Hi,

I am new in this. I want to know how to convert cryptocurrency into the hard cash in US$? I live outside USA but have a bank account in US. Is it possible to put money in my bank account through some exchange or any other mechanism.

Thanking you in anticipation.

Rizwan

Hi,

That's very important information that 580 aims only for ETH.

Based on above, I have one question. How do you know if one card is specific for one currency or another card could be used for multiple currencies.

Thanks and regards,

Rizwan

Thanks.

How about this one?

Hello,

Thanks for your reply. One related question. Is DAG thing only applies to Ethereum or other/all cryptocurrencies as well?

Regards,

Riz

Thanks Jdope.

One related question. Is brand a restriction i.e. does for eg. all should be Sapphires or Sapphires can be mixed with XFXs within the same 400 series?

Regards,

Riz

Hi,

I understand that DAG file loads in the VRAM of GPU. The current size of DAG is approx. 2 GB and same cards are useless for mining.

Is it advisable to use 4 GB GPU (specifically RX 470)? Any idea when DAG would reach at 4 GB size?

Thanking you anticipation.

Riz

Hi,

I want to know something really crucial for me and would be really thankful if you give our opinion on and share experience with that:

I have decided on board, that is, Asrock H81 Pro BTC R2.0. For the GPU I think RX 470 4GB would be a better option for me. I am short of funds for buying 6 GPUs at once. And 470s are in bit short of supply in market. In case 470s are out of stock then my fallback would be to mix and match RX 470 4GBs with RX 480 8GBs for example three 470s and three 480s.

Before getting into purchase, I want to be 100 percent sure that is it possible to do that with Asrock H81 Pro BTC R2.0? Anyone did that? What were the issues faced? Lessons learned? Advise?

Thanking you in anticipation.

Regards,

Riz

Hi,

Saw on video on comparison of RX 470 cards. As per video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYoTrdJ-HNw) RX 470 4GB (Efficiency tuned) is the most effective GPU with 2.3 Watts / Mh/s.

The stats are:

1) RX 470 4GB:
90 Watts
28 Mh/s
3.2 Watts / Mh/s

2) RX 470 8GB:
105 Watts
30.5 Mh/s
3.4 Watts / Mh/s

3) RX 470 4GB (Efficiency tuned):
56 Watts
24 Mh/s
2.3 Watts / Mh/s


Can someone please compare RX 470 4GB (Efficiency tuned) with RX 480 8GB (excluding price factor).

Thanks and regards,

Riz

Hi,

If it supports 5 GPUs (physically fit) at the same time then its OK 

By Pro BTC, which one do you mean?

a) ARRock H81 Pro BTC
b) ARRock H61 Pro BTC
c) other, please specify

Regards,

Rizwan

Hi,

I am bit confused by the following two statements:


FIRST:
====
Can you physically fit five cards though?
Depending on the width of the card I think you could definitely fit three, but I think the size of the GPU would be the main factor.
IMO this is just supporting multiple GPU.


SECOND:
======
Are you serious? 5 GPU?
IMO this is just supporting multiple GPU.



Please let know the difference between "physically fitting multiple GPUs" and "just supporting multiple GPUs".

Thank you in anticipation.

Hi,

Basic question Please let me know how many GPUs (at a time) this motherboard can support:

2 x PCIe 3.0 x16
1 x PCIe 2.0 x16
2 x PCIe 2.0 x1


Its ASUS P8Z77-V LK - motherboard - ATX - LGA1155 Socket - Z77

Thanks,

Riz

Hi,

Can someone please suggest motherboards supporting more than two GPUs, preferably, a board compatible with both AMD and nVIDIA (at the same time).

Thanking you in anticipation.

Rizwan

Hi Zombijs,

Thank you for your reply,

It is around 100 US$.

Can you please suggest the machine that would support more than 2 GPUs.

Regards,

Rizwan

Hi,

Can you please advise if this machine would be suitable for GPU-based mining. It supports two GPUs. The spec are:
