I've been mining ETH for the past couple months, but with the summer coming up, power consumption is a bigger concern than it is in the winter.  Now that ZEC miners are close to fully-optimized, I expect the power consumption has grown.  Whattomine shows equihash consuming less power than ethash, but mycryptobuddy shows the reverse.  Has anyone done a comparison in the last month or so with Polaris cards?  I figure there's no point in setting up my power monitoring gear on one of my rigs if someone has already done the testing.

Eth only mode and zec mining on polaris are pretty much the same maybe eth you can underclock and undervolt more than zec , but last month or so they were close in power consuming , of course without dual mining Smiley
