GPU Mining w/ NVidia

[knightkon]

Once I get this card in, is there anything I need to do other than installing the card into my computer in order to start GPU mining on minergate?

[knightkon]

Will miner gate recognize a NVIDIA and a AMD if in the same system or should I stick to the same type cards in the same system.

[knightkon]

For ethereum, it's a 3-4 MH/s card.

 Can't speak to much else, as my pair of 750Ti cards are in gaming machines and run moowrapper on their "downtime".

Hey, I installed the 750Ti i got and I am only pushing 1.35M/s when mining ETH.  I am using miner gate because I do not know how to set up anything else.  Is there some setting I need to change to get 2-3 MH/s?

With a 750Ti (I had the 2 GB version) I would mine Neoscrypt, it still gives about $0.2 - $0.3 daily profit.

So what's the final word on coin to mine with a 390 card?

[anorganix]

This is an Nvidia GPU thread, but if I were you I'd still be mining ETH/EXP. Don't take my word for it, it's just an oppinion.

I believe I was running qtminer when I had my 750ti cards working ethereum.

 Genoil or that Doubleminer thing might do better.


 I tried Minergate once - VERY poor hashrates on anything I tried it on, and a royal PAIN to configure. IMO ignore it as it's junk.


 You might want to look into the Nicehash miner stuff, I've not had the time to play with that yet.

Nvidia cards, with the exception of the 10xx series have problems mining ETH on Windows. When I did it, I needed to use an older driver and then a miner compiled for CUDA 6.5 and then it will work. I don't know what your hashrate would be, but I'm sure a lot better than what you're getting now.

I suggest you read through this thread- https://forum.ethereum.org/discussion/2227/cuda-miner/ which details Genoil's CUDA miner for ethereum, there's also a thread right here on this forum: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1368785.0

I was getting about 14mh/s with a GTX 760 but this was months ago so I'm sure it's lower now.

 The issues were with mining on Windows 10.

 Windows 7 has never had these issues.

 With that said, mining on LINUX is a lot more stable.

OP said he was on Win8. I can say from experience that the same problems on 10 exist on 8. I was getting 3mh/s on Win8 with my old 760 until I rolled to the older drivers and used CUDA 6.5, then I hit 14mh/s mining ETH.

can anyone tell me please,what cpu must i buy for 5-6 gtx 1060 - pentium,i3 or i5?

thanks

[cptfisher]

celeron is also fine. cpu does not matter while mining

Given that cpu mining it's a waste of time/power/money, you can easily find a decent dual core with at least 3MB L2 cache. A general celeron with an MSRP of 60/70 bucks it's sufficient; what matters it's the motherboard, and for 6 VGA's you need to use good models, with a good tipology of risers.

what can you tell me?asus b85 trooper is good(for 5 cards)?

[Nikolaj]

I wouldn't load 75*5W on a pcb that isn't designed to support these loads (Max A scenario, useful if you plan to implement RX480's)

It seems capable, but who knows in the long term?

You should opt for rock solid designs, like the asrock h81 pro btc. Otherwise you should seek for a motherboard with auxiliary 6 PIN/molex connectors (better the first tipology).

[Newton90]

Max A scenario

better the first tipology

i'm not a geek,and what mean "A scenario" and "first typology"?
