Phil,
I picked up a 5600 (the deal you linked to on Newegg), to play with to see if I want to get more.
Did you update your BIOS or just run them like they came? (I didn't see where a BIOS was available for this particular SKU)
I tried it on HiveOS and it would only hash at 13MH @45W. Kinda weird. Threw it on a Win10 rig and got around 40MH. Not sure about power usage since HWiNFO is reporting about 90W, but Awesome Miner (AM) is showing around 115W. Not sure which is right... This is using the settings you recommended.
Might try putting it on a SMOS rig next to see what I get. I'm mostly running Ubuntu 20.04 on my rigs and controlling them from AM. I purchased a 20 rig license back in 2017 before Patrick went monthly fee per rig like everyone else.
Almost scored a 3080 yesterday. Had it in my cart at nvidia.com, but when I got my payment info entered and submitted, I got an error that my address could not be left blank. (it was not blank) I guess server issues. Will keep F5'ing over the weekend and into early next week, and then turn my attention to the 3090 if I don't score by then. lol
ps. Still on the fence about selling my GTX 1000 GPUs. Made almost $160 with them yesterday...
Here is a video about Rx 5600 XT from Bits be trippin', he gets to 43.3mh @ 85w without BIOS mod, he also posted a config for SMOS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MghxzsrDFJ4&t=213s |

Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

Which is even better than E3 with 190MH/s at 700-800 W. I didn't even know they were that good tbh. Might be worth going back to GPU mining after I left it in 2018. |

You have to use one of the three beta images for Navi GPU's on HiveOS . |

I decided to pickup some Sapphire Pulse 5700XT's -- anyone have any recommended settings for them?
I almost went with the 5600XT's that Phil suggested here but I couldn't get them in the quantity I wanted and thought might be a better play long term to spend a little more.

I could not find a decent deal for the sapphires. I got the 5600xt for 240 with six months to pay. I know the dag could screw me as these are 6gb cards. the sapphire was 390 with six months to pay |

This will only work if ETH's TPS is increased leading to higher cumulative fees (not higher GAS prices) and make the total block reward about the same. |

Maybe miners should form a union and go on strike for higher pay.  |

Well if they do it and blocks drop to 0.5 coins it will shake things up a lot. It would hurt gpu miners big time. Eth developers are basically morons if they crush the gpu card buyers. But they did do it once so they could do it again. Time will tell. When is it due Nov or Dec? |

75%...well i am optimist and i think mining always finds a way. Unless you have a bunch of Polaris/older cards...that might be difficult going forward. On another note, I have one 5700/xt that indicates 117w gpuz/ 135w wall and another brand that indicates 83w gpuz but is 130w from the wall....I thought that was kind of weird, dont remember seeing that with another gpu type

The reason why they want to perform this reduction is because they know it won't affect security because right now ETHUSD is higher than say $80 bottom AND there is more per block in terms of fees, hence its much more profitable to mine.
So if they decrease the miner rewards they are pretty sure they will still have people mining it like they did when it traded at $80 per coin. However I wouldn't worry just yet, the EIP might not pass, but you never know. Generally they are always late on updates so even if its included in an upgrade it might take a while before it actually goes live.

I don't know enough to know if EIP-2878 has a chance to pass or not but even if it was 6 months out it would kill any incentive to buy new cards. Right now a $350 RX 5700 is 262 days to break even so you will never make your money back. A 75% reduction in earnings equates to a 10 cent a day profit, lol. https://whattomine.com/coins/151-eth-ethash?hr=55.0&p=123.0&fee=0.0&cost=0.1&hcost=350.0&commit=Calculate75% reduction: https://whattomine.com/coins/151-eth-ethash?hr=13.75&p=123.0&fee=0.0&cost=0.1&hcost=350.0&commit=Calculate |

What do Nvidia miners mine at this point? I guess ETH is not as profitable as others.
I am interested in mining with few 2080 S and I am not sure if I should just make it easy for me and go Nicehash or look the other way and go with (more profitable?) Gminer/T-rex for RVN?

I used to search the best coins to mine, best app miners, best time to exchange the coins, of course I had a lot of cards in the past, but now I only have 1 rig, and mining with Nicehash, it's so easy and free of problems that I regret not to use before It's more stable, I don't care about changing coins, I only do an withdraw every week and hold in BTC Pointing to nicehash is the best decision IMO if you're in doubt |

(it was not blank) I guess server issues. Will keep F5'ing over the weekend and into early next week, and then turn my attention to the 3090 if I don't score by then. lol
ps. Still on the fence about selling my GTX 1000 GPUs. Made almost $160 with them yesterday...
they do 39-41 on smos. 85 watts on smos but more at the wall. yeah tough to sell all your 1080ti's. but putting some up for sale could work. I think 3 for 900. should sell fast on marketplace. It can't hurt to list 3 that way. I am having a network issue a lot of my smos rigs went down. but I have optimum and Verizon at the farm. So I am driving up there to move the 10 gpu rigs to optimum . there are 75 asics on the Verizon and now 10 smos I think I want all smos on the optimum You should get a router or firewall that will work with redundant connections. One goes down and it will fail over. You could add a switch that lets you remotely change which isp the machine is connected to. |
