Almost Same hashrates as Raven KawPow

It's good that you have this video card, but the paradox is that there are no drivers for it :)
New drivers will be available after the official start of sales, so now nothing will work
I began to notice that there are no CDs with drivers already in the box.

3080 drivers work for it if you know how to handle inf files. You need to google it.

So why, then, are there no tests when so many people have held this video card in their hands?

Yes, I do not see this as a problem, because in a few days there will be mining tests.

simple, they have no idea how to modify the drivers for it to work. It takes time and effort, probably nobody wants to bother about since in a day or so official drivers will be out.

RTX 3070 is a great video card.
Just out of curiosity, can anyone tell me how many hash rates the 3070, and 3080 can get mining ETH?

The 3080 has already been tested for a long time. 100-105 mx.
I expect 65-70mx from 3070
And the most important point will be the power consumption of the video card during mining.

Apparently yes the card is not getting detected.

I am expecting same, hope for the best.

I expect from 50 to 60mhs and no more.

Thank you for the informations!
I did a quick search, and I found something interesting, some speculation, that the 3070 hashrate can be around 55-65 mhs, I think it's realistic

Well, it's not being recognized, because, probably there are no specific drivers for this video card yet

50-60% of hashrate RTX 3080? not too little?
If the hash rate does not exceed 60 mh, then this video card will not be able to compete with AMD 5700XT, and the new generation of AMD video cards will be even better.

Yes, it would be a failure if 3070 couldn't be better than 5700XT in both gaming and mining

benchmarks are out

Looking forward to seeing the hashrate and efficiency!

memory is no better than the one on the rx 5700. I guess is the same memory, which means, pretty much same hashrate on eth, on other algos must be good, on eth forget.

So what?

nicehash have a new post.

looks a bit low than my expectations. I was expecting around 65 MH/S

will have to wait until tomorrow for the drivers to be released to test it out myself.

Yeah no hope, as always I was right, the rx 5700 is cheaper and better than the 3070 on eth in every regard, although x other algos it sucks x 3070, 3070 was a failure from the start. The 3070 is 30% slower than the 3080 and is 30% cheaper than the 3080, you might say is good but it's not. We will see what amd brings to the table today, I think concerning eth mining, none will be better than the old rx 5700, remember that rnda2 is about gaming, not mining, so those 50% will not translate to mining at all unless some algo uses the same instruction set efficiency rnda2 brings.

Right now nothing is better than the 3080 for mining and gaming however power consumption is disgraceful. If amd can use gddrx6 and do wonders like nvidia did to 3080 with half power consumption then they have a winner. I have friends at amd that told me they are working on a blockchain gpu. So today miners will be disappointed and later on if mining still active in 6 months then people might be happy but like everything, all depends the price cryptocoins will be, bullrun 2021 is coming and is real. Also if there is a bullrun then you should not be mining at all, better buy coins, 100 times more profit on scamcoins, 50 times more profit on shitcoins, 25 times more profit on not bad coins, 10 times to 20 times more profit on good coins like eth or btc.

Just tested with NVIDIA RTX 3070, it shows the result of 58MH/S as well..

How much electricity does a video card consume when mining?

I am still disappointed with the result, I expected around 70 megahashes.
if this video card does not give a good benefit in power consumption, then nvidia lost to AMD

can anyone test it with GPU underclock / oc to see what is the limit with ethereum mining
maybe even try to use afterbuner perf/power editing and try lover voltage with max GPU OC by pressing : Ctrl + F
and locking minimal voltage on list with select and press L then pushing whole OC up till GPU can handle it

Waiting for official drivers to be released.

I have this card set up on my mining rig.

My 5700XT's do 57 MH/s and consume 110 watts (core).  Power at the wall is about 35% higher (to account for VRAM and various other components on the GPU card).  So a grand total of about 150 watts.

Given that the 5700XT can be had for around $400, it makes it a much better deal than the 3070 for mining (at least for ETH) and I bet the power efficiency is also better.

What I'm really looking forward to, is the hashrate / efficiency of the 6800XT, which claims 50% better power efficiency compared to the 5700XT series.  Based on the announcement yesterday, the cost will be $649 and will be available on November 18th.  It trades blows with the 3080, so I expect around 100 MH/s and less than 200 watts of power.

6800XT would not be 100 MH/S on ETH. I guess 70-75 MH/S would be achievable by OCing.

Almost Same hashrates as Raven KawPow

Do not do minus on GPU core you need to lover voltage at MAX, it can be hard, as I said use afterbuner open graph with:
ctrl+f
select lowest voltage point with mouse and click L (key) lock voltage, then you can push some OC to GPU at same minimum voltage if ETH need more GPU power

monitor hashrate and frequency, more undervolt can be tested wit nvinspector but I am not sure if it works on 3xxx series

You can even try PL to 60% + GPU oc +100, but best would be if you could drop GPU voltage at minimum

Yeah,
sakmsb, dont set "-" to GPU and fix the Voltage

sakmsb, thanks for your test. Now I'm definitely not going to buy this video card for mining.
In Russia, the price of this video card in stores today is 740-760 dollars(Depending on manufacturer and model).
AMD will retain leadership in Ethereum mining.
I do not understand why when the TDP value decreases, energy consumption does not drop.

Thanks, like I said before, no different than rx 5700 and like i said many times, 3070 is a failure in games and mining, 3070 is already doa.

Yep pretty much not worth it.

Yes, even I don't under that.

Will try to undervolt as others suggested.

https://www.nicehash.com/blog/post/nvidia-geforce-rtx-3070-mining-hashrate

Will try to undervolt and post back results.

I don't know about that just yet.

at stock clocks with power set to 50% in after burner, i'm getting 51.2 mhash/s @ 105 watts on the wattmeter for the GPU.. i haven't oc memory yet. I have the 3070 FE

edit:  fresh install win10.  457.09 drivers.  amd 3600 cpu stock. 16gb ddr4 2666 mem @47 watt system draw  msi af 4.6.2 .. 155 watt total system draw under load.   measurements on Kill A WATT meter.
Phoenix miner 5.1c
stock clocks   51.2 mhash/s @ 50% msi.    108 watts for gpu.
mem +500  55.28 mhash/s @ 50% msi.    108 watts for gpu.
mem +1000  58.4 mhash/s @ 50% msi.    108 watts for gpu.
mem +1250  59.08 mhash/s @ 50% msi.    108 watts for gpu.

If it hash 52Mhs at 50% TDP just push memory 1000 -1250+ and try to push later some GPU OC if it can/need

also check GPU clock while mining

@alucard20724

try 50-100+ OC on GPU if it does not crash miner... memory at 1250 not big benefit looks like more GPU clock is needed

mem +1250  59.08 mhash/s @ 50% msi.    108 watts for gpu.

gpu clock sits around 600MHz on gpuz while mining, and increases to 1100-1700 while creating the dag file.  I have the gpu at stock clocks.
gpuz says the mem clock is @2013.0 (I have +1250 on msi ab).

I'm more concerned with efficiency

+50 on gpu clock didn't seem to change anything.  same for +100.

yeah issue is you can`t control clock at voltage, ideal you would find lowest clock needed for 60Mhs and set it and drop voltage at minimum for it

one option is aftrburnel freq/volt editing but it might not have option to undervolt it at that range

my incorrect shares went up dramatically with the + 1250
putting mem back to +1000 and gpu back to stock.. accepted shares back to normal

bad shares i bet are due memory OC, if its GPU miner would crash

$500 dollar and same as rx 5700, better wait few days and get a 6800 for $579, likely be sold for $549, will be a lot better than the 3070, trust me.

True.  but you never know til you try.
This is just a quick tweak too... but it's a good beginning reference for everyone to make their own decision.  fyi.. I have 10 5700XT and twenty 5700.  will get the 6800/6900 when they come out too.

Unable to successfully undervolt.

@TDP 45

0 Core/+1300 Memory

61.1 MH/S with miner showing 122W

how are you rejects?  I started to get a lot of rejects with +1250 with my card.  I haven't started with the girlfriend's card yet... same card though.  one per person at MicroCenter.. i asked.  ;D ;D

Getting a few incorrect shares, clocked down to +1200 and will observe.

wow, thanks for sharing, these are interesting numbers!
Could you tell us what model of video card you have? 5700 xt Sapphire Nitro? MSI?
Did you make BiosMod?
Thanks

My Sapphire Nitro+ gives same hash rates, MSI gives 55.6 and XFX 55.5.

Bios modded and editing the Voltage to min 725 and Max frequency to 1k, should do the trick.

I have still been unable to mod GIGABYTE 5700XTs Rev 2. Tried couple of times and bricked the card. Luckily was able to re-flash to stock bios.

One rig has 4 Sapphire Pulse cards and yes, all are bios modded.  Each card has its own personality as far as how low I can bring the power before it starts to fall over.  Same with mem clock.

My AMD rigs are running plain Ubuntu 20.04 distro controlled by Awesome Miner.

Nvidia 3070 is capable of delivering 64 Mh/s on the Ethash algorithm with a consumption of only ~ 120 watts

I think it will work at maximum overclocking and it is not full power consumption. The program only shows the consumption of the core, not the memory and fans.
what is 3070 FE? I did not find information what does FE mean.

FE = Founders Edition, the Nvidia's own card

TDP 50, Custom Core(undervolted)/+1200 seems stable without any incorrect/reject shares.

61.4 MH/S with 122 W -- This is the best I am able to get. Anyone else got any better results?

GPU 4 in the screenshot is 3070

Speed is more or less good, but POWER could be dropped more issue is just you have no control over it

What happen if you drop PL to 30-45% range does card crash or GPU freq or memory freq crash?

 

Going below Power Limit 50 is dropping the hash rates and too much GPU freq instability.

Increasing Memory above 1200 is resulting in high reject/incorrect.

What determines lowest possible voltage?
Is it the voltage regulation chips limit or "just" a software/bios limit?!

Of course you would need to lower core clock as well, before your OS loads the driver. (bios mod or registry mod)

Anyone ever explored hardware mods to LOWER voltage? eg. resistors

Issue you can not know as GPU do not crash but driver drop freq as insane ....... you have NVinspector to set manual voltage but I think as its old it do not work on 3xxx
Afterburned dev unwinder from guru3d forum know more but he only allow OC control what he is told by Nvidia

My second card i can only set the power limit to 55.  at 55 i get 59 mhash with +1000 mem.  if i reduce the power limit below that, hash rate drops significantly.

Wow, a XX70 series of Nvidia that does not make sense  :o :o :o

The prices here of 3070 are almost the same as RTX 3080 at launch, and looking the performance on games and now at mining, it's not a a sweet spot to buy like 970, 1070 and 2070
With RX 6800 and XT this model will have to be at a good price to sell

I expect a little more hashrate, but thinking about mining only, it's way better to buy a 5700 to do 54Mhs consuming 130 or 140w and the card is easy to find

Talking more about 3070, which model of cards are you using to post these hashrates?
With updates on miners app, and drivers, maybe the hashrate can be better

Even if mining software update the application, how much can we expect more, may be 2 to 3 MH/s more.

Mine is Gigabyte OC card. And, I'm not happy and trying to sell this off already LOL.

Waiting for AMD 6xxx series to be out n make us miners happy :D

Both of my cards are FE.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38YfddelGAI
did you try this guy's settings?  65MH @ 130W. Pretty decent, roughly 10-15% better than a rx5700.

That guy used AF to lock voltage with ctl+f and selecting lowest voltage and L to lock it, issue is its still 1455Mhz

I'm looking at your pic... is that 220 watts for the 3080 at @95?   are you able to get better efficiency?

I watched the video, and this guy put 1500Mhz and did not touch on TDP
I think 1500mhz + on memory is not good to keep for a long time, probably will give you lots of errors, in this video, he only shows 1 or 2 minutes mining, but it's interesting to see how the memory will be with hours mining, the percentage of errors
To achieve this frequency, it's probably samsung memories

Yes ~225 to 235 W @ 95 to 100 MH/S depending on outside temperatures. During day time it hashes 95-97 and during night 100+.

This is the most stable I was able to achieve. Increasing frequency to >1200 crashes the card randomly after 12-15 hours and any power limit below 70 drops hash rates significantly.

I have my two 2080 Super Inno3D on +1500 since the beginning. They are stable and yes those are Samsung memory IIRC.

Can't reach 1500 stable on either 3080 or 3070 both Gigabyte cards. +1200 is most stable for my both Gigabyte on 3xxx series.

well humor me if you do 95-100 at 225-235

could you set gear to 60%
let me know mh and watts

could you set gear to 65%
let me know mh and watts

could you set gear to 70%
let me know mh and watts

if you get 235/100 = 2.35 watts per mh on high percent


and get 160/80 = 2.00 watts per mh on lower percent I would be curious.


my best amd do 103/51 = 2.02 watts per mh

I would not mind a 3080 if it equals 2.02 watts per mh  but it it gets 2.35 watts an mh I have less interest

Best would be a chart.

90%  ? watts  ? mh
85%
80%
75%
70%
65%
60%
55%
50%

Miners can weigh what settings are best for them

if your power is cheap 3 cents a kwatt saving power is not important

but if your power is 15 cents and setting at 60% gives 75 mh at 140 watts it may be worth it.

Wow, thank so much for this information guys!

I am very interested in buying a rx 5700 xt to mining and play some games, but here in my country is very expensive.
I hope in the future with the launch of the rx 6 *** series, the rx 5700 xt will lower the price

such chart is already on youtube, one of the miners had posted it, though I don't remember who it was.

;D ;D ;D so sad why 3070 became worthless than 3080 in other side

with this efficency 5700 clear win in every way, waiting rx 6000 series come to play

will beat 3090 in term memory mining performance with half the price

If the PTX 3070 sold in stores for $ 500, I would buy it.
60-64 mh and at 120 watts a good result for $ 500.
But I cannot buy this video card for less than $ 770 in stores, and for other models the prices go up to $ 850
