SILENTARMY v5: Zcash miner, 115 sol/s on R9 Nano, 70 sol/s on GTX 1070

[zawawa]

You should be able to run my fork on Linux.
I really didn't add anything Windows-specific this time around.

[Subw]

that's good.
waiting for your fork release and a GTX1060 fund address

[Amph]

I will, I will. No worries. I will release my fork in a day or two.
Although it is not as fast as Claymore's yet, it should be much faster than SA v5 on AMD cards.
I already sold most of my NVIDIA cards, so I have no idea how it would compare on NVIDIA cards.
If I had received a lot of donations, I could have justified purchasing GTX 1060 to my wife, but I could only dream...

why you have sold them? they perform better than amd, just look at nice hash result 370 sol on a 1070, you couldn't achieve such speed?

Let's not start the nvidia vs amd propaganda.

He probably sold before the recent Nvidia speed boosts, which made them somewhat in the ballpark cost/perfwise.  370 is on a highly overclocked card, realistically 1070 gets ~330@150w, and also pool locked. So sure they peform ~50% better currently, but cost more than twice as much.

216 sol a 1060 that is cheap and with less than 90 watt, better than a 470, 1070 is still not there yet i agree, but nvidia isn't only 1070 you know, there is 1050ti/1060 etc...

1060 3GB is a decent card for mining.  Similar speed to a a 470 (which does ~200 with stock clocks), but also costs more. Can get a 470 for $175, 1060 is $200+ ($200 is for garbage cooling). 216 sol is heavy OC, I have moderate OC on a 1060 3GB, pulling 200, my other 2 are only doing 180, so I highly doubt you using 90w.  The other issue is currently Zec profitability is pretty crap, I can make $30/month Eth only with a 470 easy (no memory OC), pulling very little watts, or $22 on Zec.  Nvidia missed the party for Zec it seems.

1070 can do 310 sol at 100 watt so i can't see how the 1060 is not doing 200 sol and less than 90 watt, it should be 70-80, nvidia is currently more efficent than amd that is certain

It seems that the 1070 is better than the R9 390 or even the Nano. The nano can do 300 at 140W.

Looking at my card in GPU-Z again, it may be possible, the shown power % of TDP on it yesterday was ~80%, now its ~50-60% for some reason.  Maybe was looking at different brands.....  Don't feel like moving my Killawatt. 

Anyways, currently a 1070 would make ~$30/month, and have ~14 month ROI, and a 1060 3GB would have ~11 month ROI, add in system costs, and it is doesn't look any better.  470 on Ethereum would have ~7 month ROI. So like I said, Nvidia totally missed the party.  At this point, being slightly more efficient for ZEC isn't really a win, unless there is some major pump happening on ZEC, because Ethereum is so much more profitable.

how about mine zec buy eth with it?

i have 120x r9 nanos running..(i have them almost 1 year)
mining ze gives me 4zec a day making it 0.24btc a day... at current eth rate i can buy 22eth a day

mining eth gives me 16eth so mining zec buy dirct eth of exchange gives me 33% extra eth profit..

how is etheruem more profitable? dunno where you are taking those numbers, but ethereum is not more profitable than zcash, not even for amd, they are there

a 1070 is making 1.2 net per day currently at 10 cent electricity, that is $36 per month, which is 12 months roi, if you get it used($300 second hand) or founder edition it's even 10 months roi or less

a 470 will roi on 7 months, but you need to roi more than one 470 card to equal one 1070, because the 1070 is faster even on etheruem 32-33MH vs 27mh(i don't remember the exact hahs of a 470 there)?

Profitability depends on card, though right now Zec is particularly bad.  A 470 doin 27.7MH Eth (strap mod, no OC) make $30 (according to whattomine, and 0.068/kwh), doing Zec it will do 200H, and get ~$20.

A 1060 will make ~$20 Zec, or ~20 Eth.

A 1070 would make ~$32 Zec, or ~$34 Eth (with crazy high memory OC)

7000/200/300/Fury cards, I think are similar Zec and Eth profit since Zec is in the toilet right now, before they were better off doing Zec.

So for Polaris cards, Eth is hands down better (~50% more profit), and for other cards its similar, with Eth sometimes having a small lead.

If you are talking about used cards, you can get a 470 for $145, giving it a 5 month ROI.

No matter how you slice it, even with recent Nvidia boost to Zec, it just isn't as good. Sure a highly OC 1070 rig doing Eth will make slightly more profit than a 470 stock clocks, but it costs twice as much, so not a win. 1060 does maybe 19MH eth with +200 mem, and 1070 memory bus is only 33% wider, so 33MH must be some crazy insane torture for a 1070. An abused 470 will do ~31MH.

And all of the last dozen posts have absolutely nothing to do with the OP. Yet another thread devolves into a AMD vs Nvidia food fight. It's not that comparing GPUs isn't an interesting topic to discuss, it's just that it has no place here.

NR_ROWS_LOG=15 is finally working.
The numbers look promising, but I need to tweak kernel_sol() now.
More work, more work...

Alright, I'm hitting 140 sol/s with RX 480, and I haven't even tried NR_ROWS_LOG=14 yet.
Good stuff. I think I can go well over 200 sol/s with a GCN assembler now.

There isn't really much news in this thread.  If everything was only about miner progress, it would be pretty silent around here. I was just updating on profitability, so people have facts rather than "OMG Nvidia cards learned how to mine, everyone stock up!", without knowing it will take forever to ROI.  I don't blindly follow either vendor for mining, I just go with whoever makes me the most money. I have some Nvidia cards for tinkering, I would have more if they weren't overpriced for the performance.

CLRX is my favorite.

I love it, too! That's the way to go, methinks.
