How will this change the world of mining?? GTX 1080 / 1070

[reb0rn21]

Damn MSI...  out of 5 MSi 1070 Gaming, only 3 left working ok so far 

One worked fine for 2 weeks, but now it can only mine DCR, it fails at other algos (memory errors)

Now another problem. One caught fire yesterday night.. no OC, no overheat.. rig went down overnight, and in the morning one card has that smell..

Damn MSi and its sucky 1070

When did you buy them, are they with samsung memory?

Mine blow itself up also, was bought some 45 days ago and was with Samsung memory, I ask because i would like to know if MSI fixed desgn/quality problem for it

Those were bought 60 days ago at Newegg. Micron memory.
Plain LBRY mining with no OC, TDP 70%, and weather is still cold here, so no overheat or abnormal use.

The first one died with 4 days of use. It wasnt DOA... it worked fine for some days.
This one was blown yesterday. The smell comes from the VRM area. No visual marks. And i dont plan to open it.

850 watt psu isn't enough for 3 1070. I use evga 700b bronze and 750gq gold for 5 1070. I never live any hardware issue and also I must say that room tempreture is really terrible due to summer.

yes, it is enough. The rig was eating 600w from the wall.

[nevermind41]

It is enough just theoretical. Psu quality ( its efficiency, performance in load, performance when the psu temperature goes upper) and also If you use it in mining you mustn't use ordinary psu. Because these components aren't industrial. They work 7/24. Because of this there is only way to buy a quality one over critical limit of system consumption. I hope you understand what I mean.

what is better to buy - 3x gtx1060 or 2x gtx1070?interested in the price/power consumption on any algos.

can't find reliable data on power consumption for gtx1060, if the owners will share data it will be wonderful.

thx.

i'm running six 1070 with a 1000w, so 850 is overkill for 3

lol at Amph !! great!! and i thought i was crazy making a 5x evga 1070 on a 1000w evga g2 psu.

100% agree with you
I have rigs with 4x1070 Gigabyte G1 on 850w PSU (superflower good old one). But they are ok with their 6 pin conectors.

But the MSi 1070 has 8+6 pin, so i left the rig with 3 cards... (the psu is an overkill in power, but ran out of connectors).

btw, i feel nvidia miners lost its momentum... LBC is not what it used to be.. other algos are not optimized for pascal yet... my roi went from 7 months to more than a year...

I have 4 gtx 1070 gigabyte windforce 2x for 450 watt in lbry excluding the system .

Use Cooler Master GX 750w .

Whats your secret? clocks, voltage, miner version? My rig with 3 gigabyte g1s and one MSI is almost 800w

I have PL at 70% , +150mhz core , with free miner , 245 mhs for board .

Hey. Its been long time since i have actually mined bitcoins with my own hardware. It just became not profitable.
So i wanted to ask u guys, when i was comparing the hash power for price of the cards back then.. AMD cards always showed real nice results as compared to nVidia ones. Is it the same now or then have new processors which put nVidia card better at mining?

please shed some light on this

HELLO guys.. can anyone tell me something about it. ? or just link me to the information.

actually my whole system including the six gpu is consuming only 850-870w, plus 80w of inefficiency of the psu which is at 91%

this is 130-135w per gpu basically

Since maxwell architecture, some key integer operation for mining is done in one cycle of operation and the gap between nvidia and amd has somewhat disappeared.
Now, depending of the card, kernel algo amd or nvidia is better.

For memory latency sensitive kernel (ethereum mining, xmr mining) amd was better till the arrival of pascal, where GTX 1070 is now as good as best amd cards with a lower consumption (the GTX 1080 is not competitive due to latency for GDDR5X).

Nevertheless, with dual mining (ETH + SIA), amd nano or fury has better performance than GTX 1070 (GCN architecture is more adapted for dual mining). See claymore miner. new amd card RX 470-480 is competitive too.

For others kernel (without dual mining)  (decreed, sia, lbry)  pascal architecture is now generally ahead in perf and far better in perf/power than amd.

Those G1's can pull 188W each if you don't use a lower power limit. The rest of the system is generally about 70W so you could be at 822W. That's really pushing it especially long term.

Personally, I'm never going over 80-85% PSU utilizastion for longer periods of time even on top quality PSUs.

Yes those G1's can pull 199W if you slide the powerlimit to +111%. I am using server power supplies from decomissioned servers with some customization (580W). Each graphic card has its own PS, but i thing i can connect two these G1's to one PS.

Now thats what i needed. thankyou for sharing the information there friend. Finally the nvidia card owner can work with something. But now so people starting up with mining would go for nVidia. Not everyone would think for dual mining.

I managed to OC my EVGA 1070 with samsung memory to 9216 Mhz. It seems stable, but is it safe? With undervolted GPU to 62% of TDP - about 93watt per card at the wall.

if no artifact then yes, if you see artifact then no, revert back

[Vlad2Vlad]

How many LTC per day can one mine from a dual GTX 1080 rig?  Thx.
