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

[Longsnowsm]

So I finally decided to get off of my backside and buy some Nvidia 1070's.  They should be here this week.  Now I need to start thinking through the details of the rig.  I will be upgrading an existing AMD rig to the NVidia cards.  It currently runs Ubuntu 14.04 with an Asrock mobo, i3, 16gb ram, and 120gig ssd. 

Trying to decide if I should stick with Ubuntu here or migrate this to Win 10.  Also looking for input from you guys on what miner software you are using.  I am thinking this miner will probably be floating between Zcash, Library, Feather based on profitability.  What mining software do you guys recommend for the NVidia cards?  Thanks!

I would stay with ubuntu; way more stable than Windows.  For ZEC use EWBF, for LBC or FTC I recommend using ccminer (there are a lot of different forks and more than one private version). 

Thank you Fullzero!  I will check those out.  I have been torn about switching the OS since it appears so many times that Windows support is better than Linux.   It is kind of frustrating.

I released nvOC to help change that.

Sweet!  I didn't know anything about nvOC.  I will give it a try and see if I can get it up and running for this rig.  Anything to make the management of the rigs easier would be fantastic.

I followed your link in your signature and I can already see a problem... See how I am?  I am a whiny customer and I haven't even tried the product yet...

But hear me out.  I scanned through your post for nvOC and I ran across this problem.  Nowhere in the post did I see a donate address.  Seriously, no donate address! 

This means without donations the developer of nvOC will starve and die.  And if he starves and dies then we are stuck with orphaned technology and no support.  I don't want to adopt orphaned technology for my miners do I?  This must be some sort of oversight on your part as I am pretty sure you don't want to starve... LOL 

Thanks for sharing nvOC with the community.  This is a much needed tool.  I will check it out!

How much does a GTX 1070 do in ethereum?

31.5 MH/s overclocked.

I think the 1070 is better for ZEC mining.

They are the king now. Very efficient.

I have 1060/1070/1080/1080ti... if you cut tdp to 80 you have the same performance per watt for all models. 3.5 ratio

1060 310 with 90w
1070 420 with 120w
1080 540 with 150w
1080ti 700 with 195w

Is that on the wall?

No worries, he replaced the donate address with a backdoor

i am buying myself 1070 (also thinking about 1060 becouse of the price, but i do not know which one to take.

the price varie from 390€ to 450€. i will buy 6 of them. I have no idea what are the difference,but i read, that mainly they perfom the same. IS this true?
I have 2 AMD rig, but no knowlidge about ndvidia.

i was looking at this store. What would be best buy?

thank you for any help

[pallas]

I suggest EVGA SC or FTW.
3 years international warranty, very good service.

Yes. And more or less what you read on GPUZ.. different from AMD product where 80w in GPUZ will be 100 at the wall (pcie power consume)

take the mini they perform well and have a much lower price the kfa2 or the inno3d from palit are very good brand they cost around 380 shipping included from amazon, 1060 take the 3gb version no need to waste money on the 6gb version, but it's better to wait for the refresh for this, which is going to happen soon

amazon.de ? i did not find it for that price. I am buying in europe,so one of the chepest store is mindfactory. I must dig to get better price, but for now, i found that one as a cheapest store.

Will be refresh also in 1070 or only 1060?  is 1060 3gb perfoming same as 10606 gb regarding mining ZEC?

3 years international is very good. which one from the EVGA:

SC black or SC aktiv? where is the diference, beside price (30€)

That is a good indication. But it should be at least 10% difference due to the PSU efficiency.

Hello,

I just started mining to test that thing.

I used for the pool give-me-coins (address is fine and found by bfgminer)
I used for the miner bfgminer (looks like the only option for gtx 1070)
I used as GUI awesome miner under win 10 (like it)
I used as a wallet bitcoin-qt (got my wallet address and encrypted and downloaded all transactions, pff, 260 GB)

Looks like everything runs fine.

Now, according the discussion, I should better mine other kind of coins for the gtx 1070 architecture.
When I have a look at the pool, I do not see the rerefences that were mentioned before (I only see those below:
LTC   BTC   FTC   NMC   VTC   PPC   PTC   uLTC   SYS   DOGE   VIA   UNO   DASH

Could I use one of those and keep the all software setup as described before?
Or shall I change the pool? Which one shall i use then?

Or shall I just stop and continue with BOINC projects (scientist research)
Thanks in advance!
Got 2 GTX 1070 and 1 GTX 1060 6GB

mmm, when i see this on ebay: USB Stick Bitcoin Miner 15GH/s
It doesn't really make sense to mine on GPU , so much waste of power ...

Nobody mines bitcoin with gpus.

What else "currency" could I mine with GPU ?
Will there be supported by what I specified before ?

Hello, i want to start mining, tell me please
I already broke my brain ) What to choose
2x 1070
or
3x 480/580 8gb
or
3x1060 6gb

What coin are you looking to mine?

you could go:

3x 480/580 8gb or 3x 470/570 8gb if you want to mine ETH or XMR

or 2x 1070 or 3x1060 6gb if you want to mine ZEC or LBC

also I would recommend making 6x gpu rigs as you will get more hash for your $. 

Hello, thank you for answer!  I am searching  for the  most situable variant for now and near future to build 4-6 rig with time . I think that 1070 is more powerfull and effective, isnt't it ?

But if isn't no difference in  profit between 1070 and 580\480 ...
I will take more cheaper gp .

It depends on how expensive your power is.  Mine is rather expensive.

currently:

my 6x 1070 rigs mining ZEC generate $420 a month - elec costs each ( rigs cost ~$2500 each)

my 6x 1060 rigs mining ZEC generate $297 a month - elec costs each ( rigs cost ~$1900 each)

for AMD I only have one 4x 470 (all with custom roms) rig mining ETC (note ETC is abnormally high right now).  It generates $293 a month - elec costs ( rig cost $1150)

Hi, i have two rigs
first rig is 7 x 1070
second rig is 6 x rx470

with both of above i can mine about 10.3 ETH permonth.

looking at your comment if i switch to mine ZEC i will gain more on 1070 rig ?

At current rates you would be projected to generate $572 a month mining ZEC with optimal OC on 7x 1070s.

Edit: I just checked and for the first time in a very long time it looks like its actually more profitable to be mining ETH with 1070s.  But ZCL or HUSH still are better.
