i think now it's more about who hold more than who mine the most profitable coin, because many coins are increasing withotu a reason and by holding you can have a very high return, without considering what you are mining
You can do that without mining. That's investment not mining. That also works for all coins, so it's not applicable to AMD vs Nvidia.
A 580 makes more mining mainstream coins then a 1070 mining most niche coins (not mainstream). More then that, it makes 40% more if you mine mainstream coins. Why are there still people buying and continuing to saturate Nvidia hashrate on multiple algos? Do they not know how the game works?
Because AMD has no future with these cards. If you take ethereum away, AMD mines for shit. And the only reason we are in this situation is because nobody cared to adjust genoil's CUDA kernel for daggerhashimoto on latest Pascal cards with WDDM2.1.
If you take Ethereum away we're ALL FUCKED. There is so much hashrate (1.2m~ 580s) mining on Ethereum. If Ethereum goes away all of mining will crash and burn. Same can be said about SIA/DCR/PASC. There is no 'if Ethereum goes away teeheh', the hashrate doesnt' disappear. Just because something is suboptimal to mine by AMD doesn't mean it's not profitable (nor does that mean they'll stop when it's not profitable).
There is no 'taking those away'. Now if you're talking about the niche coins (which AMD also has), those are extremely easy to saturate and eventually end up earning as much as a baseline coin... Such as Ethereum+SIA for AMD or for Nvidia Equi... Errr now it's Eth+Sia for Nvidia as well. XD
Yeah, no I read your koolaid on CMB. There is no magic Dagger hash left in Nvidia cards. The cards were already updated for WDDM 1.2, that was fixed almost 10 months ago. Furthermore you can test that by simply using a older version of Windows (such as 8.1). Claymore has his own ground built up miner for Nvidia and it exhibits the same problems. Furthermore if this was a thing due to the visibility of Ethereum (Dagger), someone else would've done this and/or we would be hearing private things about this and it would sell for A LOT of money.
The bus is too small for Nvidia cards and/or the memory is too loose (such as with GDDR5X cards).
There is no magic headroom available in Nvidia cards for Ethereum. The cards are just built in such a way that doesn't cater to Dagger. They would be great at dual mining if someone made a better dual miner, but Claymore always updates his miner for Nvidia late. ASM changes for instance aren't available for Nvidia yet, which was a huge boost to AMD dual mining.
Of course. And 1080 should do more, at least 35. And 1080 Ti should do 50+. If you check 1080 Ti, you can see it reaches 35, but memload is only 75% and you cannot change that no matter OC. There is something seriously NOT adjusted for GDDR5X.
It is all about latency and I'm very doubt that you can mask it in software when we talk about dagger-hashimoto.
Polaris cards with stock bios are also showin < 100% mem load and poor performance until better timings resulting lower latency are applied. It is not software - but hardware feature.
Bugs aren't features. You know whenever you hear about that in video game development it's tongue and cheek sarcasm, right? Maybe it doesn't translate to euros.
