OK, thanks for the info.  I figured that would be the expert response.

I have since tried lowering the memory oc to stock and leaving the core clock to +200.  No crashes yet and no change in hash rate.  Seems like the memory oc does not affect the dstm hash rate.

I wonder if the #s are a bit off for me as this is the version of the card that came factory oced from gigabyte.

Thanks.

Sorry forgot to mention that the card is running at 60 degrees temp or less with the fans at 30% - so it is not an overheating issue.

Thanks.

Hello All,

I have a 1 card rig running a Gigabyte 1070 ti Gaming OC edition.

Running HiveOS , I set the OC settings to +200core +1400 mem power max=115 watts as per the general recommendations I have read. This seems to give me the best sol/watt but I have not tweaked it too much to try other settings.

Been getting on average 490 sol/second at around 4.26 sol/watt, but the card does seem to crash 2x daily.

2018-04-21 10:40:25 AM|gpu 0 unresponsive - check overclocking
2018-04-21 10:40:25 AM|cudaMemcpy 1 failed

My questions for the more experienced folks: Is it OK to accept with the associated 40 seconds downtime between crash and miner restart 2 times per day?

Do you guys run OCed to get better hash and efficiency and accept that cards will go up and down or do you accept worse hash rates/efficiency to keep the cards up at all times?

Can these sorts of crashes damage the cards themselves?

Thanks

Hmmm I could pickup a used 1070 ti ASUS cerebrus for 650CAD.

Does the ASUS mine as well as the gigabyte ?

Anyone ever have issues getting a card fixed under warranty if you are second owner?

Not sure what to do...

So do I buy a card and go for it? seems like most folks here seem to think it is a waste of cash at this point....

How long do you think it would realistically take to make make back 800 CAD? I know there are lots of calculators out there but not sure which ones are hype and which ones I can trust?

Thanks.

Hello,

I am going to build a 1 card rig for now to try out mining. Looking to get some help from the experts on what to buy for the GPU.

I decided to go with the 1070ti due to the price difference vs the 1080ti.

Of these cards which do you recommend I go with (locally stocked):

GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1070 Ti WINDFORCE 8GB (GV-N107TWF2-8GD)  $750 CAD
GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1070 Ti GAMING 8GB (GV-N107TGAMING-8GD)  $799 CAD
MSI GeForce GTX 1070 Ti DUKE 8G $829 CAD
MSI GeForce GTX 1070 Ti GAMING 8G $850 CAD

Thanks for any help you can give.
