how much eth do you got in a day? how much the hashrate? i really curious about your mining cards.
29.3 MH/s with power limit on 50, which would amount to 90 watts from the wall after factoring an 80+ efficiency PSU I'm gradually raising the memory clocks up to find the highest stable hash rate I can make with the power limit on 50. Right now 29.3 is the mean hash rate did you tried with a power limit under 50%? it become too unstable? Memory gets odd when nearing 800. I got a severely laggy and frozen screen a few times pushing 800 with the power limit on normal when I first started mining ETH. It seems like 560-600 is where you can achieve a clean stable 29 hash rate but yet going to 800 hardly raises the rate and the hash rate is instable since the core clock is fluctuating too much. I forgot what the memory was on at the time but I found that setting the core clock offset from -200 to -175 managed to stabilize the core clock. I've observed a trend with core clock fluctuations and hash rates. Stablizing the core clock can sometimes make a hash rate bouncing around fix right to the higher value. As for problems at 800 memory, maybe it was only because the power limit was normal allowing the core clock to get too high with the memory. I'm just upping the memory slowly through the days and setting it back a bit over night to make sure it keeps mining the long hauls. so you have not tried with 45% power limit? and yes mem after 600 and up to 1000 just make nice artifact and that's it, i would avoid overclocking too much to not damage the gpu in the long run What temps and power limit are good for Nvidia long term mining? Also, my core clock goes to base after 6-8 hours, should I somehow set it to be always in boost? According to me, the best to make it last long is to stay at core clocks. Not changing anything will be the best for longevity. |

It seems that the 1070 are very hot cards, because my R9 380 are colder with a reasonable fan speed and are in my not so cold basement. If I put my miners outside, they can get to 40°C or less easily I think.
Doubt it - R9 380s tend to run in the 70C-80C range OR HIGHER when mining from everything I've seen. No bloody WAY they're running at 40c WHEN MINING. If you have software that's claiming they're running that cool, I'd BET it's either broken or it was older software for the HD 7xxx / R9 2xx series that wasn't updated correctly for the R9 3xx series. Now, with MSI Afterburner, I can tell you that my cards are running between 52°C and 59°C with fans pushed at a bit more of half of their capacity. |

yeah and you can tweak it to the unbelievable level of 80-90w for 30MH, just decrease the core and the power limit and increase the mem
no other card can match this result at the moment, i'm still laughing at those saying that 1070 was trash in etheruem...
If only a 1070 didn't cost more than the price of a couple of 970, I would have surely took one, except if you, Amph, can advise me to take a 1070 instead of the couple of 970 I'm planning to buy. i personally don't like living in the past when it come to IT or HW in general, the only reson to buy a 970 would be if your budget is low and your electricity is very very cheap otherwise we are talking about 30MH at 80-90w against 44MH at 300w Me, that's the inverse, I tend to prefer old tech for its finished improvements and its low price. I really don't care of Ethereum, this is just a backup option. On other algorithms, is the level consumption gap so big ? I doubt about it. Also, two 970 surely craft more coins daily than a single 1070. on other coins the 1070 is even better than a 970, a 970 can barely do 150MH on lybry, for 300w or more a single 1070 can do almost 300MH with half the wattage... Yeah, for LBRY, that you seem to like pretty much, the gap is wide, but for something like Groestl, Neoscrypt or LyraRE2V2, can the fact that a 1070 is more than 2x more expensive compensate the gain in hashrate and the reduction in power consumption ? Also, can the 1060, given that's there only about 60$ of difference from a 970 and better performances, be the best compromise ? lyra2v2 is the same 22MH for a 970, 40MH for a 1070, i don't know at the moment about groestl, for neos is different, 750 against 1000, i suspect there can be improvement there, from drivers side, because on linux a 1070 can do 1200KH 1060 seems worse than expected, it's not scaling well with the 1070, on most algo yeah and you can tweak it to the unbelievable level of 80-90w for 30MH, just decrease the core and the power limit and increase the mem

Also, can the 1060, given that's there only about 60$ of difference from a 970 and better performances, be the best compromise ? Well. Depends how long you plan to mine for. With that said, you will have a much easier time selling a GTX 1060 in a few years than you would a GTX 970. A GTX 1060 should be easier to sell at 3 years of age than a 970 would be at 3 years of age. This generation really stepped up over the usual. If you was buying a GPU for a budget build would you choose a GTX 470 or a GTX 660? Also if mining difficulty rises up, you may not even consider a GTX 970 even worth using. In the long haul of mining and for the sake of selling the hardware, this gen is the way to go. Other years I would have reasoned with the past tech. The jump in both power and efficiency and the new DX12 makes it like a skipped generation. And like the above post as Amph said. The GTX 1060 doesn't really scale with the GTX 1070 like expected. Normally the GTX 1060 or RX 480 would be my budget for my main computer but the GTX 1070 just delivers so much more power in regards to the cost Two very interesting posts. My interest in the 1060 lies in the fact that it is only 25% more expensive than a 970 and that it delivers more than 25% more I think for less wattage. A 1070, that costs more than two times more than a 970, is a lot better, I know, but I prefer to go small by small. Facts about DX12 are interesting, and now make me think to really buy a new generation GPU. |

Ignoring the fact that "best" is, in and of itself, highly speculative and vague.
There's zero chance anyone can answer this without knowing what you're mining with.
I don't mine anycoins actually. I have a Nvidia GTX 980 so I am looking for the best. The GTX 980 is really a very good graphic card. Ethereum, classic or forked, is a very good choice I think due to its relative price stability. I have however no idea of how much you can squeeze out of it. |

Ok thanks..
I am having issues while mining on windows 10.. my gpus just go to sleep.. anyone knows what the issue might be ?
Might it be weak PSU? I am running 2 1070s on corsair tx750v2
adjust the power setting for windows 10, remove the 10/30 min sleep for both the monitor and the system Does removing sleep on the monitor actually matter? It might consume a few watt less. However, by not having a mouse attached to my miner 24/7, I removed the screen sleep so I can check from time to time what's going on. |

What I'd like to get is the hashrate on other algorithms than Hashimoto. I near don't care of this one.

Even if I support more Ethereum Classic in the way it is meant, immutable, decentralised..., I'm afraid that only Ethereum will be leading, since its development team is the only real one of the two competitors.

Some things need to be considered with Ethereum : this is the most irrational crypto-currency on exchange platforms and it has the branding. I don't see any reason why parity would be reached, except in ETH sinking to ETC level.

I personally use Cryptonator. Why I love it is because it's available on mobile phone, so I can get it anywhere. Plus the integrated convertor (main purpose of the app) is very useful.

I don't know what to think of this "Ethereum Classic" beside that I don't like it. I'm kinda loyalist, and will stick to Ethereum which is backed by a world-renowned team while Ethereum Classic is made by random people on the Internet  ... Having it more profitable than Ethereum won't last long, since a little price change kills everything... |

Unfortunately it's already out of stock. What is that amateurism ? They had a lot of time to prepare stocks  ! Anyway, I said that I'll get an NVidia card for my next setup so I'll stick to this plan. |

What are the minimum specs for the server to be able to handle at least one transaction per second if not more ? Also, as pointed above, the demo like is dead.

For me, it was about 3 months and a half. I bought 3x R9 380 that I'm very satisfied of. I'm now planning to buy a 1060 when price will be back to the normal.
are you mining with those? Yes I am. I'm very satisfied of these. They're powerful but yet silent. Their temperature is very good. However I have no idea of the consumption, but that should be below 200W per card. |

To add something, if a change would ever to be done, I would still prefer that the new algorithm would Qubit, Keccak or better than else Lyra first of the name. The two ones because they'll never be ASIC-attacked and the last one for the really low power consumption. Best is still no change.

The best is by far no change. Changing it to X11 will mean the death of mining to the big farms and ASICs.
