Ethereum mining still profitable?

[alienesb]

Nano is more power efficient than the R9 390. But its ROI dates are much longer than the 390. So it depends on your power price.

Yeah but if you're also a gamer running two water cooled nanos is awesome!

For the Etherem mining, the R9 390 is the same speed as the 390x. Is the R9 Fury the same speed as the Fury XT?

Surprisingly warm weekend here so did some power saving tests with my 5xGPU rigs AMD against Nvidia.

AMD 295x2 x2 plus 290 (=4x290x + 290) undervolted -100mV does 140MH (Claymore), 1120W from the wall. No bios mods.

Nvidia 4x970 + 980 TDP limit at 61% 90MH (Genoil 1.0.7), 680W from the wall.

W/MH:

AMD 8.00
Nvidia 7.55

Gonna be interesting to see how well the GTX 1070 and 1080 mine Ethereum.

 I just wish they were releasing them at the same time - the extra 2 week or so wait for the 1070 is gonna su..... er, be irritating.



 Also going to be interesting how soon and how far pricing on the higher end GTX 9xx series tanks, especially the 970/980/980ti and the Titan....

I have 5X390, I use -200 mV and 950/1000 MHz. It does 137 MH/s. The power consumption is 910W. No bios mods.

Does you 290x hash the same speed as 290?

Mining with single 7950 @ stock clock and getting 15-16 mhashes, is it ok ? What should I do to make it more profitable ?

That is quite slow. It should be around 17-18 MH/s. You might have a slow video memory. You need to use Stilt memory mod.

tell me how do I do that ?? Stilt memory , never heard of it

Stilt modified the GPU memory timing, it is faster than the stock setting.

try to runt hem in p0 state, and overclock the core a bit, the mem isn't needed for etheruem

I think there is no P0 state in the AMD cards. I might be wrong. Where do you change the P0 state parameter?

Ethereum mining is still profitable for most of us. It seems there is a pause of the difficulty rise at the moment.

[RastoMan]

The difficulty has resumed its upward trend. It is a new all time high of 34.9T. When the new efficient GPU cards come out, it will be even higher.

If the difficulty doubles again from here, most people in Europe and California will not be profitable in mining.

[virasog]

I just watch the Youtube video of Genesis Mining farm.They added a lot of GPU in the past. That could be the reason of the big rise.

...and then the difficulty drops hurray!

[Tmdz]

A hot summer could possibly provide some salvation if those farms have to throttle down on their mining activities, I think some of the numbers could be some variance in the hash rate.  I would be happy if we could chill at the current numbers for a bit, the increase has been slowing down a lot.  Eventually the farms have to stop growing and wait to catch up on ROI, hopefully we are in that phase now or wont see crazy increases like the past 2 months.

[Xianantung]

If those farms are based in the remote China like the bitcoin farms, then the heating is not a  big problem.

the average diff is higher than before, now 2.5 against 2 in the past, but there is still enough profit, if you have cheap electricity i keep mining this until it dry off

The problem is that for most people in Europe, the electricity price is too high. If the difficulty double, no profit.
