Vega/Navi Rumors (Updated)

That extra 80W makes a difference if you are constrained by your PSU or thermals. ITX builds are pretty popular nowadays and tend to be limited by thermals and PSU choice. I could get away with an 1080ti and a 450W PSU in a mini-ITX NCASE M1 build, but I doubt Vega in its current condition...

Ethereum GPU mining?

It depends of the algorithm used for mining and the video card vendor. Mining ethash on NVIDIA cards render them unusable, but there is no user experience degradation on the desktop side when mining ethash on AMD.cards. Mining equihash seems to have no impact (beside gaming) on NVIDIA cards. I...

Ethereum GPU mining?

ETH crashing helps with the trades. I made 3 ETH trading back and forth between ETH and LTC last week, but my ETH portfolio took a massive dive in value. Trading is just too stressful. I rather just plug all my cards and mine away.

100,000 ETH @ 10c? Is that some kind of blunder or was there some kind of market manipulation?

Ethereum GPU mining?

I think I started to mine over a year ago with a 7990 to finance my next video card purchase. At the time, I didnt think it was worth keeping the lights on for such low returns, and I was more than happy to be able to sell my old 7990 for 500+. What a mistake, and here we are....

[WCCFTech] Nvidia mining only cards on the way

You can take a look at the price of gold, or a commodity like oil in the past 30+ years. The price of a barrel of oil keeps increasing over time because the value of the dollar just keeps decreasing. There are other factors in play such as speculation. but the dollar has been losing its value...

I would just recommend nicehash if you want to play with other algorithms. I know they take a 3% cut, but it saves you the hassle to look for mining software specific to a currency, a mining pool or time spent trying to trade odd coins on an exchange. Nicehash does all the leg work and pay you...

Ethereum GPU mining?

The motherboards are Gigabyte Z170 Designare. G1 Gaming or Asrock Z170 K6 Gaming. I know everyone and their mother recommends the BTC motherboards or the ASUS Prime Z270-A, but those boards cost quite a bit and running 6+ GPU per rig requires some really beefy PSU when you can get away with a 80...

The bottom rig runs 5 PowerColorRX 580 Red Devil Golden Sample for 650W. Those are by far the quietest and coolest running cards of all the RX cards I have had. The top rig runs 5 ASUS RX 580 ROG for 700W. The heatsink on the ASUS allows for better air flow from the top of the card. You can...

I added two extra rigs for another 300 Mh/s and 1350W. This set up looks inconspicuous enough to sit in the living room. In the winter time, it'll turn out to be a fancy heater.

Ethereum GPU mining?

Is dual mining worth it for you? The extra income you get from the secondary mined coin seems marginal when you account for the extra 30% power usage, heat generated and stress dual mining puts on your system. You also have to account for the dev fee which jumps from 1% to 2% when dual mining.

Ethereum GPU mining?

The first few RX580 I flashed gave me 30+Mh/s but would go unstable after a few days of running. I had their VRAM (Samsung) overclocked to 2150+MHz. With AMD cards, you can check for memory errors with HWNFO64. I dialed all my cards down to 2075MHz just to be safe. All cards sit between...

Ethereum GPU mining?

I have a fairly good sample of RX 580 cards ranging from ASUS, MSI, PowerColor, Sapphire and none of them were able to reach some of the ridiculous speeds people have been posting online (30+ Mh/s)). The most I could do was 29 Mh/s with a memory timing mod, a slight VRAM overclock and CORE...
