Ethereum GPU mining?

Yeah, it's not hard to set up, and easy to switch between miners once you have things configured. Nicehash will automatically handle any pool switching it calculates is worth doing. With Phoenix, you can switch pools easily too if you want to but if you're mining the same coin there's likely...

Ethereum GPU mining?

Ah, good to know. I figured they must have implemented that long ago by now. Guess I should have checked.

Ethereum GPU mining?

1. Nicehash is pretty unique when it comes to mining clients. It can automatically mine whichever coin is the most profitable at the moment for your hardware, and automatically switch to mining something else if relative profitability changes. I believe you set it for whichever currency you...

Ethereum GPU mining?

Pretty good efficiency. Between 3 rigs and my desktop, I'm doing 740 MH for 2200W in total. But if I turned off my less-efficient 1060 rig, I would be doing 620 MH for 1600 W, so roughly on par using 2 year old Radeon VIIs. Especially given that the one in my desktop is overclocked rather than...

Ethereum GPU mining?

I've kept my VII's mining the whole time. I was barely above breaking even at the lowest point, but at my rate of around 8 cents/kWh and with the cards tuned for efficiency it's never made sense to power them down since the Radeon VII launched.

Ethereum GPU mining?

That's a little more price efficient than a Radeon VII if looking at MSRP for both, but not likely to be any more energy efficient (it might even be worse) considering how much of a power hog Ampere is. The energy efficiency of RDNA2, as exemplified by the upcoming consoles, is likely what...

Correct, it's going to be a slow, stepwise process. But being about to take the first step is undoubtedly the main reason for the current price rally.

Ethereum is planning to launch staking on the mainnet in a month unless any new critical bugs arise on the testnet. Imminent staking for passive income is providing a lot of upward price pressure right now.

I can offer some Radeon VII hashrate specs. My main desktop with a watercooled Radeon VII does the following ETH hashrates at the following core clocks and power draw above idle: 800 MHz, 39 MH/s, 84W 1300 MHz, 63 MH/s, 147W 1600 MHz, 78 MH/s, 210W 1900 MHz, 91 MH/s. 283W I also have a rig in...

No, unfortunately I don't have a multimeter.

Question "Ryzen Burnout? AMD Board Power Cheats May Shorten CPU Lifespan" - Tom's

Just tested my setup (in sig) with everything at default BIOS settings (9/9/2019 BIOS). It stayed right around 31% deviation the entire time running Prime95 blend for 45 minutes. Looks like the Asrock Taichi X570 is guilty of juicing the CPU. I don't know how much power the CPU specifically...

Radeon™ Software Adrenalin 2020 Edition 20.5.1 (WHQL June 10)

Yep, we both have our cards water cooled. On previous drivers that trick didn't work for me, so I didn't think to try it again on these latest drivers. I may give it a try again later, thanks for reminding me.

Radeon™ Software Adrenalin 2020 Edition 20.5.1 (WHQL June 10)

Thanks for all the confirmation. Do you have to do any registry/power play table modification, or is OverdriveNTool alone all it takes?

Radeon VII Viable Now?

Yes, the stock voltage for this card (from Gigabyte) was 1092 mV. I can't quite run it at the stock 1801 MHz at an even 1 volt - needs to be just a touch higher. But I'm happy running it at 1950 MHz and 1081 mV.

Radeon VII Viable Now?

Mine wouldn't do -100 mV at stock clocks, but it does -85 stably. Since I have it on water though, I prefer to do a smaller undervolt combined with an overclock to both the core and memory.
