I doubt ETH will be mineable by March-ish 2019 (4 GB cards likely will stop being able to mine ETH when the DAG gets to ~3.5 GB because not all of the video RAM is used for the DAG), by then POS should have long taken over, but who knows, POS was meant to begin over a year ago!
I still would still buy 4 GB cards over 8 GB. There isn't really a performance difference between the 2 because the bottleneck is memory bandwidth (How fast the card can shuttle data back and forth between the GPU engine and the memory) which is the same for 4 and 8 GB cards.

You can view the profitability for various GPU's mining any of the major GPU mineable coins here: http://www.mycryptobuddy.com/Just select various GPUs from the "Hardware" drop down menu |

If you don't live in an apartment building, condo or anywhere else with lots of other wifi networks/interference wifi should be fine. If you do live somewhere with a lot of interference, I would run some lan cables, or use some of those ethernet over powerline adapters.
I personally live in a condo and I've found wifi to be a nightmare. Even though my adapters show my wifi network with full bars, every couple of days one of my rigs will disconnect due to interference, sometimes it wont reconnect until I physically remove and reinsert the wifi adapter or reboot the computer. I've lost days of mining time, not very fun.

Just use jumper on secondary Psu, dont buy that add2psu,
have 6 rigs running with jumper on every Psu that dont feed motherboard.
Before you turn everything on, just turn jumped Psus first, them start mother board
Profit
Can you please explain how you make/use a jumper. Total greenhorn here It's actually very simple https://forum.overclock3d.net/showthread.php?t=394I can attest that this method works too, but some may argue that it is slightly dangerous because the 2 PSUs wont share a common ground. I've use both add2psus and just manually jumping the slave PSUs, both worked fine with no issues. |

I use 2 PSUs for most of my rigs because the real value for PSUs is at the 750-850W range.
When you use an add2psu, one psu will become master (The one powering the motherboard) and the other will become the slave. To power off both PSUs just power off the master.
I wouldn't recommend putting all GPUs on one PSU, that is by far the majority of the power draw! MOBO and perifs tend to be < 100w if you're using a small CPU which you should be. Try to balance the load as evenly as possible. I tend to put 3 GPUs and the powered risers for those GPUs on the slave PSU and 2 GPUs, the powered risers for those 2, motherboard and perifs on the master. Has worked great for me. If you want to verify that you're balancing the load correctly, consider getting a power meter and test each PSU individually while your rig is mining.

:O Points for ingenuity but is that safe?? A 6 pin PCIe plug should be able to handle 75w. Theoretically a molex can handle 11A per pin, so that should be fine, but I'm not so sure about that cheap Chinese PCB. Does it get hot/warm during use?

What brand of card is it? If it's sapphire they let you control the voltage pretty easily through Trixx, which is a pretty good utility. If not maybe figure out what brand of memory is has and flash it with new memory straps and core voltage? Or just flash it only lowering the voltage

My rig contains 5 Rx470. I'm reduced voltage offset from wattools at -15 (15*6.25mv). Power draw from the wall for full rig @560-570W. XMR use the lowest power my full rig (5*700H/s) draw power at wall @460-470W. Hi, I would like to share my information A) Sapphire Nitro OC AMD RX470 (Core/Mem 1100/300) only core clock will effect the hashrate B) 600MH/s C) 100W from the Wall Hey guys, I run www.mycryptobuddy.com - a site which displays which coins are most profitable to mine for a given GPU (or for a custom setup). I'm in the process of adding PascalCoin to the list of coins, but I need some more information about the mining speed and power consumption for different cards. If you've tried mining PascalCoin, could you please share the following? A) Video card (rx 470, r9 7950 etc) and brand B) PascalCoin mining speed C) Power consumption, if available Thanks! Whoa, 100W?? That sounds crazy low. I thought Pascal consumes more power than ZEC or ETH, and those draw ~140-150W on the 470. Any crazy bios mod or undervolt? What are wattools? Going to have to put a bit more effort into flashing my 470's, they consume way more power  |

I know some of you guys have got that sweet info  |

So you don't know how write correctly your proper url site ?
Apparently not, thanks for catching that :p Works now |

Have a look at my tool www.mycryptobuddy.comIt shows you your historical profitability for different coins which allows you to make a better decision. Often a smaller altcoins will have a quick spike in profitability making it look best for that given moment, but looking at its average over time woutdoors reveal that it isn't! Let me know what you think really good! loving the historical data, thank you! is the GPU info for cryptonote up to date? Yes it's accurate as of about a week ago |

Just added a "fee" factor which can be changed individually per coin. This made Monero's profitability representation much more accurate seeing as it has the highest fee by default, it no longer appears on the top of the profitability list most of the time. Also added a PascalCoin calculator. Next feature: support for multiple custom miners |

Id like to see the option to compare different rigs as I think was suggested earlier in the thread. An example is if I have a rig of 380's and a rig of 480's, one will work better for one coin while the other may be better on something different. This specifically is what Ive been looking for for awhile now. Ive tried doing to in Excel but its not pretty.
Good work, looking forward to updates!
Also, Id focus more on users adding their own stats than building up a DB of stats... Its much easier to enter your own, each rig will be similar but slightly different depending on drivers, clock rates, mining software, etc...
So you'd essentially like to see a second "Daily Earnings" column beside the first one with the ability to enter a second set of hash rates to be able to compare the profitability between the 2 configurations? I actually had that in a pre alpha version, but decided it looked too cluttered and opted to remove it and have the graph beside the output table instead. I could easily re-implement it optionally with a "Compare to another setup" button or something. Alright, my short list is currently: 1) Add variable fees per coin 2) Compare to another setup feature Yes, I think thats what Id like to see. Maybe rather than showing it all on one screen you have a drop down box with different saved rigs. The user could quickly scroll through and see which works best on which coins. Right that would be even easier... I should be able to code that up in a few hours. Just wish I had more free time :p |
