curious what you pad for the NV cards used? Also I though 1080 was bad for mining due to G5X latencies or is that only for eth?I also built myself a NV comp for mining. 2x1070 +1080 all on powered risers on a cheapo AMD board. Bought the cards used.
1080 is doing fine for me, see above post. Expecting the same out of the TI's I just bought.curious what you pad for the NV cards used? Also I though 1080 was bad for mining due to G5X latencies or is that only for eth?
Looking at expanding my operation (8- rx480s, 1-290, 1 fury x) but obviously Polaris is impossible to find at msrp in reference form right now
I'll take a look.Also, don't waste your time with ethminer. Try Claymore's dual miner or Genoil's fork of ethminer.

Both work, though Claymore has put a lot more work into his miner as of late. Genoil's fork is about a year old.
I would recommend against Ethereum as Tahitis are no longer very good at it. You would be better off mining for ZEC and then selling it for ETH.
It's just binaries, unzip and run. However, you will need to modify start.bat, epools.txt and I think config.txt? dpools configuration file too if you dual mine.I'll take a look.
Does the claymore miner link have install instructions? I'm a complete newb when it come to this stuff.
Nothing wrong except for power consumption. Tahiti is extremely power hungry unless you undervolt/underclock it compared to polaris.What's the problem with Tahiti's? Same basic layout as the 470/570, clock speeds a bit slower (1170 for mine) and the Tahiti front end isn't as advanced as Polaris. I thought these things mostly run on the SPs and last I saw they were all returning low to mid 20MH/s.

my 7970 only got 13-14mh on eth these days so I shut er downDo your 7970s still get 20MH/s? My 7990 is only getting 25.5MH/s right now, which is down considerably from last summer.
The Tahitis have a peculiar issue with ETH where as more of it was mined, this family of cards kept on losing hash rate. I remember when it was in early 2016 that a 7970 could do 20+ but as of now, they're closer to 12-13. At this low of a hash rate and with their power consumption, mining ETH directly isn't a good option.What's the problem with Tahiti's?

I think it has to do with the 3GB of vram.The Tahitis have a peculiar issue with ETH where as more of it was mined, this family of cards kept on losing hash rate.

For a beginner like me, one told me avoid Eth because they reached EOL, instead I went Zcash.Wrong move? I see Network difficulty went to crazy high! Please advice me.
If I do mining ETH, can I keep it for next year (or sell it on next year)?
What does EOL mean?
Consult whattomine.com - that will give you a good idea of what is profitable for your card.
I see ethereum has dropped recently. I'm not worried, in fact I hope it leads to lower difficulty. I want to mine a lot of eth before it inevitably goes back up.
When Vega comes out, I think I'll buy one and mine using Vega and my RX480 at the same time. I won't run crossfire, just dual graphics for mining.
I have 10 290x amongst my ethos rigs, Sapphire reference and Gigabyte Windforce. The Sapphire reference cards average about 25 Mh/s and the Gigabytes get about 26 Mh/s. What's the best settings/methods/clocks to achieve the highest Hashrate possible with these cards?

This is Friday and it just looks like some people are selling a bit to lock in profits. It doesn't look like much downward pressure, unless a big market manipulator decides to change the trend...
Is it possible to underclock and/or undervolt Rx400/500 series cards for mining via software (AMD's own utility) or can it only be done via a BIOS mod?
