RTX 2070 hashrate too low

[Steelk]

Hi everyone I'm new in the forum and I hope this is the right place for my help request.
I have a Gainward RTX 2070 and I'm wondering why my hash rate is only 9MH/s when mining ETH. I use NBMiner with Daggerhashimoto algorithm.
If I don't do any OC, my GPU mines with core clock of only 300MHz causing a very low hashrate. During this process memory clock stays @7000MHz as it should be.
In order to get a decent hashrate I'm forced to do some OC with MSI Afterburner. I don't touch neither core clock or memory clock, I just raise power limit to 114% (max possible) and then GPU starts to mine quite properly. Core clock stays between 1300-1400MHz and hashrate reaches of 38MH/s.
I'm pretty sure that if I was able to raise power limit beyond 114%, I could also get higher core clock and higher hashrate. Something like my GPU is thirsty for power.
My concern is more about power consumption rather than temperature. In fact with 114% power limit GPU needs 200W (and that's a lot!), while temperature stays safely under 45°C with 60% fan speed.
It is as if something is nerfing my GPU only when mining, because during stress test with FurMark everything goes fine according to values declared by manufacturer: core clock 1620MHZ, memory clock 7000MHz and 170W power consumption.
Thanks in advance to anyone who's willing to help me find a solution! 38MH/s is fine for me but I would like my GPU to need much less power.

Here there are some more details about my system:
- OS: Windows 10
- CPU: Intel Celeron G3930 with 16GB ram
- HDD: Corsair 256GB SSD
- PSU: Corsair Ax1200i
- MoBo: Biostar TB250-BTC-PRO
- GPU_1: RTX 2070 (described in the topic - 38MH/s @200W)
- GPU_2: GTX 1080 ti (42MH/s @170W with P0 state and ETHlargementPill both enabled)

RTX2700? Never heard of that card before, I only know RTX2070 and this card can do 36-42mh when mining ETH with the power draw of 123watts, power limit should be at 60%, you have to touch the core clock and memory, follow my lead using msi afterburner

Power limit 60%
Core clock  -502
Memory clock +750

Yes reduce the core clock to -502, this card works best this way and draw less power too

[batsonxl]

Yes try -500 core clock but some rtx 2000 series can work opposite so if -502 doesnt work try increase to 1100 and see power changes.

[Steelk]

Thanks both Gorosden and batsonxl for replying!
Yes of course it's not RTX 2700, but RTX 2070. My mistake, sorry.

I tried your settings:

> core clock: -502, memory clock: +750, power limit: 60%
> system crashed (I think because memory clock was too high)

> core clock: -502, memory clock: +0, power limit: 100%
> nothing significant happens: core clock stuck @300MHz, memory clock @7000MHz and hashrate @9MH/s

> core clock: +1100, memory clock: +0, power limit: 100%
> same as before: core clock stuck @300MHz, memory clock @7000MHz and hashrate @9MH/s

In order to get core clock working properly I'm forced to set power limit over 100%

Search for different driver and try different miners as well 1st try 2070 alone find best settings then add 1080ti. 38-40mhs looks achievable with 130-140watts on 2070.

[Bravehash]

If you are using a RTX2070 with hynix memory then it's better to go down to -502 for better performance and low power consumption but going over 100% power draw? No I'm just hearing this for the first time, OP are you sure you are using the latest msi afterburner for this? Do me a favour, download GPU-Z on your PC and look for the type of memory for gpu has, might be Samsung or micron? Check and reply

Power limit-  Minimum (71)
Core +50
Memory +650
40-41MH

Electricity consumption from the wall 870 watts, Power supply Silver 80+ (5x2070)
I read on the forums about the problems of these video cards, the solution to the problems was in the BIOS firmware.
With a phoenix miner, these video cards work great, I have not tried other options.

Every test has been made only with RTX 2070. GTX 1080 ti was always disabled or removed from PC.
At the moment driver version is 461.92. I also removed it with DDU and tried an older one (446.14), but nothing changes.
I also tried other miners but everything's the same.

use @FP91G settings looks good. ask him which driver is he using.

GPU-Z says that it's Samsung memory.
I'm pretty sure my Afterburner (4.6.3) is the latest, since I've downloaded it from MSI website something like 1 week ago.

I'm starting to think it's something in the BIOS, too.
Is it safe using phoenix miner? I've nothing against it, but I read that NiceHash cancelled from their list for safety reasons.
As @batsonxl asked, what's your driver version?
Thanks everyone for your help!

I've never got phoenix miner to work, not even once, after configuration I always get error, it might be too complicated for newbies unless you drop your config.txt file, I'm also looking for one too, NBminer just seem simplest to me, can you pls share the settings you use in phoenix miner?

I dont recommend nicecrap they are not reliable and why pay 2-3% fees for sh*t service. It takes 2min configure phoenix miner or any other miner just read 1st page and always download miner from developer. Nicecrap wanted to destroy phoenixminer but luckily phoenix is smart to respond them strong punch.

Phoenix miner is not available in Nicehash software anymore, even before that it stop working with AMD cards but only recognize NVIDIA graphics cards, you can use phoenix miner as third-party miner software whiteout going through Nicehash
