I have to wonder when thread 5 is going to start.
9-)
I was thinking page 99. I sold my seven 1070s I was going to buy all 1080 ti's with the sales. I may get a few Amd vegas instead. 7 1070s were doing 2800 Sols at 700 watts I think three Vegas will do 3000 sols at 600 watts looking forward to your Vega review soon Phil 600watts for 3000sols is very good One of my contacts doing 3D modelling and CAD/CAM stuff, is getting a DIY workstation with Vega and Ryzen, to replace his aging Dell T1700 workstation.

learnt a lot from Carter during my nube days circa 2015 looking forward to his 5 x Vega rig -- live streaming -- all his other testing usually last 2 hours ! fun and down to earth guy. I am following his sgminer VS claymore epoch #150 discussions also .... with wxxxx.... kudos to him for pursuing this issue

If you are looking for what to mine (but solo only i think), there is spreadcoin and nexus you can check out. there is a private miner out for nexus but idk if its worth it, depends on how many 1080tis you have. I'm not solo mining, variance is too high for my nvidia hashrate.

thanks I will check it out. I am in position to buy 3000 worth of gpu's so 4 1080 ti's or 3 amd vega's need info to decide which to buy. my may show me the vega is better for me if it can do 1000 sols at 175-200 watts but that if the vega does 900 sols at 175 -200 watts it is a push anything less the 1080 ti is better. The price I used for this is 1000 usd for the amd and 700 for the 1080ti

Wait for the consumer Vega cards, rumored to be due out late this month or sometime next month.
The Frontier Edition is priced high due to it's workstation orientation, the consumer cards should be more like half the price (depending on the specific model, apparently they are going to be a LINE this time around instead of only being 1 GPU with a "lose one compute unit from manufacturing defects and sell it as a lower-end model" and "make a shortie card version" routine).
I won't be shocked if the Vega can beat the 1080ti on ZEC mining, that would be in line with Fury hashrates and clock speed upgrades. I WOULD be shocked if the high-end consumer card Vega can't at least get very close.

The consumer Vega has been confirmed by AMD twitter for release at Siggraph July 30th - August 3rd https://www.guru3d.com/news-story/radeon-rx-vega-confirmed-launching-at-siggraph.html

When the consumer Vega comes out I'm going to grab 4-6. I'll roll the dice (a Las Vegas phrase were I live) If they don't work out I'll light up E-Bay the gamers will love me. This whole Bitcoin-Altcoin thing is a gamble-Risk you can't be timid if you what to do this dance. Just my 2cents. your mileage may vary. Chili

Suddenly getting "ERROR: Cannot connect to the pool" on ewbf. I have been mining fine on nicehash for few weeks. Does anyone else get this?
EDIT: I think something wrong with nicehash USA server? Changed server to EU and it is fine. Is USA server down?

How many cards is that your running? seen the 1080ti labels, rig 1 seems like 2x1080ti's and rig 2 im unsure on.. seems like 2x1080ti +1080? Just curious, im looking to make a change.. my earnings lately have been terrible on zpool... with 18x 1080ti's i made a whole 0.0189btc in 24hrs of mining....

I have been following this thread and last month changed over a couple of 380 systems to 1080 ti 's. This decision wasn't financially justfied, but more than a future proofing move. I had no confidence in getting any vegas for a couple of months and attempted to cash in on June's coin mining bonanza.
I'm constrained by power and cooling, so each mining system "slot" can't draw more than 1kW and and GPU's have to more than 1 fan.
All the watt measurements are using a Kill-a-watt meter.
The cards that I purchased were the EVGA 1080ti FTW.
4 1080 ti's replaced 6 ASUS Strix R9 380's. Typically 6 380's would hash ETH about @ 125 Mh/s @ 870W
For the 1080's I run at a TDP of 60% - 65%
a) ZEC For 4 cards, power is about 710 W @ 2600 sols/s
b) ETH, For 4 cards power is about 830W @ 142 Mh/s (+400 - +500 mem overclock)
What I find most interesting is that dual mining with these cards draws no additional power at dcri's of about 120.
c) ETH/DCR 830W @ 132 Mh/s @ 5,000 Mh/s
d) ETH/LBR 830W @ 132 Mh/s @ 380 Mh/s
e) Pure DCR 18500 Mh/s
I havn't really tweaked the above, the goal being with these new cards to not crash.
