Hello everybody,
I'm a fellow bitcoin user, and have been out of GPU mining for almost 1-2 years.
I have the posibility of free power, and can get some cheaps GPU, already ordered 6 x Asus GTX 960 and a EVGA P2 1200w to make a mining rig.
I know there so much debate about the Nvidia kernels and their performance, so really confused on what and how to mine propertly.
Winter is coming here, so I plan to do some light overclock.
Will VA Nicehash be the best option? I know this is the secret of a succesful minin operation but any help would be appreciated.
Thanks you very much,
Sincerely
Bruno

Because where I live is a lot easier to resell Nvidia cards than AMD ones. And are more energy efficient I can stack more vga's with less power supplies.
I paid 150 each new ones, any clue on what to mine?

use latest sp_'s ccminer, check in corresponding thread. 960's are good in quark mining, especially with light overclock. nicehash is the best option to sell quark power now, use yaamp as backup pool. For lyra mining (also on top nowadays) 960 with only 128bit membus will be seriously memory performance constrained with current lyra2re ccminer implementation. Also check neoscrypt algo ...

Mine quark algorithm in the nicehash.

No clue why you bought Nvidia gpu's and why not cheap used AMD cards that will work with every algorithm a lot easier and usually better. Hopefully you didn't order those cards new.
nice quote from 3 years ago... time for you to find a new one though... nvidia work also with every algo (and probably with more algo... and is lot easier to use than sgminer...) In many case it is faster than amd and as a lower power consumption

I don't have a precise link, however if you browse through ccminer thread, you will probably find these info.

kingcolex, you are way out-of-touch.
nividia kills it on quark algo.

eh I don't mine quark, not even sure which coin usually uses it. I mine neoscrypt personally and my amd cards do very well. Yeah? Max 240 Watts consumption for ~0.010 BTC per day (recent payrates) mining quark on WestHash using one GTX 750Ti and one GTX 970. You?

I only fire up my rigs now a days to solo mine a new coin if I catch it at the very beginning of its launch. Usually get a few good blocks before the mad hash power of rented rigs pours in.

Good for you, I currently am running around 1.4mh/s on neoscrypt and it is pretty steady on price on reliable payouts, calculators are definitely wrong as I will get around 600 coins a day so about .03 btc a day, but congrats on your .01 for only two cards, it is very impressive. Thx. What cards and how many of them to get that hashrate? You are getting 3x what I am, so I am also impressed. I have tried neoscrypt, as the ~7.7 BTC/GH/day payrate seems nice, but the much lower hashrate compared to quark makes it less profitable. (for me) Seems you mine the coin(s) directly, not via a multipool/rig rental site. What coin(s)? Thanks in advance for the info.

OK, thx for sharing your mining and rig info.
Quark, using ccminer-SP_mod, both cards moderately overclocked:
750Ti: 6.5 Mhash/sec 970: 16.0 Mhash/sec

I estimate it:
~60W 750Ti ~180W 970
