Hi all, whats the latest and greatest for eth hash in 2022?

Still using ethminer 0.18 and ethlargment. Used to get 55 Mh/s, now its dropped to 35 Mh/s -- this can't be pure from difficulty increase can it?

Found current 1080Ti benchmarks still getting 50+ Mh/s -- not sure if they are legit

Seeing threads on using t-rex miner, and phoenix miner being the current fastest.

Mining specs:

gpu: GTX 1080ti
os: debian 11
driver: nvidia-legacy-390xx-driver

Whats the recommended miner and hashrate for ETH on a GTX 1080 Ti?

I feel like this is too much.

I'm at 105W idle (Xeon + 64 GB ECC RAM, using this for other things when not mining).

I recently upgraded drivers and swapped the power supply. Was at 480W before.

NVIDIA 398.11

AMD Driver 18.5.2

Claymore 11.6 + ETHenlargement ~ 100 Mh/s

OC Programs:
MSI Afterburner 4.5.0
OverdriveNTool 0.2.6

Any ideas on what I'm missing?

One boot it showed 430W but then crashed after 15 min when I tried to login remotely.

Are most algos for nonce + hash generation formally proven to be completely random?

Is there a more effective method to generate nonce's rather than random brute force search?

Has anyone done any research on nonce / hash patterns?

Statistically speaking, there are fewer higher difficulty solutions so the probability of randomly 'landing' on one is low but if there's a way to guarantee any part of the hash, then it would drastically improve hashrate.

Systems specs:

Win 10 x64
64 GB ECC RAM
Vega 64 + GTX 1080 Ti

Each software was run on the same machine, using the same drivers for a few days. The overclocks on the cards were the same.

I'm getting ~82 Mh/s and a healthy shares/hr is >70% of Mh/s which is 57.4 shares/hr.

The difference in shares/hour between claymore-10.3-nofee and claymore-10.5 is slightly over 5%

This is not rigorously scientific but hopefully a helpful first attempt at discovering the most effective and efficient mining software and supporting  developers properly.
