Hi,
Thanks to all for a super thread.
I have this configuration:
0.3.0b
2x 1080 GTX @ 470-480sol/s on 132w per gtx ( Power limit 55%, +60 core clock + 420 mem) Gigabyte extreme gaming 1x 1050ti @ 140sol on 52w- 72%, Power +200, mem +220
3x 1060 GTX 6GB Gigabyte extreme gaming - @ 270-280sol/s on 92w - power 52%, core clock +150, mem +300 3x 1070 Gainward @ 365-375sol/s on 107w - power 72%, core +200, mem +300
instead of +300 mem on the 1070 try -500mhz or even -1200mhz if it will handle it (mine does) gives more power to the core which will bring your hashrate up for the same power usage... my setting for 1070 atm is G1 Gaming: 1070 samsung mem : power -40 % / core (default) / mem -1200mhz / temp 91 / =400sol's on 90wats......

Hope this helps

I think you are right about the mem -1200, in theory at same TPL if the mem uses less power the core should work faster at the same TPL! I will try it tomorrow! thank you! indkt

Help me decide guys...
2x GTX 1060 3gb $388 ($194 each) or 1x GTX 1070 $389
my budget is $390. only
which is the best investment for mining?
Thanks

whats you electricity cost?? 2x1060 faster more power.. 1x1070 slower more efficient

What software are you using to achieve mem -1200mhz? I'm Using afterburner and the slider stops at -500. I have a G1 gaming and it's currently at power limit 60%, core +100 mem -500 and it's doing around 375-380sol/s. I know I can crank it up to 450-470 sol but that extra 100 sol uses approximately double the power (I think?) so doesn't seem worth it. I would like to try even lower mem. Is there a setting somewhere in afterburner to allow lower clocks or are you using another method or different software?

Crypto currency enthusiast and miner since 2015. Mined approx 200 ETH during 2016 and 2017 and sold it at approximately $US40 each. Then I watched it reach $1000+ each. If anyone bothers to read this stuff pay attention to this: HODL HODL HODL HODL HODL HODL
I started mining with 1 AMD 7950 and 1 R9-280X. Then I gradually built my AMD operation into 12 R9-290s. Awesome ETH hash but ridiculous power consumption and heat. Over the last year I defected to the Nvidia team. I now use GTX 1070s. They were expensive to buy (probably a bargain now) but awesome hash rate vs. power consumption. blah blah blah blah

Why has everyone decided that dropping mem is a good idea? Is the TDP number for the whole card or just the GPU chip and doesn't include the power consumption of the memory? If that TDP is for the whole card what is the point of choking the memory and losing all that hash-rate?

If that TDP is for the whole card what is the point of choking the memory and losing all that hash-rate? No this is not how it works, each card has different TDP slider settings and each algo takes different amount of watt. You cannot estimate watt like that. For some cards 55= TDP is the same as 70% TDP for other just based on the TDP curve. Also lowering mem for zcash does not make sense since it uses quite a lot of memory. It makes sense for example for pascal, lbry etc. that do not use the memory controller at all.

Totally agree, but today you have to look at others algos like lbry, skein, and such to make an opinion because Zcash is diving

I dont make nearly close on other algos, of what I make with zec. (1070), it's doing 410-440 sol/s and sipping the max amount of juice, even though I limited its power to 84%, temp is 75c, mem clock +250, gpu clock + 200.

I f you do not plan to expand than go with 2x 1060 If you plan to expand and add more cards then you will thank yourself by going with efficiency. 6x 1070 for example. But all this might will change when NVidia release a new card. Than 1080 will drop in price and will be the card of choice. Well my choice that is.

It's not funny as you obviously don't get the point of sticking to a topic and not spamming a thread with unrelated chat convo. But I see you belong to the category troll.

I've been using AMD rigs for a while, and I thought I'd try my hand with some CUDA boards.
I have a rig with Windows 10x64, 378.66 drivers, and three Geforce 1080 boards. For some reasons, Windows keeps shutting down one of the boards. If I click on it and have it find the drivers, it install older drivers. All three boards do work then however with the older driver.
When I run EWBF, the hashrate starts out around what I would expect and then quickly decays.
My questions: 1. Are the 378.66 drivers required? If so, any clues on why one of the boards doesn't like it? 2. Why the decaying hashrate? I've not mucked with any settings yet. These are stock. 3. Are the hash rates from Linux comparable to Windows? I'm much more comfortable with Unix.
NOTE: I do have the BIOS set to integrated graphics chip. This I've found makes managing things much easier. The motherboard is a MSI Z97.
