GPU mining is all good.  Even if diff of the coin goes up 2x, and btc price goes down 2x, you are still making profit.  (considering a good electricity rate).  Plus you have the used value of the hardware.  Calculate 3-4 months, maybe up to 6 if you are really unlucky and the rigs are paid off. 

MSI Armor rx470 4g with timings 1500strap copied to above (hynix), 1250 core 1750 mem, 0.95v
gives you 92w and 152sol/s
0.61 w/s

I'd say thats not bad at all considering the purchase price  I made a detailed review on it.  I wish I had nanos, but this is the next best thing.
edit: fans run 45-50%

I vote for ludicrous speed

yup.  no idea why though.

Shameless plug here, but I just got my MSI Armor 470 4g and I put it to work.  Lets just say its pretty awesome for the price.  I put the review up at www.cryptominingtalk.com (there are no ads or monetization on the site).  Posting this cause some peeps were interested in it.  Its a good buy.

well this increase is 20-25%, depending on the card.  My 470/480 have gone from 125/135 to 145-155...so yeah its normal.  my 390s are up 25% though. 

And Claymore I am very impressed by your work here.  CPU usage way down.  Hashrate for me up 60%.  6 0.  %.
6              0                %

thats normal, its because the pool has vardiff, so the pool difficulty adjusts to your hashrate. 

thanks toptek, for the hardware section i'll do a review of the new MSI armor 4g once I receive it.  appreciate the vote.

got some spare change, I need winter tires

yeah there is a forum section, but the main site is just a resource center where can learn about stuff.  there is no registration required really.  The forum part is basically is people want to ask question or post their hashrate, etc.  I suppose the main thing is that all the info is there in one place.  thanks for the comment though

Sup people.  Everytime I browse claymore's thread, or mrb's thread for the ZEC miners (hell even for ETH) its always the same.  New people asking the same ol questions.  So I made this website with pretty much everything you need to know about mining.  I know this looks like shameless promotion (it is) but if some of you could check it out and give me some constructive criticism, that would be appreciated.  Like what you want to see, what you don't understand, what's not well enough explained, stuff like that.  It would be appreciated.  There aren't ads or anything on it yet (if you see ads tell me, I put 2 but they arent active yet).

Thanks.  Its www.cryptominingtalk.com

It only talks about mining pretty much, which is why I put this thread in this section.

dude.  this analysis is spot on.  spot.  on.

I installed everything it recommended after selecting the 6mb python package, it works fine.

yeah agreed, but its significantly cheaper, 3 year warranty.  dont know what kind of mem is inside though, gonna be a surprise.  cheaper version of the gaming X but for me its about 20% less expensive..

Don't know, mem clock is a bit slow.  I've actually ordered just one to check it out.  Should get it next week

Yeah I can only run 1 instance (win), 2 slows hashrate down a lot.  just testing one card, cpu is a 4.5ghs i7-2700k.  480 4g nitro. 

well run two instances of the miner, with different workers.  specify what gpu's are active in each .bat file.

yeah second that.  use 4.0 with -i 0

at the start of your .bat file.  but they may not be necessary depending on your hardware

I'm going to have to make a website with all the basic info for n00bs (no offense sir we all have to start somewhere), bat files, bios flashing and all the other stuff
