GTX 1050ti Ethereum Mining Rig

[milosx7]

I mine Ethereum with 1050Ti : the hashrate is not so bad but i'm a little bit anxious with the diificulty grows.

Yeah, difficulty is rapidly increasing. But so should the ETH price, too. It's not that of a big deal tbh. Just keep on mining and saving, and one day we all might get rich $$$$$$ ^^

I do not intend to be rich with crypto currencies, but thanks for showing us yours 1050 Ti mining rig experience, I 've been always a huge nvidia miner fan, since the beginning of cudaminer / ccminer.

Nice temps, btw.

Temps are terrible imo, because I live in a house on the top floor, but the outer isolation on the house isn't finished yet. When the sun burns hard like these days bricks get hot and they heat up my entire floor. I either need to install some air conditioner or finish the isolation to minimize the heat. I could also move my rigs in my garage but I should need air conditioning anyway because sitting in a room like this is unacceptable.

The average person in my city earns around 220$ a month, don't get too confused because things are really cheap here and it's not as hard to survive with 220$ monthly. With 6 GTX1050ti I'll be earning around 16$ a day, which easily beats most of the people in my town working 8h a day for like 9 or 10$.
But they are all sceptical about mining. No one believes it can earn you real ($$$) money...

We are from the same country. People are legit being skeptic since they don't know shit about things like these. At the end of the day we have a nice scam history around here.
Kairos, OneCoin and so on only for the last few years (if not the last year only).

With the difficulty increasing + the scams that go around being easily eaten by people like ours, their doubt is somewhat justified (of course if they'd research on their own once, they'd find find out what's the deal), but that doesn't mean after ETH goes unprofitable another coin won't be as profitable or simply decently profitable with enough rigs after the ROI hits. So at the end of the day, mining still pays off, but you have to invest what you can afford to lose.

Around 70C in this conditions in not bad, also think that buying an air conditioner will increase your electric bills.

Where do you live? I`m asking this because I live in a hot country and I know what is to deal with high temperatures in hardware stuff, above 80C and at the 90-100C under full load, things get ugly.

At about 3 years ago, nobody believed on mining something with a computer here too, everybody looked at me as I was some crazy guy, now things are a little different.

nvidia can mine zcash, so don't worry, zcash is more durable and has many good clone, like hush zen and zcashclassic, all very profitable, you can mine that if ETH go down, besides i woudl mien that anyway, ETH is not good with nvidia

Actually while mining Ethereum my my whole system was using about 375-380W out of the wall (5x1060). I was running 55 TDP and was at 93mh/s (94-95mh/s was my peak with 85% TDP)
When I switched to ZCash I had to up my TDP to get clock speed up there. Without oc they would hash about 1100 Sol/s, after oc they are hashing 1450 Sol/s. But I had to up TPD to 100% and now the system is drawing 665W. But I do earn a lot more compared to Ethereum, it's just that the power cost is quite a bit higher.

I want to set up a rig for eth/etc and i found 6 gtx 1050ti cards at a reasonable price here in europe (140€ each) , here are the specs:

- VGA 4GB MSI GTX1050 TI 4GT OC
- Base Core Clock 1341 MHz
- Boost 1455 MHz  
- Memory Clock Speed 7008 MHz
- Power consumption 75w

How many MH/s do you think i can reach with this card? Do you think it's worth it? What software would you recommend?

Read my first post I have done some research and I've updated it. I'm getting ~14.8 MH/s with my GTX 1050ti.

Did you try to dual mine ETH+LBC? looks it is more efficient.

Nope, I was too lazy to set up a wallet. I'll try to uninstall drivers for my GPU today again, and put the GPUs in PCI-e 1x slots, one in the first, and second in the last, to set them more apart to see if I can get a better cooling, and install the driver again (Reseating the GPUs without reinstalling the driver seems to cause problems) . I have tried mining ZCash, Getting around 165 Sols with EWFB's miner (I think that's the miner name).Nevertheless I'll as soon as I reseat my cards, I'll play around ZCash to see whats the maximum sols/s I can get.
I'll also try dual-mining and post results on my first post. (I will update it every time I improve something)

How much W does it pull at the wall? and what's the equihash performance (for example Zcash)?

I got around 165 Sol/s on Zcash. I haven't played around Zcash to see the maximum I can get out of them because I don't intent to mine it (I plan to switch on ETC when ETH goes to PoS).
GPUz displays ~92% TDP. So if the cards TDP is 75w, with my clock settings it's drawing ~70w (IF my calculations are right)

Should i mine on claymore? I am currently mining on genoil.
I won't dual mine and if i do dual mine, how much + am i looking to earn + if i had the same mh/s/gpu power as you do?

Greetings.

Welp, I sacrificed 1 MH/s on ETH, which is -5$ / month, and got +20$ a month with Siacoin. So it's very worth it.

[akuci]

So you get about 165 sol with max overclock on ZCash?

And what is your profit on ETH + Sia?

I have JUST NOW received 4 more cards, waiting for risers.
I will update you on my monthly profits as soon as I set everything up and running smoothly
I have 3 cards in my system now (I cant fit anymore without risers)
Currently getting 41 MH/s on ETH and 410 MH/s on Sia.

Nice, I started a rig based on your:

- MSI Pro Solution Intel Z170A LGA 1151 DDR4 USB 3.1 ATX Motherboard
- Intel G4400 3.3 GHz LGA1151
- Kingston HyperX FURY Black 4GB 2133MHz DDR4 Non-ECC
- Corsair  RM1000x, 80Gold
- ASUS Geforce GTX 1050Ti 4GB ROG STRIX OC Edition [x3]

Cost: 956$

Planning to order 3+ when the first got shipped. I'll update and share the performance too.

[Premprince16]

Hii
I have 2*gtx 1060 3gb GPUs and planning to add 5 more gtx 1050ti 4gb. I'm using Windows 10 anniversary update for gtx 1060 GPUs. So will it be possible to mine that gtx 1050 ti using Windows 10 anniversary?

The PSU is an overkill. I doubt these GPUs can drain more than 600w under full load along with all the other components. But yeah you can always sell em later and invest the money you mined into 1070. 1070 is a monster for ZCash mining. ETH too, I've seen 32MH/s on a card on youtube, then your 1000w PSU wont be an overkill. All in all, I couldn't get the 6th GPU to load. At first my PC wouldn't start and I had to do various configuration in BIOS, disable and modify lots of options... If you can help me get the 6th GPU running you can. However I will be looking on a fix online for today, I was very busy yesterday getting the rig to run and got tierd. So my job for today is to get the 6th GPU to run, and see whats the max OC i can get with them.

I think you can add whatever card you want. You MIGHT have troubles getting them to load, but It's possible. You can even mix AMD and NVIDIA cards, I've seen it on youtube, so mixing only NVIDIA cards should be quite easy to accomplish. But yes, you can do that.

The items just got shipped today, will let you know when I assemble and configure the rig.

Nice, please take a picture of the rig and post here to the btctalk community.

Equihash is the best algorithm to load at those 1050tis, it's the current best mining option for nvidia cards.
