For reference - my GTX 950s are legitimate 10-11 MH miners per card, NOT overclocking them (just letting them boost themselves).
i'm curious at the consumption of your 950? just to have a clear look at the scaling about nvidia right now 120w for 20MH with a 970 is possible, your is doing 10-11, at what wattage? 2 in one system by themselves. 84W on the one running the desktop, 78W on the other one, per nvidia-smi - I do remember seeing a little variation, couple watts or so each way. Looks like the 970 is more efficient. Third one is in a system with my pair of 960s, but I don't have individual measurements on those as it's a Win7 box. The really SAD part is that the 960s are only good for about 11MH - they don't scale vs the 950 at ALL, lot more cores and they clock 2-3 percent highr and RUN cooler, but dang they should be a lot faster hashing. I also have a 750ti running in a low-profile system now, it's pulling 18 watts for 3.5ish MH (bounces between 3.1 and 3.6 but mostly 3.6) - now THAT is efficient, but the $/hash is pretty sad.

Fellow miners, get your thens and thans in order and help other forum readers understand what you are writing. Remember the grammar basics: B larger THAN A (comparator operator). If something THEN ....

Like, 3 R9 390s for the price of one of those...
Nah, R9 390 for me then
So buy 3 R9 390 new from Amazon Mine 1-1.5 month and when R9 490 will be released sell 390s on ebay

Do not buy the 1080. It is useless for mining the Ethereum. Buy the 390, it is the best for the time being.

1080 seems to be vary scarce right now - give it a couple weeks to a month, supplies should get more available and price come down to less than list.
And yeah, it's NOT a good choice for Ethereum even at list, even with the energy efficiency it should have - apparently the drivers for it are a long way from compute optimised, so it's a very low hashrate miner.
I'm STILL waiting on someone to post Folding PPD on them though.....

I m very happy about my ASUS R9 280 x ( 4X ) , old generation, but still solid ! And Asus have 3 years warrantly, so i never have any problems with us... some fans bug, but asus changes my problems so fast. Sapphire is good too, and i hate gigabyte

Can you share your daily earnings With your 4 gpu..

Can you share your daily earnings With your 4 gpu.. 4x 380x is about 80 MH/s, so it will earn about 0.8 Eth per day. But be careful, the difficulty is rising fast.

Figured I'd jump on the ETH bandwagon with my own mining experiment.
Trying to decide which PSU to use, I have EVGA 1300 or XFX 850 available and will be powering 3 Sappire Toxic R9 280X 3G D5 plus mobo ssd. will the 850 be enough?

I'm seeing about 20 MH/s out of each of my 3x R9 280x, split between 2 different rigs at this point. Gigabyte 3GB Windforce units, 1100/1500 and running pretty cool at those settings despite the somewhat hot weather we've had this week (as opposed to my Sapphire R9 290s that are thermal limit throttling some despite the massive airflow in their cases). I do wish the R9 2xx cards would pay attention when I set their clocks to UNDERclock with ATICONFIG. 8-(

mining is becoming too competitive. over 1 TH/s added in the last month.
It now takes me 2-5 days to find a block with 350 mh/s solo mining.
It seems i'm forced to goto a pool now :/

I never bothered trying to solo Ethereum - though I'm up to around 230ish MH now.
I DID play around with the new Antpool for Ethereum - and dropped it after about 2 hours and ZERO reported hashrate even though my MINER reported a couple shares found in that timeframe. I'm just glad I decided to use one of the Ti750 rigs for that experiment, small loss....
Mining has ALWAYS been competative - folks shifting to the "new hot coin" is VERY OLD news, and that's not factoring multi-coin pools or even multi-ALGORYTHM pools/miners like NiceHash....

230 MH/s is not enough for solo mine. For solo mining, you also need a very good network connection.

I do not solo mine. My network connection is not good enough enough. It will disconnect some times. The geth will not recover connection.

The 380X seems to be the best middle ground for space + buy in cost + ROI. What motherboard would be best for doing a 4x380X setup? Or do you recommend using something like pci risers to keep them out of the case and put them in milk crates like old times?

The best motherboard for mining is the ASrock H81 pro btc. It is very solid and price is not high either.

Since it only has one x16 slot, I assume it was designed to have the cards outside the case for the rest of them. Which Risers did you use?

Thanks for all the great info in this post. so Im go with 4 380x cards and a H81 pro btc mobo per rig. Now Im using miningrigrentals to rent hashing power and I feel I'm just making money for them. so Im invest in my own rig. Thanks again.
