So I started mining a few days ago, using Nicehash running on my desktop (FX8350 and a GTX780, both overclocked). I'm very well aware this is n't the best setup, in fact for mining it's terrible but it's just a proof of concept for myself. Also I don't pay for electricity as it's included in my rent, so I don't have to worry about that.
Anyway, I'm noticing that my CPU is generating 0.126mBTC a day (about 300-330H/s) and my GPU is generating 0.167mBTC a day (8-19MH/s). Now I don't have a frame of reference, I understand I'm lucky to get 19MH/s out of a GTX780, but I don't know why the fluctuation is so huge, it spend 90% of it's time at 8MH/s. Why is this?
