Switching equipment from 1080ti to RX 570

[tankthefrank]

He everyone.  I'm new to this forum and have a question about my rig.
I've been mining on ethos with 2 1080ti GPUs, and am considering selling the 2 cards because people are overpaying for them so much, and replacing them with 6 RX 570.  It would be almost same cost (5 would be same cost for me).
My question is, with ethos, would it be as simple as unplugging the 1080s and plugging in the 570?  I haven't done any custom settings in config so I'm hoping this would be an easy switch.
What do you guys think?

leave 1080, you can earn more coins, in time
for the change you need to change the driver

AMD cards excel at Cryptonight and Ethash; Nvidia excels at Lyra2v2 and Equihash. Both do fairly well at Neoscrypt. Personally, I think its good to have a mix of cards but if I had to pick just one team I would go green (Nvidia).

dont bother, rx 570 is much overpriced than the gtx 1080 ti, all amd cards are overpriced right now cause eth is doing good but with this crash, many will have to lower their overpriced cards.

Also, I would not buy cards right now, will take time for them to crash too, coins crashed right now, sell your 2 gtx 1080 ti and buy coins, return at least 80% within a week.

Yes RX series is over price now due limited stock
RX series is electricity killer, better 1080ti than RX 570
GTX series good for lyra and neoscrypt algo, RX series good for ethash and cryptonight algo

[tankthefrank]

Thank you for the advice.
I guess I'll try to find a buyer willing to pay that much for my 1080ti.
The electricity demand from RX cards is not an issue for me as I'm buying a condo that has all utilities included so I'm looking at base hashpower amount for the $ I spend, and my understanding is that the 570 will get about 21-22 mhs while the 1080 ti is at 33.  So for total power for same $, I'd be around 105 mhs with 570 vs 66 with the 1080ti.

If you’re mining eth on the 1080ti, you’re doing it wrong. Even at today’s deflated prices, they’re still bringing in $10/each.

[edwardceng]

I think it's better to use 6xRX570 mining. because you will have a higher hasharate in the appeal of 2x1080ti but also you will need more bigger PSU and bigger power consumption.

I would like to know where your mining ? even with deflated with a 1080ti + 1070 IM only getting $10 for the whole setup.

Just the usual ahashpool, zpool, etc. Use Awesomeminer or sniffdogminer to find the best coin automagically and profit!

I run on Nemos through Ahashpool I tend to find awesome miner over inflates the actual profit and spends most time switching whats your awesome settings ? for algo checking for profit

[fanatic26]

You will pretty much always maek more money by not profit switching. Profit switching to maximize profits is a joke, it just doesnt work for the vast majority of people. Either you are live converting to fiat to capitalize on things or you are letting a company like nashhash convert for you and take a chunk of your profits.

Ok...so I picked up 2 RX 580 8GB cards just because the local store had stock that day.  lol  I added them to my rig (along with an old GTX 960 I had laying around), and the problem is that the system recognizes the cards on bootup, but when it gets to the screen when mining starts, it only shows 2 cards (the 2 RX 580s).  I unplugged them and automatically it goes back to the 2 1080ti.  I've tested all the hardware individually and it all works.  Am I missing something in my settings that stops all cards from working together?  Could this be because of AMD & Nvidia on same rig?
I'd attach screen shots but don't know yet how to add them on here.

Depending on the miner software you use, you have to specify the opencl platform via an option (otherwise it will use the default one = 0 , the first).
When you mix nvidia and amd cards, nvidia cards will probably be on opencl platform 0 and amd on the 1 (but it may depends on the system and on the order you plug the cards).

[tankthefrank]

Thanks ol92.  I'll start reading into opencl.  I'm running ethos and this is my first linux setup so I need to do some research on that.

If interested, I would trade you two brand new in sealed boxes, twp RX 580 Saphire Nitro + Special editions for the 1080 ti's.

[tankthefrank]

Update...I added only the GTX 960 to the 2 1080ti and set them up in slots 1, 3, 5, and it now shows up on the main screen (which is progress lol) but it's not Hashing anything.  The fans are running on it  and the other 2 cards work like before.  Is there some sort of start command for that one? My 1080tis always start on their own.
As for the trade offer, I'll pass.  lol  I will probably just get a 2nd rig going and make 1 all nvidia and 1 all amd.  Should  I set up 2nd rig on ethos or have 1 ethos and 1 simpleming (or anything else you guys could recommend).  I plan on adding more rx 580 and 1080ti cards as I find them in stores.


Just picked up 2 Sapphire Nitro+ RX 580 8GB cards and swapped them in for the 1080ti, and now all 4 AMD amd cards show up (slots 1, 3, 4, 6).  I think it's time to order parts to set up 2nd rig with 1080ti only.
Here's what I find funny.  The 2 new Sapphire cards are showing Samsung memory, and out of the box are hashing at 24.84 Mh/s each.  the other 2 RX 580 cards have unknown memory, and out of the box show 25.99 and 26.03 Mh/s.  I was thinking that the samsung memory would perform better out of the box, but I'm sure it'll be better once OC them.
Anyone try to get the Radeon Frontier Edition running on Ethos?  I have 1 card running in stand alone desktop mining in NiceHash at over 42 Mh/s without OC but I've read it may not work in Ethos.  Will probably try it out after work tomorrow and update this.
