i've been having issues with the monitor sometimes not receiving signal after being turned off for a while. i discovered that turning it off and then back on again usually fixed it (the computer wasn't hung, i could still remote into it). i thought it was maybe the displayport on the monitor going bad.
over thanksgiving something happened and the computer crashed. restarted it, started mining, came back a few minutes later to the fans at 100% and the computer not-responsive. cycled the power and nothing came up. no bios screen or anything. swapped to hdmi, still didn't come on. remoted in and it was stuck at 800x600 instead of 4k like usual.
so, out went one hawaii and in went another (thought the second was faulty so it's been laying around a while). still no signal. thought maybe i'd try swapping pci-e slots, but poked around on the internet and saw that some people had no signal due to power issues. swapped from one set of pci-e cables to another, and a different port on the power supply, and walla, signal.
however, now its mining at 12 mh/s instead of ~28. still pulling down ~200 watts from the wall to do so. clocks look right in the amd control panel. obv, i'm not about to spend 200 watts for 12 mh/s.
i've got a new power supply on the way already (seasonic focus plus), any thoughts as to other steps i might take?
what does the dummy plug do? i've got a monitor connected by displayport.Get into safe mode and run Display Driver Uninstaller, remove all related video card drivers and start over. Add in one card at a time. Ensure your primary display device is set correctly in the BIOS. Pick up an HDMI dummy plug if you don't already have one and plug it into your primary card.

I am so glad newegg doesn't let you return video cards like Amazon does. Means I won't get a mining card that was returned.
hasn't been an issue before. it's not the remoting in that i'm worried about. it's the 12 mh/s when mining and whether i'm burning up cards.AFAIK you don't need dummy plugs for Geforce cards, just Radeons. They act a display and can give you up to 4K resolution when remoting in with things like Team Viewer. I find they're more reliable than relying on a powered off monitor hooked up to your primary card (not sure the exact reason for this, just my experience).

thanks, i'll try that.I had a similar issue with the low hash rates on one of my 6x480 rigs. Reinstalling the drivers helped. I also set all voltages, fan speeds in Claymore's batch file instead of using MSI Afterburner.

Make that 11K. ETH is almost at $500 too...BTC over $10k?! Jeebus!
I've got a 1080 in my primary gaming rig that's mostly fine, it's probably not as worth it to actually buy though for pure mining, I got it for gaming and just kicked off my mining adventures on it (using nicehash). Got 5x 1080ti's as well crunching in my basement, mostly went with those because I had a 20amp circuit to play with and needed density (only one circuit down there to play with, and too much heat for the rest of the home). Those are doing quite well too, but the efficiency and cost per card are probably not in favor of it, if you have the option of going all vega's or all 580's or something.My 4th Vega arrived today Went to buy another one and was life WTFBBQ! (shot up another $200 in a week). At these prices I was thinking of building a dedicated Geforce rig for ZEC mining. Anyone know how the new 1070 Ti's work compared to the regular 1070's? Are 1080's still garbage or are there new algorithms that make them profitable? Are 1080 Ti's still good miners but not worth the price unless doubled as a gaming card?

The other factor for my decision was also resale, there's going to be a glut of cards at some point, and the 1080ti's will carry their value at least a little bit better than the $80 480/580's when everything collapses

I think that's just profit taking, could easily rebound in a week or a month. Although I do wonder where it's going to end up in the end.Not anymore . . . ugh.
At least we're getting close to FFG going onto the testnet.

Anybody have any experience using the Armory wallet for bitcoin?
