My 1080ti's are whaling on eth!
damn 9 cards are pulling in over 20 usd a day
this is the part where some will hesitate to buy cards and some are waiting to sell their cards..both will own cards later on  to those who hold on to their 1080ti's good for you all hehe meanwhile me adding another 2gb ddr2 to my 4gb ddr2 mining rigs got my eth hash to normal ~50mh instead of ~20mh lol. skip the rtx 2080/ti gen and their 8gb backwards design. save the money, be patient I think the 30xx series is a rightful upgrade. |

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

What's your OC settings Phil? I use +100/150 core with +600 Memory PL 190W no access but 5 core 105 memory 155 watts seems right |

What do you think about the 2060 or 2060 super ?
I know you mentioned waiting, BUT If you HAD to build something now, what would you use ?

what price would you pay i see them at 400 usd for a 2060 super i see amd 5700 xt at about 400 even 379 the amd is doing better then 50mhs and under 150 watts i don’t have a 2060 super so i have zero idea if it does 50mhs at 150 watts anybody know? i googled and found 36 to 42 at 125 watts so the amd 5700xt look better. |

One local place has the 2060 KO Ultra for 329.00.
They had a 2060 super for $369, but it looks like there is a mini-run on cards...out of stock again.
But it looks like the AMD kills it for the $$$

These threads remind me of the good old days...
Can you guys provide a list of what you are mining right now:
With AMD GPUs
With Nvidia GPUs

Is that Microcenter? Wish I had one close. Would pick off their open box GPU's. They had an MSI 2060 Super for that price at the one my brother shops at in May. These go on sale about once a month for $369.99. Nice if you can combine it with a coupon or eBay bucks. No games though like on Neweggs direct site right now. I have this and the 5700 variant. Love em but I don't really overclock and don't mind the no dual bios. https://www.ebay.com/itm/GIGABYTE-Radeon-RX-5700-XT-GAMING-OC-8G-Graphics-Card-PCIe-4-0-8GB-256-Bit-GDD/303275999144I have 2 of these on the way. Watched them for about a month before they came in stock last night and briefly tonight. https://www.newegg.com/asus-radeon-rx-5700-dual-rx5700-o8g-evo/p/N82E16814126348#I picked up a Zotach 1660 ti open box for $233 on a sale 2 weeks ago. AMD cards are mining eth Nividia ETH or Raven CPU's XMR |

I have three two card 1080ti rigs at a place with free power. i simply give 1/2 the coins to the guy letting me run them.
I build a lot of two card cased rigs because they are easy to stick into offices that need a space heater.
they also can become a gamer by pulling the smos usb stick out.
I have a four card 1080ti rig this is a true mining rig uses smos it is an eight card mobo with hard wired cpu.
I have a five card rig with 1080ti, 1080, 2x 1070, 1660 smos so that is 5 rigs and 15 cards on smos.
I have six monero rigs four with amd r 3900 two thread rippers. they have either amd 5500 or amd 5700
i think it is about 95000 hash for monero
and 300 mhs for eth.
so 11 rigs and i think 24 cards.

Nice
Yes it was microcenter, I grabbed a 2060 super for $369, soon after they all disappeared ...might pick up a few 5700 soon. I need to learn how to get and use stackable coupons at best buy !
Also, there used to be rebates for everything $20 mail in rebate, etc - those are all gone (at least at microcenter).

Hey everyone! Great to see Phil still running these threads and going strong!
Given the recent spike in ETH price, I decided to starting turning back on my rigs.
Of course, my 2 Nvidia rigs (w/1070ti's) were up and running perfectly in no time. Just downloaded Claymore v15, copied over my config file from 1 year ago (last time my miners were on lol) and bam! running amazingly smooth!
Now, the issue comes with my 4 AMD rigs, mostly running MSI RX 470's (4GB). If anyone here is still running those, you are probably aware that you can no longer have a 4GB GPU in port 0... either has to be bigger than 4GB or use Intel Integrated Graphics. Luckily on 1 rig i do have one 8GB Sapphire 470, so i swapped it over to port 0. I just used DDU to wipe previous drivers, and now am at the stage of installing new drivers.
My question is, what are the last good AMD drivers available to run 470 rigs? Looks like the last ones i was using were 18.3 or so. Most current appears to be 20.4.2 but was wondering if anyone has used those successfully, or if slightly older versions might be better.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Opinion:
5600 xt vs 5700 xt
I know we are dealing with: availability / price / power consumption / units per machine (space) / what else ?

Check out the phoenix miner thread. I think they posted drivers that work best on page 1 for 4gb. There was another thread by the simple mining OS dev discussing 4gb cards and a solution till late this year. |

I would do smos for all four rigs. cost is eight bucks a month for the four rigs. you should get aug sept oct nov. easy peasy. cost of 32 bucks. way cheaper then buying 3 cards. and you only need pay eight bucks at a time. as for 5600 vs 5700. price is king and of course time is money . so cheap and in stock helps. |

thanks for the tips on getting my 4GB rigs up and running again, i really appreciate them!
I tried installing 20.4.2 drivers on the rig with the one 8GB GPU and seemed to go fine (all 6 GPUs recognized in Dev Mgr) but when i started Claymore 15, I only got about 50% hashrate on GPU-0 and nothing on the others. Was getting a notification the the miner was being blocked from accessing graphics hardware. So, decided to give up on that one for a bit as it is too hot to turn on all 6 of my rigs anyway.
So, I went to another rig with 6x RX 470's all 4GB. Went into BIOS and switched display to onboard graphics, then unplugged my monitor from the 470 and plugged it into the MB. Display showed up no problem. I then downloaded Phoenix miner 5.0e, changed the config to my pool and wallet and launched miner. Took a few minutes to get DAGs assigned but now it's been running perfectly for about 2 hours at the same speeds it was about a year ago. And the best part? I didn't even have to update the drivers, which for AMD cards is still a freaking PITA!
So, based on these results I will likely move all for AMD rigs over to Phoenix miner. I do like the look of the SMOS Phil mentioned, but if this method works on my other 3 rigs, I will likely stay with it to avoid the extra cost and time. If I was starting from scratch though that definitely looks like a cool way to manage rigs!

A few weeks ago, I have started to revive and dusted off my old GPUs from the storeroom.... 13 x 1080tis, 6 x 1070ti and a few dozen 480s,470s and 1060/P106-100 ..... put them all to work under SMOS and Phoenixminer. USB Linux SMOS for fast deployment under 1 dashboard. Phoenixminer for ETH mining with lowest dev fee (compared to Claymore). Highest density using K35 motherboards with 8 x PCI slots and Delta 2400w PSUs. Since, everyone will be furiously mining ETH till POS.... I decided to do otherwise and point every ounce of hash and sell it to Nicehash, in exchange for BTC instead. I expect "crazy pricing" at Nicehash soon since they are crazies out there that would pay crazy rental prices at NH and MRR, especially for last few months of ETH POW. All my GPU gear are ex 2016 and paid for several folds, so I guess this revival project will be the last hurray for these GPUs. As for offsite hosting... I had to shutdown my 1ph SHA256 farm (33 x 30THs ASICs) but retained DCR and FPGA hosted mining to save on power bills. If BTC 20k.... even the 30Ths ASICs will make money and can be revived. Good luck to us all! thanks for the tips on getting my 4GB rigs up and running again, i really appreciate them!
