Mining using GTX 1070

[CryptoSquad]

i have only 2 1070's right now, overclocked i get about 31-32mh/s for eth each. As of the moment I prefer to watch what to mine, mine that sell it for BTC then buy whatever I want...

for example, eth estimated profit for me is around $2.83 at the moment per day, the top mining coin is around $4.40. Mine the most profitable you can sell it for eth anyways. Just make sure you keep up to date as the most profitabes fluctuate a lot. I think there is a mining pool that auto sells to btc?

What are your overclock settings set to and how stable is mining?

I would not fool with windows. Use nvOC.

 I've never used nvOC, but that's because I had an already-working setup I could clone before I heard of it.
 It's a Ubuntu-based LINUX distribution, so it should have standard (VERY GOOD) LINUX reliability once you get it configured and working.

By the end of this week, I will have 4 new ASUS ROG Strix GeForce GTX 1070. I will try nvOC to see how it works.

I'm new to all this, so go easy with me. I searched a little bit and ended up making the decision of mining using 6 GPUs (Nvidia GTX 1070). The electricity cost in my country is like 0.05$/kw (If not lower) and planning to go with Ethereum.

1. Should I switch to another crypto currency?
2. What should I understand before starting to mine
3. I'm going to follow this . How bad/good are the instructions and information's there?
4. Solo or pools mining?
5. How much hash power I'm going to generate? 180 Mh/s?
6. Is this accurate?

1) Probably. ETH has almost NEVER been the best option for a 1070 over the last month and change.
3) Don't skimp on the power supply, a 1000 is marginal AT BEST for 6 of those 1070 models (I have a few of those specific cards, good cards but their TDP is 180 watts).
    I'd STRONGLY recommend going to AT LEAST a Seasonic X-1250 or EVGA G2 1300 and even THOSE are going to limit how hard you can push the GPUs.
    You might want to STRONGLY consider going to a 2 power supply option.
4) Unless you mine something with a VERY small total network hashrate, go pool for reliable income.
5) On ETH with those cards, probably around 180-185 IF you have enough power to feed them.
    If you have to turn them down far enough to SURVIVE on a 1000, more like 160.
6) all calculators are snapshots of CURRENT conditions, I prefer whattomine because they'll look at the "last 24 hour average" which is a lot more accurate than a one-shot snapshot.
     Keep in mind though that conditions CHANGE, so even an ACCURATE estimate will be off tomorrow as price changes, difficulty changes, etc.


 You do have a low electric rate, which should help your long-term profitability a LOT.

I have 12 1070 cards (two 6 card systems) running 100% stable with a 100 watt power limit on each card and am getting 183 MH/sec per six on ETH and 2500 Sol/sec on ZEC.

I agree a good power supply is a must particularly get one platinum rated so it is more efficient but I think most people with 1070's have them set at 110 watts or less which with 6 cards is only 660 watts plus whatever the rest of the system takes. I use Corsair 1200 watt power supplies and no issues.

From my testing upping the power over 100 watts gives very little gain in hash rate. I certainly wouldn't want to go from 100 watts to 180 to gain 2 MH/sec.

I agree with that. I run the cards when they are most efficient and last long.
