It's not just this, but also the first USB RISER PCIE 16x made in Italy. Totally better than the chinese models, tantalum capacitors and MLX, 6 PIN and 8 PIN PCIE compatibility (with custom cryptenergy 12/16AWG cables with GOLD pins, and possibly dedicated capacitors to enhance ripple suppression)   so you copy Chinese riser, and made it in italy ? isn't it just made it more expensive? and also why still using molex powered, chinese already step ahead with PCIE powered with 12v to 5v step down regulator to prevent Molex/SATA PSU cables burned while using RX series AMD GPU   |

Like Quint said, nVidia is way better at F@H than AMD. A GTX 1070 can get at least 600K PPD while folding, which equates to about 25 CURE and 2250 FLDC per day...which in turn equates to about 0.0038BTC per day for a single 1070 at current prices. Looking at whattomine.com I am seeing that for 150 Sol/s (about what a 480 or 290 can do) you net the equivalent of 0.003 - 0.0032 BTC per day. So nVidia has things it is better at and can be more profitable. You just need to mine (or fold for) a coin that is more suited to the hardware. It's not the devs' fault that most algos are better suited to AMD.
True about needing to do proper workload for profit, but by your calculations, 1070 is 22% more profit per day, which is good until you factor in you can get a 480 for $200 on a good sale, and it is hard to find a 1070 much below $400. 480 per day has been between ~0.0030 BTC and ~0.0042, so it is best for mining right now. Also true about up-front costs. However, ppl complaining that zec miners need to be more optimized for nVidia are barking up the wrong tree. Even if a miner was optimized for nVidia, how much better do you think it's going to be? It's still not going to outperform a 480 in a memory-hard algorithm. Best to find a different coin to mine. This. It's silly I keep seeing people want an optimized Nvidia miner, when in the end, it wouldn't be a good choice going with Nvidia. Best case 1070 is similar speed to 480, like on Ethereum. yup, like I said, just go back to gaming, find another coin, or sell for AMD gpu nvidia has higher upfront cost, give you longer time for ROI. even if there are coin dev (and yes there was) that create algorithm that suit and optimized for nvidia, and launch optimized miner before coin launch, AMD still beat it on performance/cost (atleast upfront cost and time to ROI) |

piece of ***t  did you read that All you have to do for mining is to run list.bat to get device ID's and edit and run silentarmy.bat @echo off
set GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
set GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
set GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
set GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
set GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
silentarmy.exe --use 0 -c stratum+tcp://us1-zcash.flypool.org:3333 -u t1NwUDeSKu4BxkD58mtEYKDjzw5toiLfmCu.kensaku -p z
pause but there is no silentarmy.exe in the repo epic fail! ofcourse there are no binary exe in the repo, go to release tab : https://github.com/zawawawa/silentarmy/releases |

Agree that NV can be competitive, but I know due the larger AMD community, fee miners and AMD devs are a lot more inclined to release and work on miners, so ppl/miners are even more happy with paying then getting free miners, due their interests
just wish that some fair distribution can be done in better way then its today
i don't think NV will be competitive in mining world because their architecture are inclined toward floating point performance (for gaming or HPC scientific purpose), NV performance on integers always slower than AMD hardware architecture, despite CUDA and their great power efficiency so if you are NV owner, just go back to gaming or sell ur card for AMD one LOL you don`t know what you talk about, atm AMD is only better in ethereum because its dependent on memory latency and bandwith which both 1070 and RX 480 share same of 256bit width where GPU calculation matter NV is at least 10xx series are outperforming AMD, but when ppl only mine ethereum its their only bases for comparation for instance NV 1070 is faster with blake ago then RX480 and it used in a part of algo for zcash wtf dude, 1070 are not an equal match for RX480 its for RX490 compare with same price range, if you want to go with 1070 compare it with 2x RX480, you don't know what you talk about... i've been on gpu mining since bitcoin price was 1$, and i do openCL coding too, and never see any NV card that beat AMD on same price range, either because NV just slow, or their price is a shit. I am a miner, i don't care which one are superior in their performance, what i do care is Efficiency, Cost, and Profit so price matters |

claymore's disassembler scandal really hurt linux miners...
linux 40% slower than windows....

I previously posted that for modern AMD GPUs like Tonga and Polaris that have a 256-bit memory interface, the minimum core/clock ratio for eth mining is ~0.56. After digging through lots of GCN architecture documents for my analysis of ZEC mining, I have determined that the fundamental limit for fully utilizing the GDDR5 memory is 0.5. This means on a Rx 480 with memory clocked at 2Ghz, the core has to be at least 1Ghz in order to fully utilize the GDDR5 memory bandwidth. The reason is that the L2 cache can transfer at most 64 bytes per core clock. GDDR5 transfers 4 bits per clock cycle in a 2 cycle burst. The GDDR memory interface is 32-bits wide, so each chip xfers 32 bytes per 2 clocks. Tonga and Polaris use 8 GGDR5 chips for 8 x 32 = 256 bits on the external memory bus.
do you assume memory clock with stock timing, or tighter strap timing mod is not relevant to ratio ? My RX470-4G running at 1150MHz/1975Mhz and 1500Mhz strap memory timing, mining ZEC at 140 sol/s using claymore |

the issue has been resolved, claymore pulled the miners and is going to make his own code instead, he admitted he fucked up. and btw silent army miner is actually faster its just limited to linux users only atm. if windows users had access to it they would be useing it instead.
not really, silentarmy only reach about 44-45 sol/s on RX470-4G, while claymore can reach 46-47 sol/s so its small difference, but silentarmy will use 100% CPU on dual core athlon/phenom while claymore only 20% of the same cpu (with 5 to 6 gpus running ubuntu 16.04) |

why would anyone still mining scrypt based coin, even worst litecoin, it has feature of a stone compared to other altcoin

Yeah I LoL'ed at that explanation too. Not sure why lol.. If you have ever seen a capacitor on an older gen card break from lv or hv then you would know. Breaks right through the back of the pcb, burns completely through it, and shits electrical fire out of the back consistently. Does that make sense? Do you want that shit all over your motherboard, inside express slots? its 100% for this reason exactly LOL... to contain shit after explode.... there are 4 functions of backplate 1. marketing & branding just to make it look cool 2. heat dissipation because backplate are screwed to main heatsink or has thermal pad connected to back side of VRM 3. a. protection from ESD (when you touch it, pull and push it to mobo) b. protection from getting back side of PCB scratched by other objects (cables, connector, screw driver, etc...) c. protection from short circuit from back side of pcb to another object such as connector cables or another card when the card leaning to the side d. to make card more sturdy and harder to bend 4. balance the weight of the card, most GPU are two slot width, if card are connected into pcie slot without screwed into case bracket, the weight of heatsink will pull the card to one side and can potentially break or bend the pcb and its connector slot |

dev, you just request me to refund the payment ? its negative  |

I have noticed, that adding more GPUs to my rig, lowers the sols per GPU.
3 x 470s = 15 sols per instance.
5 x 470s = 13 sols per instance.
sometime I only got 7 per gpu/instance sometime it was 15 per gpu/instance and sometime 19 per/gpu/instance using 5x RX470-4G per rig |

is it the beehaviour / feature of coin that you can't get txid of ur sent coin (t address)?
because the pool does not display txid for payment, so we can't check against block explorer
i got 3 paid status, but only received 1, and nothing pending so far in poloniex
and no txid to check

Guys. How to change GPU fan speed in ubuntu 16.04 ? and frequencies and voltage?
new to linux? you can't .. try set them using sysFS at /sys/class/drm/card<x>/devices/... |

Am i the only person who didn't get anything for last hour?
i got payment after 10 hours in requested status... |

People are talking about getting 28 to 40 on rx480 but all I am getting with both this miner and nicehash's miner is 17-18 max. What am I doing wrong ?
just think yourself as lucky, there are still a lot of people haven't figured out how to mine with their gpus, and by current price its still worth it mining at these early days |

i can confirm that pool is paying..   |
