1050ti are very nice little buggers.
They do take more space i.e. you have to get more rigs and cards but they are very cost effective price of card vs. Hashrate, especially if your electricity is cheap

Example

13,5-14 mhs ethereum 55 watt, 50C
x2 = 27-28 mh ethereum, 110 watt. That's almost like 1070
CoSt of 2x 1050ti  lower than 1x  1070 if you can find it.
Drawback - need more pci szlots and more rigs.

Ok. Do it from Windows

Stop PC.
Remove the other card   ///disable onboard video (if you have enabled in bios)
Leave only the card you want to flash connected on the PC on the main slot.
 //Make sure all tools are stopped like msi afterburn, hwinfo, etc (if you use)


open CMD with Admin rights.
Try this first  (it may not be needed but just in case)
atiflash.exe -ai 0    (this will confirm your card is visible, it is using the dos tool, no harm in checking only)
atiflash.exe -unlockrom 0


Try then all steps with the win flash tool.  
backup bios,
edit
flash.
Reboot Pc

microtik

akuci:  I was wondering the same
It should be with Micron not Samsung.

No.

I do this and it usually works out.
1.Export bios from the atiflash.
2.Edit in latest polaris editor 1.67 (I think)
3. ati flash dos tool with    -ai X    shows info on each the GPU.  where X is the slot  (0, 1, 2, 3, etc).
4. flash from dos each card   -p X   (X is slot as how you see it windows 0, 1, 2, 3)   (because I have many cards and can't do from Windows ati flash).   can be forced with  -f  , can be done without force as well. Up to you if you are sure your bios is good.
4.5  patch driver if needed (only 1 time)
5. reboot after flashing last card.

are you using somebody elses bios file with your tweaks on top of it?
...also dont use gpuz for bios export. Try it from the ati flash tool to export bios.  

If by Elpida mean Micron for the Nvidias, then it is in the middle of Hynix and Samsung. OK  I guess.  and its better than Hynix.

Yes, ASIC for lbry, pascal, blake algos and sia.
Pretty much dual will  probably be not worth it in few months.

Can't you mod the cooling (cooler, fans, etc)?   May be exhaust the hot air betters, etc.
If you get much lower temp benefit would be bigger, yes ?
Not sure if paste can help for such high temps. Even if there is no paste at all at the moment and you put some cool paste, it may lower max 4-5 C I think.

Except the local stores have bumped the prices to crazy levels   +VAT tax

digital lord,  keep trying.
Look at newegg and bhphoto may be (if in usa), for few models and enter your email on each model page.  they sell every day but the stock is out quick. usually in 5 mins.
Amazon may work but they usually get your money for pre-orders which I don't like.

If feeling in gambling mode, try alibaba order from china   or forget about it...go have some rest and come after a month. Should be better.
Since the coin prices are not that crazy now and may be it would be stable, probably the whole out of stock situation will come back to normal levels again. As in the summer of 2017.

1060 if with micron or even better samsung. If with hynix you are screwed.
then 1070s follows it very closely right after.

That's about right. You can may be squeeze a bit more but do not expect 600 700.
I get around 470 with TDP 50.  70watts consumption.on 1060 ssc 6gb.

2% fee for balance payment up to 0.1btc to NH wallet. Above 0.1btc it's 3%
Withdrawal fee too if you don't use coin base wallet.
The other is miner soft fee. There are free miners.

Alibaba

MB and psu on plastic legs, gpu on raisers with insulation pads.
Put whatever you want for rack milk box shoe racks coffee tables lol

Currently the popular crypton coins from  whattomine earn lower than nicehash cryptonight.
Lot less. Sumo etn karbo etc. Since also NH disturbs the normal hashrate of those chains from the buyers pointing huge hashes to the coins.
At the end pf the day That's why sellers switch to these NH.
It used to be not like this but lately that's the reality for the whattomine crypto night coins.

I would clean drivers and start fresh make sure there are no driver leftovers.
Try with the late august beta blockchain driver.
No need to set compute for it.

So far so good.

Did you overclock core and mem with a tool like msi afterburner or simillar?

If not, try  core set to 1150, mem 1950 and retest ETH and xmr.
Something is limiting the gpu potential.


P.s.
For xmr you would have to play with the settings too, threads, blocks, etc to squeeze the max.but leave that part for now.

Slightly offtopic but

Evga
Zotac
 msi / asus
Gigabyte
Pny

In that order. I prefer the first 3

Pny are the cheapest quality I've seen. Gygabyte....Meeh...
But at the end of the day anything may work if price is good.
