Title: multiple 27mhs cards. what to mine? how much will it make?
Post by: sek001 on January 15, 2017, 11:26:08 PM
Hi guys so as the title says I can get multiple 27mhs Tesla k80 cards to mine.
I have read here
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  

so they do 27mhs.
What to mine? how does it translate in money? Mining calculators are telling me so different numbers. I never mined before so I need a little help.
I will get the cards almost for free to use for a while.
So how much $ an hour 1 card with 27mhs can mine?
What to mine?
Have no idea. Please advice. Thx.

p.s. these are the only cards I can get and I know that they are not the best but I get them for really cheap to rent.

Have a look here... Try the Nicehash Miner https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=nhmintro (https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=nhmintro)

27mh on ETH = $1 a day and will vary if electricity cost is a factor, for other coins the speed will need to be checked and profit calculated at whattomine.com (http://whattomine.com)

I don't think you'll find any altcoin that'll give you more than a few bucks per card per day.

Try ZEC. Nvidia cards do well in ZEC in terms of hash rate. Not sure ZEC needs all the double precision floating point calculation power available in the K80 cards, but the memory bandwidth and size are quite good compared to a GTX 1070 (which hash at around 400+ Sol/s) so I'd be surprised if they didn't hash at least as well.

You should try EWBF's miner (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1707546.0) and let us know what hash rates you got.

 $1 / hour is an INSANE expectation for any GPU on any coin.

 I don't believe any of the current ASIC units manage that on a single unit - despite MUCH higher front end cost.


 As far as GPUs go, I'm pretty sure the Titan X Pascal on ZEC makes the more per day - at ballpark $2/day for a $1200 card.
