Dude,
Your not listening. You still haven't done enough googling, and your comprehension of any results is lame.
The above very experienced gentlemen are giving you some very valuable advice, the underlying assumption on their part being that you are trying to make some money. If this is indeed the case, then mine ZEC.
To add to the above data supplied by these gentlemen, around time that Claymore had published his best ZEC miner my ASUS 7970 DCII was getting around 15Mh/s on ETH but mining ZEC it was 300+. Moneywise it's no contest.
One other thing that your googling skills failed to turn up is that for especially old cards, mining ZEC consumes less power than ETH. So even more money is being made.
Yeah again i dont have a 7970 i have a 7950 and they only grab around 180h/s with zec. It's around 424% profitable with zec and 458% with eth. Sounds like you need to google more. 7950 should get like 280h/s with zec. If you are getting 180 h/s you most likely are referring to a 7870 or you need to overclock your 7950. IDK the internet told me anywhere from 170-230. Where have you seen 280? |

Also my 3Gb Tahiti is a 7950. Gets about 11.5mh/s right now. Havent looked into Z at all. Worth it with a 7950?

What GPU are you mining with that has 3GB? The only one I can think of is the Tahiti (7970/280x) and with that GPU you shouldn't even be mining ETH due to the DAG thrashing bug.
Mine ZEC with your 280X @ 300H/s
I'm running 5 1060's right now. 3 of them are 3GB cards. I thought they were pretty decent at Eth right now. 30-40 day ROI effectively on the 190$ cards. Score around 20Mh/s assuming around 120 watts a card. Oh, and you can actually buy them haha. I guess ill just unload the 3gb versions when they cant mine anymore? |

Don't be a dick. Iv'e done my fair share of googling on this one and with all of the fucking idiots in this business the answers vary greatly. Now the ignorance of your post can show itself in the time it took you to post some arrogant bullshit when you could have simply answered the question. |

LOL.
Since the OP was just registered like 2 months ago, and LTC has been around literally forever... I can't see any base to his claim whatsoever.

Hi there, I once read that with mining Ethereum, eventually the DAG size would exceed the VRAM of 3GB video cards?
I also read at some point that the DAG is no longer stored in VRAM essentially fixing this future problem?
Can anyone set me straight? Will my 3GB mining farm eventually be obsoleted by massive DAG files?

You only need a dummy plug if you use Windows, at least for AMD.
I do run windows right now but really only because I don't know linux well enough. Hashrates appear to all be better under linux even for nvidia. |

Beautiful, thanks a bunch! Going to be running a 4 GPU 1060 rig and that will work perfectly. |

You need a monitor or a dummy plug in the card plugged in the primary PCI-E x16 slot for the drivers to be able to read and set the fan and temperature settings. You also need to change the primary video to the PCI-E slot and not the on board video in the motherboard Bios.
Ahh so only one plug is needed for the main line. Got ya. With that established what do we use on cards that no longer have DVI? |

Sooo this might sound dumb to some lol. I haven't GPU mined on the newest gen of cards too much. My glory days were when litecoin was fighting to get above $3.00 and i was running 4 gpu 7950 rigs. So today is quite a bit different, and with the advent of claymore's cuda miner (always been nVidia guy for gaming), i have since looked to Ethereum for gpu mining on the array of cards i currently have.
So my particular question is this:
Since these newer cards lack DVI altogether, do we need any kind of dummy plug to get the cards to fire up like we use to? I use to have to have a DVi-VGA adapter plug with 4-6 resistors in it to trick it into thinking it was plugged into a monitor source, otherwise the cards wouldn't mine. So we still need to do this somehow? I recall needing to do it with my GTX 980 even when i putzed with ethereum about a year ago.
Thanks for the help guys.

Interested in the 580 but its value is a bit lower and it doesn't hash much better than my 1080. I get around 22-23Mh/s with my 1080. 480's are a bit more desirable as they generally hash higher and their cost is less.
something for you to think about...  480's are sold before they hit the shelves what are you talking about... I'm saying people want 480's more than 580's (if you can find one)unless i'm missing something. I wasn't disagreeing with you. I'm getting not much less than your 580 right now with my 1080, so i'm just saying that wouldn't be much incentive for me. |

Us or eu ?
USA. Not entirely against shipping to EU, but in doing so we'd need to ship same time. I can't waste three weeks+ in down time due to shipping... it would completely negate this move for me. Any USA is no problem though. |

how moderately used?
I might be willing to trade a moderately used 580
Gamed with it on and off for the last few months. Never did any mining. That changed today though. Interested in the 580 but its value is a bit lower and it doesn't hash much better than my 1080.

Hey guys, have a moderately used GTX 1080 Founders edition i'd be willing to part with. Looking for trades on RX480's and potentially other eth mining cards. Just more or less gauging interest... I will post some pics later tonight when i get home.
PM's fine and posts here are fine. Bought and sold a few things on this board, that been said, willing to do escrow, otherwise honestly i'm not looking to scam people and would like a fast transaction.

Ethereum is the new Bitcoin guys.
Bitcoin had a lot of bad headlines in public. But Ether is rising now for the masses. Alone the name of the fifth element is gorgeous.
How fucking hilarious is this thread these days.  |

Would just like to point out this thread started 6 months ago. And the coin still isn't dead and is showing no signs of dying lol.
Also bro if the coin fell 5-10% a day as you say, it would be dead in no more than 20 days. Stop talking. Its maybe 20-30% below where it was 6 months ago....
