Title: Nicehash power saving Post by: CrossroadBTC on March 03, 2021, 01:50:03 PM Anyone using Nicehash software here? I find something interesting using the software today and I've been trying to find ways to limit power draw when mining but Nicehash did the trick, I mined ethereum using gtx1660super at 31mh @82 watts max and also rx580s at 30mh using 80watts then I find out that Nicehash have power control, I though it was for show until I activate it in settings and click on low power mode, this decrease all my gpu power draw to 75 -76 watts for both the Nvidia and AMD cards, awesome, if you haven't done this it's worth checking out if you care about more power saving

Thst 70-90watts you seeing on screen is only part of the power the amd card is drawing. Amd driver does not report power through slot/riser...so you are missing a lot of what the card is actually using. There is no rx480 that draw actually 75w while mining. it may show that on the screen but when you measure rig power you will see actual system draw.
But you did save some poer by limiting.
