Best GPU's to mine ZCASH with?

[bigjee]

Profit is how it is....still one of the best options for nVidia cards....
Got my first Ti yesterday..710sol out of the box.

Guys help....What is the best ZEC miner/pool at the moment?

Im using EWBF with flypool

flypool is one of the best if not the best. If the electricity prices are on the higher side where you live, i suggest you tweak your gpu settings. You can get 680sols while only using 170 watts. 4sols/watt is pretty awesome

Yeah I need too undervolt it for sure. My electricity cost is around 0,14 USD per kWh.

Im using nanopool now...do you recommend to switch for flypool?

I am also using nanopool. It is a very stable pool.
I think it is best to avoid flypool (It has almost 50 percent mining power, and that is making the whole ZEC network unsecure)

the highest hasrate one one pool i believe it is a flypool
so my guees it would be wiser to go there - cause huger hash rates - easier to find new block and get reward

just my 2 cents

by the way, nevere had any problem with it from middle of June when I came to the mining world

As others have said its not good for one pool to have such a large hashrate. . however I get better returns on flypool as opposed to when I mined on nanopool or slushpool

I tried on slushpool, the return is not as good.

my buddy states coinotron has better results for him than flypool but I haven't gotten around to testing it  yet so maybe others could chime in .. .

pretty nice price drop on the 1070 mini

 Irritating timing, I had just bought one of those about a week before that - JUST out of their price-match timeframe.

 On the other hand, Bitcoin dropped over 10% in that same timeframe, so it worked out OK.


 flypool seems to have been suffering from a DDOS attack today, not sure if it's over yet or not - but those seem to happen semi-randomly to ALL the pools at times.

which flypool server are you connected to? I didn't notice anything unusual yesterday O_O

That is irritating, surprised at these recent 1060 and 1070 prices and yet TI's are still stupid high

[Shoxc]

I am mining with NVIDIA Geforce 1060 3GB and getting around 300 sold out of the box for each...
But when I read about the values of other users cards I feel like I have to cry

[BitcoinIntern]

How much maximum hash rate is everyone getting? I am very new to GPU mining and just trying to do my profit calculations before investing into hardware. Thank you guys.

 I was confused, forgot I'd been working on the system that was on flypool. Ignore the doom and gloom.

If I push towards max hash (my norm) I'm seeing 760sol/s right now out of my Aorus 1080 ti - +5% power, +50 cpu, +200 memory - and I'm CERTAIN that's not the most it's capable of, I've been having "crashing driver" issues with the newest Nvidia 3xx.41 junk and am in the process of rolling back to something more reliable.
 At my power cost, there's no point in "efficient" on ZEC mining at this time, I NET more by not being efficient and I'm nowhere near power limits on the new place.

what is the memory in your 1060?

whats your power cost? I'm jealous I pay 10.5 cents kwh that's awesome though keep me posted, I will be messing around with those cards sometime next week, or preferably i'd like to just sell them as all my other cards are X size and theyre 1.5x X size lol

[Miningstore]

I personally like an 8 GPU build with RX 5series cards and that hashes at about 2200h/s no OC.
With OC settings and BIOS mods for AMD cards as effective as they are on the 4 and 5 series cards I could see that hashrate going up by at least 35-40%

 Well under 5 cents / kwh all-up.

 There's a REASON I spent most of a month last summer moving from Iowa to "The Land Of Very Very Cheap Electric" in Central Washington.

 And yes, the Aorus are bloody huge 3-slot cards - been a while since folks MADE cards that huge (I have a HIS IceQ blower model HD 7870 that is ALSO 3-slot, but only the BLOWER area is that wide).

 They're no worse than some of the other cards out there - at least one Zotac model and at least one MSI model are JUST as huge.

 They have awesome cooling though for air-cooled.

I think zcash is nvidia friendly, it is better to use nvidia card instead of AMD.

This is a new rig with 7 cards soon to be 9.
Running SMOS on a USB.
I have the cards set so the highest one is around 60 to 65c.
100/500 fans at 80%
These are MSI cards
They seem quiet. 50db at 3 feet
They feel warm. Around 115 degrees to the touch.
They run in my unheated 2 car garage and if I don't open the door daily
the temps push 90 degrees.
I've ordered an exhaust fan that I'll be installing soon so I can hopefully
push the power level a bit. Although 4Sol/w seems like a good tradeoff.
