claymore miner is saying gpu0 is getting around 30.2 Mh/s and gpu1 around 31.2 Mh/s.  I overclocked them separately and gpu0 is running hotter due to physical placement of the cards

I tried using ethminer instead but it seems like the numbers dropped pretty significantly.  Here are some screenshots of my ethermine statistics.

You can see in the picture where the reported hashrate disappeared is where I was using ethminer, and when reported hashrate comes back is when claymore was started again.

Here's something that I don't quite get - why is effective hashrate sometimes significantly higher than the reported hashrate?

Hey, welcome aboard!

Calculated Hashrate takes the amount of valid shares your miner has submitted over a period of time and uses a formula to convert this into a readable hashrate. This number can fluctuate, sometimes being lower or higher than your actual miner's output hashrate.


I would try using 1070 for algos like equihash or neoscrypt. Test it out see, what happens. Try out some other ETH miners, too.
