Title: Why eth hashrate gets slower?
Post by: Matias on January 23, 2018, 07:18:48 PM
Hi!

Why ethereum hash rate has gotten slower over time? I’m not talking about increasing difficulty but cards’ decreasing hashrate.

Software related issue? Drivers, maybe?

No decrease in Hashrate here... Just the damn difficulty

Maybe growing DAG? When I mine other Ethash coins I get 31+Mh/s out of my R9 290s. With Ethereum I get around 28,5 Mh/s.

Maybe i’m wrong, but I’ve understood that cards nowadays don’t get the same hashrate as same cards few months ago? I know hashrate should stay the same and only difficulty increases.

I get the same hashrate on 480s what I was getting a year ago with just blockchain drivers

The increase in DAG file size, in and of itself, means that you have to do more work for each "hash" on average - this will slowly reduce the hashrate of ANY card.

 So no, the hashrate WON'T stay the same - but it's a very slow decrease.
