Ground floor on this loving awful thread.

I was planning on upgrading to a 1070 anyways (I have a 2k monitor @60hz, so that would push ultra pretty easy); is there one that is better than the others for this?

I got a GTX1070 a while ago to replace my GTX970. I put the 970 in my wife's computer so I'm running NiceHash on both machines while we aren't using them. I just started but it looks like the 1070 is way way faster than the 970. Maybe even to the point where the 970 isn't even worth it.

Edit: Okay now they switched to something called Blake2 and the 970 is making more than the 1070. I'm glad I don't have to ever think about this again.

The 1070's power efficiency on top of its speed make it way, way better than any 900 series card.

Also ethereum took a nut shot to its value and it keeps dropping. I think I'm going to stop mining it in a couple weeks/days since the profit is just too low now. It was a good run !

Unlesss... maybe I should hold until it becomes as valuable as bitcoin!

I haven't seen Nicehash mine ETH once all weekend.

1070 making $3.30/day @123w (70% power target), my power is 12 cents per kWh.

So let's run the numbers.

(123w) (24 hours)= 2.952kW (0.12USD) equals 35.42 cents a day for power unless my numbers are wrong.

$3.30>$0.35 last I checked so yeah, I'll keep taking free money from nerds at the massive energy cost of $10.50 a month for a $99 payout.

poo poo, even if it goes down to a dollar a day that's still worth it since it's literally zero effort on my end since it automatically mines when my computer is idle.

but I guess I should be angry at this because raisins

Are you running AC? Because inflate your power bill by 50% immediately if you are FYI. Power draw on the card is not going to be what is pulled at the plug. You have other components that need to be powered so you likely have another 20-40W for an idle CPU, memory, and motherboard. Then another 10-20% overhead from losses in the power supply.

Good point, didn't consider the rest of the computer; the heat output seems negligible (I've got an EcoBee thermostat so I'm keeping track of the house temperature there).

I've got an EVGA GTX1070 FTW, what -if any- are the risks to overclocking memory on a 1070? What is a decent target? I've been arbitrarily sitting at +500mHz while at a 70% power target and underclocking the GPU 200mHz to decent effect.

Currently mining butts on a 1080 and my 970 (PHYSX card, probably even more stupid than butt mining). Should I add in my other 970 from when I was running 970 SLI? Could probably net me 2 whole dollars more/day.

Also, ask me about my stupid decision making though process.

I'd double check the amount of power you're using, I remember the 900 series being pretty power hungry for the performance you get.

Christ, how long is he looking at getting his money back with that? I've been getting between 1.60-2.00 daily with my 1070 (power is cheap here) at ~30mh/s.

A gigahash would be what, $66 a day, call it $60 after power. So $1,800 a month. He's looking at a fuckload of time to make the money back and not accounting for difficulty increases OR Volta coming out and crushing Vega.

Even if the rest of your system was 500w, you'd still come out ahead (I mean until this shitshow inevitably crashes) making more than twice what you spend in electricity (you may want to consider if you're spending on cooling if you're in a hot place though).

To the dude asking about mining a couple posts up: I have a 1070 and your exact processor; I run both since the computer is on anyways the CPU is going to be drawing power. May as well snag the 0.25 a day mining with it.

I have seven cent per kWh power though, so YMMV.
