AMD 100% is the best choice right now if you exclude the shortages. If you can get your hands on 580s for less then $300 or even $400 they're worth buying. They use the same amount of energy as a 1070 (give or take), and you can mine mainstream coins with them to get decent revenue.

While $300 is indeed a good price for 480/580 8gb cards, I see no point buying them for $400. That's a GTX 1070 price, and I think it's just a better card overall. Better in gaming, and better in most mining algos. I mostly have 1060s and 1080s in my nvidia rigs, but just yesterday added a 1070 to one of them. Without much tinkering, it's mining ETH at 31 MH/s (+700 MHz Micron memory) @ ~110W, so pretty much on par with Polaris. It's a lot faster on Equihash though (~450 sol vs 300 sol). Slower in cryptonight (no one is mining it with GPUs now, but still it's a mainstream algo so should be mentioned). And while there are of course niche algorithms that run faster on amd cards, for the past year or so nvidia did have more of those. Lbry, Lyra, Skein, Neoscrypt - those are just what came to mind instantly. I can't recall anything like those for AMDs at the moment (they most likely exist, I just don't know or don't remember any).

I'm not a fan of anything and don't care about brands at all, but when presented with a choice between amd 580 or nvidia 1070 for the same price — I'd definitely get the nvidia. Simply because it's a more powerful gpu overall.

I agree with wacko. 1070 is just great. You must be retarded(I'm using the same words...) if You pay 1070 price for any AMD.
1060 6gb is also ok with 25+ Mh eth and probably a good resell value.
1080 is just too slow on eth to be worth buying but still very good on many other algos.

The 1060 6gb cannot do 25mhash ethereu.. Stock clocks aound 15-18mhash. With oc 18,20 or 22. Depends on the memory type.
Hynix is slowest, then micron and samsung is the fastest.

They use the same amount of energy as a 1070 (give or take), and you can mine mainstream coins with them to get decent revenue. With Nvidia you have to mine niche coins which are easily saturated or you make like 30% less with a 1070 vs a 580 (Equihash vs Eth+Sia). AMD also has niche coins, which you can also find that Nvidia is bad at.

Mainstream coins offer stability and safeguards against your revenue dropping out from under you, either due to a big miner hoping on it, buy support disappearing, or the market just outright crashing. There is absolutely no reason to buy Nvidia. You offer absolutely no points to back up your argument besides 'Nvidia best4evar'. I mean I want to feel good about the $10k worth of hardware I bought too, but that's not the way reality works.

current generation of polaris cards (rx470, rx480, rx570, rx580) has this tlb trashing bug again with epoch from current and higher loosing half of hashrate on epoch 199.
It is observed with claymore miner with current drivers. Dunno if it can be fixed. So if nothing will change you will be sticked to low epoch dagger-hashimoto coins just like with Tahiti cards.

AAAND was this tested on Nvidia?
750ti had even nastier TLb thrashing under Windows which was NEVER fixed, though admitted to be driver-bug by NV
What i is current epoch btw?

What i is current epoch btw?

gtx1070 practically not effected, 0.2mhs loss on epoch 199. Current epoch can be seen launching claymore miner or pressing s while mining.
Hawaii cards effected not much, 2mhs loss on epoch 199

PS. speaking about 100x, pallas is currently sitting on something very interesting.

XCN? If polo or bittrex list it again, we can se a spike in the price..

...and 100 days later it is 100x against btc and 250x against usd.

$400 invested in a gpu 100 days ago 100 x $8= $800
$400 invested in xcn $400 x 250 = $100,000

Butbutbut you can always sell that gpu to gamers...

hmm I sold 20 000 000 Verge @ 3 satoshi 1 year ago.

I saw it peaked at 200 + a few days ago..

Now trading @ 145 satoshi.  Around +5000%

Crypto histories, we never know what is gonna happen.

Even if you held such amount of this altcoin, you just couldn't sell / dump all this into exchanges, there would be not enough buying orders to you, a trade bot would be applicable.

But after the recent increase in the altcoinprices we have many new crypto millionaires. (cryptos)

Cheers to the #cryptos

Thanks for the LBRY mod

I am getting 290+mh/s on yiimp and suprnova, but only 240 on coinmine.pl?

how come on coinmine it wont go past the base core clock (1582mhz)?

[Slava_K]

For coinmine it is normal. Its stratum bugs.

How big is the difference between 3Gb and 6GB versions?
Is it worth to buy (say) 6GB for 250 euro, instead of 3Gb for 200e ?

that's why it's better to hold everything, and risk to lose on 99 coin, but then get 5000% return on a single one

no sense to buy if you have a big farm running already that hit roi multiple times

your comparison doesn't make much sense

you pay those xcn the cost of your electricity which is far lower than buying on market with bitcoin

[humpi]

Can anyone explain why my TDP% is only around 40%. Then once in a while it will jump up to 80% for a about 10-30s? Then comes back down to 40?

Shouldn't this stay consistent during mining?



Thank you

Hahahaha, no sense to buy. If and but and then some more buts and ifs... southern mathematics.

Miner is always late. Always.

well almost everyone here have 10 rig right? everyone here already roi'ed with his rig, minus newcomers which doesn't matter

i'll make an example, when xcn was at 20 satoshi, with 10 rig you could have mined 1 million a day, instead of buying the same amount for 0.2 btc or $500

i would have paid only 1 day of electricity to mine that 1 million...which is basically free coins

Bad trolling, sorry about that. But your math still sucks. And your example sucks even more and you know that ))

Here's the full quote:

nah too old, and it's better to buy price is almost dead, you can buy 1M with 0.08 or less

So you didn't buy? ))

To be more on topic, how is your xcn hashrate poolside? 1070 should do at least 15-16MH but can you see that on pool?

xevan support will be?

It doesn't matter what's a 'better card' as far as pricing or how they're marketed. A 1070 is actually worse then a 580 for mining. Look at how much you're making with Equihash, then look at how much you're making with Eth+Sia. Eth+SIA/DCR/PASC are much much more stable then equihash is due to market size, volume, and difficulty. A 580 is not only worth more then $400, it's a better deal even at that price then a 1070 as a 1070 can't compete anywhere. A 1070 is a inferior card unless you find a niche coin to mine (which AMD also has). Niche coins don't even factor into a comparison as they're easily saturated, the markets tend to crash, and they generally they don't last long.

If you're worth your salt as a miner you should be dual mining (which you aren't doing). You'll notice that you're making quite a bit less with a 1070 compared to a 580 due to the assembly changes Claymore added, which aren't present for Nvidia and no one is making (IE a better dual miner I mentioned before).

A 1070 is ONLY a more powerful GPU when you consider how they're presented originally and the markets they fulfill outside of mining.

I'm almost 100% sure this is fixed with GCN 2 and higher cards. I have not seen this with Claymore miner on my AMD rigs, they're still mining at pretty much exactly what they were when they first came out. If you're getting subpar hashrate either your memory speed is lower, you have bad type of memory, or you haven't tweaked your latency properly. Hawaii is GCN 3, Polaris is GCN 4.

If it isn't fixed, do you have a source besides 'you can see it with claymore now' which isn't observable?

[wacko]

If you're worth your salt as a miner you should be dual mining (which you aren't doing).

Lol. Dual mining is not always the best way to go. You're pushing your personal opinion like it's a fact — just the same way you're doing it with your "polaris are better cards than gtx 1070". It's not as black and white as you're trying to paint it. Ideally we'd all have our own warehouses with virtually unlimited power and cooling, and then sure — dual mining it is. But in the real world (where most miners live, including the ones that are "worth their salt"), there's always a power limit. For me, there's a couple locations I can put my rigs in "for free", but when I run out of space/power in those — I can only rent apartments and put new rigs there. Renting is the cheapest way to add more rigs in my area, but it's still quite an expense. Cards are a lot hotter and louder in dual mining, consuming significantly more power, and it's just not worth it for me. I can run ~60 cards in dual mining and hit my power limit per location, or I can run ~80-90 cards in ETH only mining, hitting the same power limit in the same location.. the 2nd scenario results in more btc/day. I'd rather invest in extra GPUs and run them in ETH only than dual mine — more profitable in my case, especially at the current crazy high crypto exchange rates.
