You can't tweak NVIDIA bioses just like you can with AMDs. I used "polaris bios editor" to perform these little mods myself. I'm in no way an expert but I'm quite happy with the results.
Is there a big difference in power usage between AMD cards and Nvidia? I've noticed a difference in my Nvidias from one manufacturer to another. I.e. my 1070s are MSI and my 1080s are EVGA. The 1080s are using 5 fewer watts (115 vs 120) for 14% more hashrate. This is actually a big deal for me, my power costs are Californicated. I have 2 ETH rigs, one with 6x1070s, one with 6xRx570s. All my 1070s are Nvidia branded FE and set to power target = 65% with NvidiaInspector. All hash at 32.5-33 Mh/s and consume 99-100 watts. My Rx570s are a mix of Asus and MSI cards, all are bios modded. The Asus cards consume 92-94 watts, MSI cards range from 95-105 watts and all 6 hash at 29.0 Mh/s. So for me Nvidia cards are more efficient hash/watt, but cost a lot more (now) than AMD cards. Nvidia cards are very easy to tune, AMD cards CAN be easy (find a good bios online and flash it) or a pain (roll your own bios mod and spend hours tweaking). For my ASUS cards, I found a great BIOS on Anorak, flashed it and I was off and running. My MSI cards didn't like any of the straps I tried, so spent a lot of time trying to find an optimal setting. Also have 3 of the exact same MSI cards with the exact same bios, same memory, etc, and they use 95w, 99w, 105w. |

Sorry something that escaped me. For the last step, you should actually replace import socket with import win_inet_pton in the tplink.py script I ended up needing to add import win_inet_pton , rather than replace import socket . I needed to import both. Thank you!!! I know it's been requested before, but adding Nicehash monitoring would be huge for me. Nicehash has been paying more for CryptonightV7 mining than straight XMR mining for a while now, so I keep mining there. Thanks again! |

Hi, if you cd to grm's folder and run the following command then what is the output? python ./external/tplink.py -t "192.168.5.80" -j '{"emeter":{"get_realtime":{}}}' Here it is (thank you!!!): C:\Users\bryan\Mining\monitoring\grm-2.3.d.6-windows-amd64\external>python ./tplink.py -t "192.168.5.80" -j '{"emeter":{"get_realtime":{}}}' Traceback (most recent call last): File "./tplink.py", line 57, in <module> args = parser.parse_args() File "C:\Program Files\Python27\lib\argparse.py", line 1701, in parse_args args, argv = self.parse_known_args(args, namespace) File "C:\Program Files\Python27\lib\argparse.py", line 1733, in parse_known_args namespace, args = self._parse_known_args(args, namespace) File "C:\Program Files\Python27\lib\argparse.py", line 1939, in _parse_known_args start_index = consume_optional(start_index) File "C:\Program Files\Python27\lib\argparse.py", line 1879, in consume_optional take_action(action, args, option_string) File "C:\Program Files\Python27\lib\argparse.py", line 1791, in take_action argument_values = self._get_values(action, argument_strings) File "C:\Program Files\Python27\lib\argparse.py", line 2231, in _get_values value = self._get_value(action, arg_string) File "C:\Program Files\Python27\lib\argparse.py", line 2260, in _get_value result = type_func(arg_string) File "./tplink.py", line 10, in validIP socket.inet_pton(socket.AF_INET, ip) AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'inet_pton' |

Hey, I just set this up over the weekend. Very cool software!! I'm having some trouble with getting the TP-Link info. I tried with 2.3.6d and 2.2.2 (installed Python 2.7.13 and set the PATH var), getting this in the log:
ERROR: 2018/06/11 11:33:48 tplink.go:139: Could not run tplink.py script. Failed with exit status 1
ERROR: 2018/06/11 11:33:48 tplink.go:28: TPlink script execution failed!
This is my rigList config for 1 of my TP-Link HS110 plugs:
"6xGTX1070,phoenixminer,label_nanopool,,http://192.168.5.8:3333,6,197,,tplink,192.168.5.80,850,70",
I don't know the cause of the exit is, or how to get more logging info. Any help would be appreciated!

It was short lived.
ETN profitability spiked for a few hours after the difficulty algo finally adjusted to the new lower hashrate post fork.
Now it's stabilised around the same level as most other CNv7 coins.
Yeah, my payout rate went way down last night around 5 pm, but has been going up again the last few hours. I would keep an eye on it today. Still more profitable than mining on nanopool at the moment, just not double  |

Mining with XMR-stak (compiled myself so the dev fee is 0).
Threadripper 1950x: 1490
Ryzen 1700: 600
Ryzen 2600: 590
6x RX570: 5400
Vega 56: 2000
Nicehash is paying out huge right now!
I have a 280x in my Mac Pro, but mining/tuning software is pretty limited on that platform, so it just sits idle.

For maximizing your profit, it's very important to tune the power consumption of your system. Run different tests with different overclocks/power settings, etc then calculate the profitability. A Kill-A-Watt or some other watt meter is 100% necessary to get accurate results.
With an i5, you can choose to mine XMR (only 3 threads for 6MB of L3 cache) with your CPU to get a little more money out of your system, otherwise you can try to undervolt, underclock, disable 2 of your CPU Cores, to reduce power consumption.

I have 2 6x GPU rigs mining ETH, one is 6x1070, the other is 6x570.
My 1070s mine @ 32-33Mh, 570s @ 29Mh (similar power consumption). Right now 1070s cost around $400, 570s are around $220-250, so the break even time for only ETH mining favors the Rx570s. Having said that, you should also factor the alternate coins a GPU can mine, for example 1070s mine ZEC pretty well, and 570s mine XMR very well.

Nvidia isn't even going to detail the specs of their next-gen GPUs until August. So assuming the launch is a few months later, I would guess it will be late 2018 before you can even find them in quantities. I would buy now, rather than wait. Having said that, its still hard to find a reasonably priced 1080ti right now.
You can pick up 1070TIs for under $500 pretty much anywhere now, a pretty solid all-around mining GPU for the price.

Got a couple Ryzen Rigs with open M.2 slots, both have 6x GPUs (all using risers). Will be curious to see how this performs.
Thank you!

You must have an affiliation with them because you keep shilling about this pool.
No affiliation- but I mine there. And I would like to see the total GH go up a bit more, so I pitch the site. And today the site paid out close to 200% of estimate. So I’m a believer sharing my experience. Do what you will with it Karl, just saying.... Yeah things have been going so well over ther, I switched my 6x1070 rig over to RVN. It has been rock solid mining ETH for months so it was hard decision to switch it up. The time to mine RVN is now IMHO. I will say, the performance of the 1070s is quite a bit lower than my 1070ti, which is going all beast mode right now. Hash rate is averaging 15+ per card since switching to this new pool URL. Was averaging 12-13 on the old URL, not sure I understand why that would be, but it’s been several days now. Even my little 1050 is averaging 4.5 on the new pool, was 2-3 on the old one. Might pick up another 1070ti or 2 since everyone has them in stock now. Anyone mining with 1080s? Was interested to compare hash rates with to 1070ti. |

Just played around with a Rx570 I have yet to install in my of my other rigs, found that for the current version of Avermore, intensity is now -X <some number, increments of 64>. I tried, 256, 380 and 448 on my Rx570 with stock bios, stock settings. Pretty good results with all of them. 448 seemed the best averaging just over 6Mh/s. |

Just curious, how are you getting updated info from them? Their communication seems kinda sparse, almost bailed on them yesterday after they switched pool stat sites and I didn’t get any payments for 24 hours... |

What?
My best 1070ti gets 440h/s on Equihash, while my best 1080ti gets 700h/s... both with the same overclock 75% power limit, +100/+150
1080ti is the best card all around, they are just too expensive right now. Wait a month and they will start showing up on the second hand market as people start preparing to buy the 1180.
I get 562 sol/s @ 143w on my 1070ti FE using EWBF. Settings in afterburner are: 80% power, +240 clock, +1000 memory (Samsung  ) |

Depending on your card JackIT has done the best work regarding settings, pools, and miners - his benchmarks 1080TI, pools, miners https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3385643.0;topicseenI've tested a number of set ups and miners on the 4 1070TI rigs and on one 1070 rig that i have. The most important thing is to pick the best miner - as of today, it's enemy 1.08, which can be as much as 20% over some of the earlier miners. Then tweaking the settings gets you 1-3% more at most. There are times it can do more, but with the changing algo, some times it's less. So for OCing a 1070Ti, there is some argument over whether OCing the core setting has any benefits. I found it did, but just a little ~<1%. Boosting the Mem setting seems to have benefits, but don't get too aggressive or the fluctuating algo can cause resets or crashes. And that will wipe out any gains you would have gotten from OCing. I find the 1070 need more power and less OC. And it seems to be true that increasing TDP has the most effect/increase regardless of the model of GPU. Bottom line - your TDP setting gets you the most return, but it runs your GPU hard. So it's a balancing act with your electric costs and how hard you want to drive your GPU. My settings - 1070TI, Enemy 1.08, TDP 75%, Core +200, Mem +300. 1070, Enemy 1.08, TDP varies by card (I have one mini which is a little bitch) 80-85%, +50,+190. Stable for days at a time. Thank you!! I basically copied your setup when I started mining yesterday. These 1070TIs work well for this, already have 48 RVNs from a little under 24 hours of mining on 1 card. |

I trying to figure out the best settings for mining with my nVidia cards.
Since X16r has several algo I am assuming that both core and memory OC is good, anyone know which is more predominant ?
thx
I started mining this morning with a single 1070ti, current settings are: Power: 80% (135w) Core: +150 Memory: +300 Averaging about 13 Mh/s over the past 5 hours with z-enemy. Obviously you will have to play around and find the right balance for yourself but most people are going with light overclocks at this point. |

Decided to try this out on 1 GTX 1070ti today. ETH-only mining with Claymore was giving me a consistent 34.2 Mh/s, Phoenix is reporting 34.6 Mh/s so I'm going to let it run for a day or 2 and compare shares, but this looks like a winner to me. Thank you!!

I recently did some tests with my single 1070ti as I was trying to make sure I making the most from it, here’s what I found (btw, mine has Samsung memory ): GTX 1070 Ti Settings: Claymore: 55% power, -100 clock, +1000 memory = 34.2 Mh/s, 98w Fan: 60%, Temp = 62 C XMR-stak: 70% power, +200 clock, +1000 memory = 788 h/s, 92w Fan: 65%, Temp = 49 C EWBF: 80% power, +240 clock, +1000 memory = 560 sol/s, 143w Fan: 85%, Temp = 58 C So for me ETH mining was the most efficient power wise, but I only mine ETH (no dual mining). Are you really making that much more with dual mining? I have always found it to be not worth the trouble when you consider the additional power needed, and the fees involved. |

I don’t think you will see much difference in power consumption. Both CPUs have speed step technology, and the same voltage range. Personally, my first rig used an E3200, and it was cripplingly slow for normal tasks, even with an SSD. Think you would be better off using the E8400 and trying to undervolt it.

Well, every card is a bit different. I have 6x GTX 1070 Founder Editions in my rig, all of them with Micron memory. 4 run great with these settings:
Power: 65%
Temp: 65 C
Core: -100
Memory: + 920
#5 requires Power = 67% to get the same hash rate as the others.
The last one has the same settings as above, but is only stable with a +720 memory overclock. If I go higher, it will eventually error out.
Just make sure you take advantage of Claymore's reboot feature when your rig has a GPU error, that way you don't have to worry about babysitting it. This is the #1 reason I use Claymore instead of cheaper options.
