Hi,

just about curiosity ... we wanna buy some new blade servers in out company and stepped over the nVIdia Tesla M60 ... does anyone know how much this card can hash?
due the high price i don't think there are any hash-specs out here?!

my co-workes and i just want to know what could have been hashed with this badass GPU :D

Thank you

Telsa's don't hash much *IF* any more than the high-end same generation non-Tesla Nvidia cards.
TOTAL waste of money comparatively.

For Nvidia GPU mining, it's all about the number of CUDA cores, the clock, and is it MAXWELL based (I believe these are) for power efficiency.

If the GPUs are not fully utilized you canmine during the down time and find out. Of course any mining revenue would go
to the owners, not the employee.

BTW - blade servers don't USE seperate cards in any event, they're limited to what is on the blade and possibly some expansion of RAM and drive.

Looks like the M60 is a compute 5.2 device with 4048 cores spread on 2 gpu's.. I guess it will mine as fast as 2 gtx 980's. Around 40MHASH in the quark algo with the sp-mod release 78

4048 cores? whooo! What is hash power of this card?
And how much consuming electrical power?
I always thought AMD is better.

AMD is better at some things, Nvidia better at others - and details of who is better at what changes sometimes.

 AMD for example has ALWAYS rocked RC5 (distributed.net project), while Nvidia has tended to usually be quite a bit better at Folding@home, just for 2 examples I'm directly familier with.

 Mining has varied - simpler algorythms like SHA256 were AMD ruled, more complex stuff like X11 has bounced around some with each new generation release between the 2 manufacturers.


 What has ALWAYS been constant is that Intel graphics are very very very low performance and that has carried over into GPU computational projects when Intel finally was able to start supporting such.

You can try also use M60s at GPUGRID:

NVidia is the worst system 4 coin mining.  >:( >:( >:(

I got 2 of M60 for testing and here are the results for mining revolver coin (XRE)

7.5MH/s per GPU core, which brings about 15MH/s total per card.

The 'problem' with these types of cards is that they are passively cooled and therefore have more conservative clock speeds. That puts them well below gaming GM204 cards. Ok you'll have two on one card, but for a magnitude of the price higher.

I tried ethminer on a Tesla K80 (dual GK210) the other day, and couldn't get more than 27MH/s out. By comparison, a single GK110 (fairly identical to GK210) on a GTX780 does about 17.5MH/s with stock clocks, 20+ Mh/s OC-ed  

But if you really want a solution you can put in a blade server, you could also look at Grid K520 (dual GK104). You can buy two for the price of a single M60, and will hash ETH at 48MH/s (12MH per core). Or simply launch them from AWS g2.8xlarge instances, those are dual K520). But even if you run them from spot instances, it won't be profitable.

This was just for fun and research before these get into production they were bought for.
Thanks for clearing out why they under perform GTX980.
Btw. they are installed as pair in rack mounted server, not blade.

Hello, can someone tell me which miner to use with that M60 card or can the normal miners (like Claymore) do the job?
