$460 for a 1660 is very expensive...like all gpu right now.
I buy gpus when prices are normal....during times like this i either just mine or sell gpu....

What's free? There is no such thing as free electricity unless you build green energy like solar system or wind turbine, if that's from government then it's not free, anyways just know that RX550 isn't Profitable at all, the RX560 is a bit better, it can do 10mh per sec with 45 watts, that's 0.80$ per day
I think RX550 have 4gb GPUs too, you can easily see that using Minerstat calculator, and it says this card can do 11mh/s on Ethereum network, that's not bad, very close to a 1$ right now, OP can still make close to 2$ every 24 hours with these two cards, put them to work already before it's too late 11mhs was before dag went over 4gb..not that its larger all 4gb cards keep decreasing. Right now a 550/560 is doing 5-7mhs only. Soon it will be even lower. So $0.65 a day at best currently. Every 4.5 days it will decrease. |

did you mod the bios on these or are the stock?

I'm having issues on my everyday computer. The phoenixminer runs fine for 25-65 minutes before the miner just pauses and says press any key to continue. I don't see an error message and I've checked the logs too. I've tried this with an AMD 480, Nvidia 1070, and now a 3090. No matter what I try, this happens to me. I've been monitoring temps and checking for errors with HwInfo and I see nothing. Thank you.
What is the sleep time on the computer? Screen saver? Sounds like something is occuring at a set interval that is causing he miner to stop. No sleep timer. I've set everything to always on. No screen saver either. That's what I figured as well but can't seem to figure it out but would those things really cause the miner to pause? Also, when unpause the program just closes and I have to restart the miner. Make sure you dont have any bios settings for idling the cpu or lowering usage....i always disable this but since it happens to all the different cards its most likey something at board level or OS level. Also disable any virtualization in the cpu as this can also cause issues. Was gonna suggest watching temps but sounds like you have eliminated that as well i wouldnt expect all 3 cards to suffer from it. |

I'm finding it hard to make a decision here, I need your opinions, I was lucky to find a store in my country that have high number of graphic cards from RX580 8gb to RX5500XT and RX5700xt for cheap price, I believe the seller have got the cards before their price skyrocketed, the RX580 8gb for 250$, RX5500XT for 280$ and the RX5700xt for 570$ , which one is the best to go for if you are in my shoes ??
And this is good price? 5700 for 570$. Well it is if you are the seller  |

Every connector is a point of failure so I prefer to minimise them as much as possible.
That's false if reducing the number of connectors increases the load on each one, which is exactly what you are proposing. Yes exactly! And as is written earlier, 3060Ti uses about 20W from riser, rest will come on 2x8pin in your case. This is why i work in watts per connector and per chain from psu. If you stay inside those limits you are fine. 👍 |

If its a physical store selling at those prices...you should jump on them...if its via shipped be very skeptical.

Hello, i run 4 different 3080 on a Z68 Extreme 3 Gen 3. Whenever i try to run all 4 together one card randomly idles. At the end it goes like this  Sometimes is get this at the "initialisation" after retry  Does anyone knows how to fix it? Tell us more about the rig. Are cards on risers or all on mobo? Windows or linux? |

There are no exchanges. The coin fell off all exchanges and pretty much died in 2019.

Try going back to stock bios and see if oc/uv allows any change.
If it does then need a different bios mod.

1 8 pin PCIe power connector 288W max
1 6 pin PCIe power connector 216W max
4-pin Molex power connector 156w max
SATA power connector 54W max
Wattage is total for the each connector max as well as the total each chain of connectors can have (if there are 3 4-pin molex on one wire set from PSU then the total power draw on that chain cannot be more than 156W max).
Splitters do not increase the wattage per chain.
Keep within the wattage limits and buy good quality psu's and wire sets and have no issues.
F around and burn something down.

Do not buy any old ones.
buy amd
5500 8gb
5600 6gb. weakest choice due to 6gb but if you get it cheap buy it.
5700 8gb
6800 xt 16gb
6900 xt 16gb overkill
with or with out the xt
buy
nvidia
3060ti 8gb
3070. 8gb
3080. 10gb
3090. 24gb over kill
I would buy any of the above if I can get them cheaply
these are my least favorite to buy.
the amd 6900 xt
the nvidia 3090
but If I can get any of the above at proper pricing I would buy 2-3k worth
hi thank you for your reply First question is this site show correct profit about gpu for now : https://minerstat.comfor example its show about $4.15 DAILY for this model rx 6900 xt so is this site show correct ? another question for example if my motherboard have few slot sold then can i use mix gpu model from difference brand ? for example use RX 580 with 6800 xt and 3070 on one motherboard ?is this work whiteout any problem for mining on windows ? You can mix teams of gpus (Amd/nvidia). It does complicate things a bit more but it works. I mix them in linux on several rigs with no issues. I think you want to put the nvidia card in the first gpu slot for some reason but just the way i do it...im sure somebody else does it other ways. The 6900 is a bad choice because it has a low return vs its high cost. Same for 3090. They are nice cards but just too expensive vs other cards....although all cards are crazy price right now most places. A 3060ti or 5700XT are better choices...as the 3070/3080 and 6800 cards. Both Minerstat and whattomine.com are fine calculators. Its a moving target and its only an estimate. |

I cant get proper hashrate on the GPU connected to the monitor.
That one gets 1mhs, while the others get 53mh/s.
(3x 5700xt, win10, latest amd driver)
If you have an igpu on the proc/mobo use it and mine on the gpus. |

Hi
Please tell me which gpu is better for ETH ?
my budget is not much its about $600 and i know gpu is expensive for now but if i wan start then can you please tell me which one is better ?
if i want buy one gpu then please tell me which one is better ? for example can i make $2 or $3 per day ? my electricity is cheap
thank you
Whattomine.com answers all these questions. |

Hm, thats true, Conflux isn't available on whattomine platform for unknown reason but only Minerstat calculator has conflux (octopus algorithm) integrated, I don't mine with RTX2060 and others because they are less profitable and not worth their money but good for gamers
Sure it is...its called by the algo its used..Octopus....lower left of the listed algos. Shows 2080 = 48.8 2080ti = 58.5 3060ti = 48.0 3070 = 52.7 3080 = 77.0 And yes on paper conflux is more profitable....but the 24volume is only 1.5btc where as eth is over 16,000btc....liqudity is an issue for conflux vs eth. You can always trade eth....second most liquid coin for miner...only btc is more. But calc says i make more....but you have limited market and limited volume to compete with everyone else who only thinks about cal number and liquidity. Also we will see after this boom if conflux is even a thing. Eth will be. The 24hrs volume of Conflux token is just 1.5btc so how is this bad for miners? You can sell whatever you mine every 24hrs if you think the volume isn't good enough or can shrink later, I used to mine graft coin with cryptonight algorithm and at the time it has only 20,000$ volume per day, I always switch to Monero using trade ogre exchange, you are good as far as there is buy orders For you maybe 1.5BTC 24volume is enough. Maybe you sell everyday. I can easily but prefer to time the sales of my farms mined coins to good times...like last few weeks ive sold a lot of ETH i mined in last 18 months. It drives the profits up. So small volume market coins are less attractive to major coins for my strategy. Also i prefer not to be limited to 4 exchanges 3 of which i wouldnt bother putting accounts on. I didnt say it wasnt profitable, but i also dont go chasing what is most profitable right this second. I prefer stable mining with good profit. Since i take profits only periodically based on market performance...there is a lot more risk with Conflux for me. Ill stick a few rigs on it...after i study the chart more. Big drop in hash rate on it today (droped about 25% of its network hashrate)...which looks to match the sharp rise in difficulty. See .... https://confluxscan.io/charts |

Since they will be in prebuilt only at first dont expect great things out of them. But maybe in a few years Intel will actually have a gpu even worth talking about.

PI Network have tarnished their own image even if they are real and have something good in mind, all their ways are bad from the beginning, a very long time delay, spamming on forum with new accounts, also I would like to ask why KYC for mining? I have never seen this in crypto space before, is PI Network centralized? Or decentralized.
Mining is a process to detemine allocation of mainnet premine. KYC is to ensure 1 person 1 account and to ensure people aren't cheating the allocation process. Pi network will be decentralized when mainnet is released. Until then it is not. To ensure people aren't cheating in what way? It's like telling me that I am cheating Ethereum because I am using 10 graphic cards to mine Ethereum, it's hardware that I spent my money on, that's real mining mate, fully decentralized and can't be controlled by any organization, Pi mining sucks They are collecting the personal data. |

This error is very common and it's said to be an issue with graphics drivers, use DDU to uninstall the graphics drivers and download a latest AMD driver and see if it works, also don't forget to activate the compute mode in the driver settings
I dont think HiveOS built on linux uses DDU...but thanks for the windows advise. And that compute problem is again a windows problem only. |
