The OhGodACompany team have announced that they may start working on a (devfee) hashrate fix for Vega cards. Will we finally hit the theoretical limit of 70+ MHs on Ethereum?  Lmao wut? Complete bullshit. Even if it was true you would still make more money on CN-7, CN-LiteV1 and CN-Heavy over Ethash. 70Mh/s barely makes it somewhat an option. Nope, you'd make more with Etash in that case. Probably not, because everybody (well not exactly but it's for rough explanation) will have the same raise and then at the end you won't be doing 60% more reward as expected. |

Mega Like for this topic!
However, im concerned about efficiency per Watt, try with 65% ~ 80%PL
Why is that important? As long as it's profitable, I mine at 100 pl because otherwise I don't earn as much as I could. Why leave capacity unused, even if it is somewhat less profitable above 80 pl... Some people like to factor in cost in electricity. But if that coin goes from $0.05 to $10, that cost savings actually hurts you. I'm with you on running it at most optimal point of hash rate instead of hash per kwh. But for each there own, so I ain't bashing opinions on savings. Well, a lot of home miner are limited global power wise more than investment wise, so it can make sense to have best efficiency per card. |

Where are you mining guys currently ?
Which pool/algo or which coin ?
I'm on blazepool with nemosminer on current. Not very good results
1,5 week ago I switched to zergpool to focus Verge. Greats results first 24hours, after that it dropped badly
So I switched to x16r on zergpool, average results...
X17 halved. that's why it's so low now. |

Thinking of shutting down thread. Gpu mining is in sad shape.
Thoughts everyone?
Looks like Metroid called it.
Maybe a part 8 for general discussions ... Although GPU mining is indeed a sad case with little future upsides... the GPU farms are still profitable with CN7/Monero (AMD), ZEN/ZEC (NVIDIA)... while they still last. The Plan B for NVIDIAs will be Neoscrypt. No further investments on GPUs for now, and yes - we have made decision to invest more ASICs, Avalons 841s and L3+s mainly due to lower price today. As long as we still have access to cheap power -- for every satoshis we can accumulate today with GPU or non-GPU miners, coupled with bullish outlook to BTC price - we can still see the pot of gold at then end of the rainbow. yeah keep it going. if gpu mining is truly hitting the skids, we need a place to discuss ways to prolong the life of what we have, or where to go next (fpga? asic?). 1 rig with 2x470, 460, 1070, 1070ti, 2x1080ti here. never gonna sell em, worse comes to worse some friends get free gpu upgrades and i use the 1080tis for gaming (currently have a 390 for that). Hi there, I think another reason GPU mining is low this days is because we didn't have a new powerfull GPU out for a long time (a part from vegas, that said, but even if they are my best workers right now, I don't love them, too noisy even in my barn). What I would like to know besides what the SIA chap said, is how ASICs will handle new algoryths like X16r&X16s. And I hope we will see new anti-ASICS improvements soon. |

I was doing 845h/s on my R9 290. BUT, that was at 1100/1500. And with wolfminer, with bad configuration. From what i have done, it seems like the card is heavily core-bottlenecked. Modifying the memory straps yielded 0 performance increase. Overclocking the core brought about 100h/s from stock. This was also pre-blockchain drivers. I would suppose it can do 1kh/ and a tad more.
With recent drivers my 290x fall down to 820 H/S on CN vs 920 with the old drivers( although I do not longer mine with it, it was just a ponctual experiment). |

Could be a good mining rig, Sad the PSU is so weak. I stick with the t5500 |

sgminer-x17 is a very old version of sgminer and seems to be broken, it does'nt find a share. Using the kernel with gatelessgate I get some sheres but 75% rejected.

Bleh... ETN down 35% today, along with my holdings and my mining estimates. Oh well, switching the RX 570 and Vega rigs to XMR on Nanopool now. It's pretty profitable as well. Not sure what I should do with last week's ETN mining proceeds... Take the hit now and exchange to BTC or wait for them to recover? Hmmm... Choices, choices...  -50% now. I wonder what caused this sudden drop? could'nt find anything |

Another deal I caught... my 3x VEGA-64 system is drawing more than I'd like even on the 850-watt supplies. Wanting to keep the load ~85% or less so I bought one 1200-watt supply... killer deal $191.99 for Rosewill Quark 1200! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VS8728G/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1So... in the future I will only buy VEGA-56 as power draw is ~50 watts less each for about the same Cryptonight performance. Those will run on my 850-watt supplies. From what I've heard a properly tuned Vega should draw ~ 150W on cryptonight. Don't have any Vega's myself though, but don't have any reasons to doubt the people I've heard it from. 3 of those shouldn't draw much more than 500W. The VEGA-56 will do with ~150 watt -- the VEGA-64 takes ~50 watts more (booooooo)... sadly I haven't been able to buy any VEGA-56 cards: http://www.gandalph3000.com/cast_xmr/howto-mine-monero-rx-vega/I also use my CPU at full tilt on Cryptonight... which puts me right at ~850-900 or so watts on the total system (GPUs + CPU + System in General) to max them out -- I am going for the ~2kh figure so ~250 per card. To get vega 64 down to 160W, you need to use softpowertables see the link http://www.overclock.net/t/1633446/preliminary-view-of-amd-vega-bios/250#post_26297003 then you can tune core and memory voltage. I found easyest way was to flash my vega 56 to 64 to have only one kind of cards to manage. I then modify Soft powerplay in the registry for each of them. |

I have currently four cards running less than 700W whole rig with a eVGA G2 1000W PSU |

Hi there,
is anyone here running 4 vegas on a dell T5500. I wouls like to be sure it works somehow.
On mine It runs fine with three, but fourth card gives me nightmares. Artifacts and crash on miner start ( it's not a card in particular, I switched them). Even if fourth card is plugged but not in the mining config, it crashes.
I thought about crossfire&ULPS disabling, but It didn't help. Changing miner soft does not change anything either.
Any ideas?
Is there physical space inside that box for all those cards, or you use risers? risers of course. And I found a strange workarround to make all cards mine, although the fourth card mines only at 1600 vs 1900+ for the other three. |

I am using SGMiner to mine ETN (and others cryptonight's coins), this is the fastest, low energy and stable miner than others. And the best part is its really free.  still getting best hashrate with claymore 10.2.. even with xmr-strak... i own some rx470 and 570 4 and 8 gb..can u share youur sgminer/xmr-strak config file? On the picture you can see his rawIntensity => rI:896 threads should be 2 and Worksize 8, I guess. |

And best thing of the Cryptonight algorithm is it will save you energy money in the long run. I don't know how it behave in RX Vegas cards but in RX 4xx/5xx series the consumption is 30-35 watt less than mining Ethereum and about 55 watt less than mining Zcash. With 1850 h/s is as having 3x RX 480 cards. Fantastic performance.
Decent rx 480/580 cards usually hash @ 770-820 H/s, so Vegas are more like 2.3x times faster. Only 1.5x times faster in Dagger. And Vegas are also very noisy (except the water cooled ones), gotta keep the fan spinning really fast to cool that hbm module. It's a one trick pony at this point, but it does that one trick (cryptonight) well. Hi, my RX 480/580 with samsung memory do >900 H/s with good memory timings (look for "performance timings"). Even with hynix memory you can do around 900. |

Just out of curiosity, (doing a little research and planning, couldn't find a thread on the subject), anyone here have any crypto rigs mining inside a "hydroponics" grow tent?
I've got a couple dozen Vega 56s and I am wondering what is the maximum operating temperature for the Vegas. I already plan on moving about 720 CFM of air to the outside.
you need to keep memory temp as low as possible. In my experience under 65°C, otherwise clock goes down. So usually I try to keep core under 50°C to have mem arround 65°C. |

Hello,
I was trying to mine some cryponight on my 1080ti with ccminer but when I launch it it immedatly closes..do I have to enter a -l config ? I also d/l and installed cuda 9 to see if that helped but no dice.
Ya i got issues also trying to use ccminer 2.2.1 on cryptonight with a 1080 ti, says "memory allocation error' and shuts down. Any idea what I need to do? could be to much mem overclock. |

Good I was sleeping when the supposedly real mining started :-D
At least nicehash profit is higher on equihash.

@jstefanop in my mail from bitshopper was mentioned "will be compatible with latest bfgminer release" latest bfgminer source i could find is this: https://github.com/luke-jr/bfgminer with latest commit on 28 May 2016. will this version work or are updates around i didnt seen yet? would like to prepare my rpi now so i can plug in and start on arrival Greetings - Astrali Ther's a good chance it will be there: https://github.com/jstefanop/bfgminer |

In a friend's appartement that I use when I work, I have 3 vega's running and I cannot stand the noise in the room he lent me. I exiled them to the kitchen (we do not cook in that kitchen). A vega is louder thant the MSI 290x I have. |

What are generally good settings for equishash on a 1080 ti for equishash? like Zcash,Zen,komodo etc.
My scenario. I pay .15 cent in summer and .22 cents in winter. So power efficiency would be nice but I'm also looking for good balance with max profit potential. Looking to sell these coins 1-2 years from now
For my evga 1080 ti sc blacks I use these settings
-65 TDP,
+125 core clock,
+ 300 memory,
Getting 630-650 hash rates
and getting 60 degree temps. It's been very stable, I have not had the time to dial it in
I think i might be leaving some room on the table, What dialed in settings would you suggest I use for my scenario?
That's pretty good. I have excel charted for every 5% increment in TDP. At 80% TDP FE 1080Tis do 680-690 sols/s. 15% increase in power, but only 5% increase in hash rate. Right now it's not really worth pushing your cards due to high electricity cost, who knows when BTG comes out it might be worth. I have best results with -250 memory not + ( 72 TDP,130 core clock) => 700 h/s with aorus, 685 with windforce |
