240w is that whole computer. I will post numbers without 390 later.

edit: Ok, had to do it hard way.

With integrated gpu only system idles at 40w.
Add 390 947/1250 1.04 zec and system pulls 240w from the wall so 390 adds 200w.

Usually I test with separate psu which powers only the riser and pcie connectors of that gpu, that way you don't have to guess how much gpu uses when idling.

I have a pc with 390 and 295x2, 850w gold psu. 947/1250 @1.04 mining zec is 640w at the wall, after completely removing 295x2 240w from the wall so 295x2 with those settings pulls about 400w.

With default settings 860w at the wall  

Hawaii doesn't need 1.04V for 947, most efficient settings are normally volts below 1.0 and then find that highest stable core. Zec and xmr need some bios modding but eth is not memory limited so not much to do there.

Strix 390 normally has quite high default voltage so AB -100mV is still too high. Trixx can do -200mV.

I haven't tried it actually. How much is pallas doing? Again, buying was much more profitable, 800 satoshi would be 100x...

Pretty average result with fast coin and about 1/1000 of network + good setup. That is how it has always been and still is today.

Why don't you guys try it yourselves with ETC, nethash is 1T vs 20T?

Someone is buying about every mined zec. Miners do not have problem with that. Yet.

More fun , gpu0=7970 from 2014 2012 not even close to be optimized:

16.11.5 & W10

Undervolted & overclocked 390 again power limited:

Yep, it is all about fear/ greed. The real difference is that everyone can mine, in the end miner finds him/herself thinking why everyone else made more money than the one who made most of the work. That is how life works ))


I would be happy with any 1080 that has more than 2 years warranty left to local dealer. Must resist, must resist...

No it isn't but it is worth 10% less than yesterday so actually -$80 + $6 first day earnings, first 2-3 weeks just covering losses. LBC nethash is going to catch soon so there are not so many $6 days left.

Two used 1070/1080 would be better business.

And if you yesterday bought lbry instead of 1080ti you would have made 7.6% x $800=$60.80. No electricity costs, no fighting with hardware...

Did you try equihash or cryptonight? I have seen much bigger gains there with hawaii. Also memory clocks higher than 1250 give no more speed @dagger without REALLY high core oc. I never tried if really tight timings@1250 would give more eth speed.

Thanks for those bfr straps, going to try them later.

edit: Your nerdified stock 1250MHz bfr timings copied to 1500 made it, now those bfr cards I have been fighting with are doing closer what they should on equihash, +12%.

edit2: Thanks for that link, I have read it thousand times before but still couldn't see it before you linked it to me.

I like tinfoil, hats are great but much better use is to block that sunlight, sprayed water does the thing. You ready?

This asic 'giveaway' is just one small part of this hole ponzi-like btc&ltc pump that started somewhere in summer of 2016 )).

If you are after zec 1070 is the way to go. If that 'invisible hand' somehow disappears you might end up with gpu which mines well but costs too much.

Sell it and buy 470. Instant ROI.

Sell it and buy 2x470 if you have free slots.

Did you buy it from evga or some local dealer?

I have good experiences about evga-eu, rma takes about one week, you don't loose warranty (3 years) if you change custom cooler and sometimes they have good b-stock deals (1 year warranty).

AB settings - fan - enable user defined software automatic fan control?

Make a custom curve that fits your needs.

Nothing special in my bat really, most likely your cards are throttling. Have you tried really low dcri? Monitor your core clocks when mining, are they steady at those clocks you set?

If not you need to do something to get power usage down.
