I noticed Nvidia cards do better when I set the PCI-E slot to GEN 3 in the Bios. Also try increasing the virtual ram in Windows to 16GB or more 500 H/s is too low for a 1080. The 385.41 drivers work the best for me on Windows 10. Newer drivers aren't as good for mining. Try those after a DDU. http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/123219/en-usMy Zotac AMP Exterme 1070 gets 470 H/s at 80% power limit. |

I also go with Coinmine.pl. Way better than the official pool.

My MSI Gamixg X 1080 easily gets 575-585 H/s at 75% Power Limit with Temp Limit 83C, Core +185 MHz Memory +1000 MHz in Afterburner. I can get it over 600 H/s if I increase the power limit.  |

The settings above should be stable for most RX 580 cards. Glad to pay it forward, there are lots of developers like jaschaknack that are more deserving for the contributions they make.

Glad to hear it helped  You can also undervolt the core -100 mV and set the power limit to -15% in Afterburner to save on power. Also check and see if there are GPU memory errors using HWinfo. If there are any, you can lower the memory clock by 25 MHz until there are none. |

Diversify, that's what all the big farms do.

IMO, the goal should be maximum profitability, not maximum efficiency. The two are not the same and the extra hash from running less efficient settings may still be profitable depending on your power costs.

Maybe with a KVM PCI-E passthrough?

Yes, you can run up to 8 AMD card with the blockchain Dag fix drivers or 12+ on the Windows 10 Fall Creator's Update v1709 with the new Crimson Relive 17.11.x drivers in compute mode.

When you are mining what you do is you are buying at a lower than market price depending on your $/kwh cost , but in a TIME BASIS , which means you have to wait certain amount of time to get certain amount of coins (depending on your hashrate) , and thats not like buying at a very low price all at once and thats the disadvantage of mining over buying , when you buy , you just buy the amount you need all at one price which will be the support price or whatever you think it's good to go , then selling on a peak this strategy drives the profits 2xup or 3xup than mining or buying on time basis
It's only a disadvantage if the price of the coin you buy goes up substantially. With mining you are accumulating value no matter what happens with the coin, as long as it remains profitable to mine. Accumulating FIAT value not coin value , as the price goes up with time your income satoshi/day decrease Fiat/day stays the same , so you are mining to sell to make a fiat profit don't expect much from this. , crypto is thing going up not fiat so if i want to make big profit i should be in the right side of the game It depends on what you do with the coins you mine. If you sell, then you lock in your profit in fiat and pay off your rig in time. If you mine and HODL and the coin goes up, then you get the appreciation on top of the mining profit. |

Thanks for the replays, didn't mean to post in the wrong spot, one more question if you dont mind, what kinda of profit is there in a 6 card rig with Nvidia 1070 cards is it worth doing at all, my math shows if I'm right a 8 - 9 month ROI if this is true it is a big gamble!!! but then again if threes not a fair profit I can't see why people would do it?
Thanks, Jeff.
Mining isn't profitable now , i think who bought some coins and hold them for a month or two have made a much much more profit than who mines even if he holds too, mining is a game which is a risk free and profit free too  That's definitely not the case for ETH. If you bought ETH two months ago and held, you would be no better off today. If you built a mining rig two months ago and sold the ETH you mined, you would be paying off the mining rig with the profit you made. Also a good idea to HODL 10-20% of the coins mined. But if you hold btc for the last two months ,..thats what am talking about , if you are investor you should not just focus on one coin I have made almost double the profit of mining by holding BTC last two months , and i am a miner too so i have experienced both at the same time , i just know that there is a 2 forks this period so it will drive the price up no way ... no rocket science , without doing any work or burning electricity , i have made 2x what my mining machines did for two months. You also could of sold the ETH for BTC and held instead of converting to fiat and still had the BTC appreciation on top of the profit from mining. What's good about mining is your ongoing costs are basically the same no matter what coin you mine and since your cost is less than the market value of the coin, you come out ahead as long as the coin is profitable. With buying and holding there is only one way to come out ahead, the price must go up from where you bought it. |

Would you like to buy MY one of ANTDRIER D3 ? OF COURSE NO HA ? BECAUSE you have only trolling here , no body will invest 2000usd for any device brings 20usd per month. BITMAIN gives 180days warranty so this unit can not make 2000usd in his lifetime. This is totally loss. Not related with lack of research. Simple question do you have anyminer? Bitmain never said you would make your money back in 6 months. You simply foolishly ASSUMED that would be the case and it looks like you were wrong. That's the risk you take when buying a single purpose machine in a highly speculative market with ZERO resale value after it becomes obsolete. Do your research BEFORE you buy and if you can't afford the risk, DON"T BUY. who says ? one of bitmain worker who is trying to improve his salary.. huh . This is not a gamble nor game, if miner does not makes any profit so nobody will buy or operate the miner , this is crystal clear. Which research did you do ? how do you know howmany units bitmain is going to sell ? so any oversold units can be obsolete after 3 months.So dont tell your sci-fi stories. You did not do any research and you can not do unless you have information inside the company. The only thing that's crystal clear is you're an idiot that invests $2,000 in a highly speculative venture and expects the company that's selling the tool to do the research for him. At least you learned it's not as easy as you thought. |
