[...]
It's a tactical decision to hold. And it's unwise to do that during a downward trend.
[...]
Absolutely! The critical point I was making, is making sure that your tactical decisions take into consideration your own weight into that "downward trend".  If you alone (or your group mining operation) can drive the price down, you are the trendsetter! (just stop sending it down  ) ~ Myagui Edit: Opinions are like a$$holes, everybody's gone one! I just want to add that I've been known to be wrong (many times), so not trying to push my own judgement here. I'm just thinking that this group of green machines should figure out ways to cooperate to everyone's benefit, instead of stepping into one another's toes. |

is something along the lines of g3220 with 8 gb ram enough to run a 6 card 750ti rig, or do i need something beefier ?

I ran six 760Ti GPU cores on a Sempron single core, 4 GB RAM. Just upgraded to AMD FX-8350 for more punch with Monero and Boolberry. Christian |

Christian Then you probably have solution to my problem : At first, my ccminer ( got just 2x750Ti ) significantly drops in hashrate (for example, when mining TLK, from ~4500KHash to 1000-1500 Khash), from time to time with no particular reason. Finally solved it using K-boost in EVGA precision X and enabling full power in NCP. Yet, it still happens from time to time. And then, when I started mining with FX8350 on that same computer, using anything over 4 cores (to mine MRO, for example) drops the hash rate to the similar level, not all the time, but from time to time. I've set "above normal" priority for ccminer50, also, I've got like 30% of cpu in system idle process. Is that normal, and what would be solution to it? |

hmm I am doing my mining on Ubuntu 12.04, so I cannot really comment much on performance problems with Windows on my Windows development PC I haven't yet experienced performance drops. Christian |

Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 @Christian : So if you didn't experience performance drops, it means it's not normal then. When I was using SGminer and AMD cards, I had no issues whatsoever, leaving just 1 core free. |

And here is the screenshot. Also tried with all CCminer versions available. Sometimes hashrate stabilizes with no particular reason.  |

I wish Asus would put 2 or 4 750Ti cores on one card and call it MARS IV or whatever. I'd buy a dozen. Price doesn't matter  Christian |

Can we get any idea of mining perf of monero compared to claymore's ati miner?

you might want to try running one instance of the miner per card, each giving a different -d switch. Maybe that behaves better? |

Thanks, tried that already, the screenshot is actually made with 2 instances, one per card, -d0 and -d1 switch. Let me plug in 4 more gigs of RAM, didn't try that. EDIT: No help. In fact, when I start mining with just 3 cores out of 8, hashrate drops from ~4.4MH to 1.3MH. This is becoming a 6-day nightmare. |

i'm suddenly having a weird problem and don't know how to proceed...
i was having problems running 5 cards, and wasn't sure if it was a problem with my mobo (it was) or win 8, so i tried win 7...
on 8, i was able to run each card at 2mh with literally no setup... i don't even recall installing drivers, and think they came in one of the updates or something...
on 7, after installing whatever the latest drivers were in the update, i can't seem to break 1.3 per card...
is there some particular setting that i'm missing for win 7 ?

Price doesn't matter Christian If price doesn't matter then why not just pickup a GeoForce GTX Titan Z?  (Or depending on performance a Tesla K40?) The TitanZ would give you 5760 CUDA cores vs the 750ti 640 cores. Downside is that it's 50% more then just buying 2 GeoForce GTX Titans. I'm half temped to pick one up next month just to have the "hottest" toy available. Of course I'd probably just go for the non "Z" version which is one GPU at half the cores. Carlo |
