Riding the Crypto wave

[FireFox]

I only run msi afterburner and no other tweak tool. I only use Palit's software when I want to change the led color.

So you are saying that maybe precision + MSI could be the reason?

I have both software on my Gaming Machine and that never happened, it happens just on my Mining Machine

Yup. Most likely. The programs might be fighting over control of your cards. You might have different settings with those apps as well (ie: overclock, power limit and fan profiles.)You're lucky you only have a downclock. There was this one time I forgot to close the Palit app and the PC just crashed on me and I wasn't home to run everything again.

But why it's happening just in the mining Machine?

Even if i am using just MSI to tweak the card and precision it is not doing nothing?

I will uninstall precision to see what happen but i suspect that maybe the downclock is because the card doesn't support +600 memory.

It's likely exactly that, one of my 1060s is an asus expedition ,it has microm not samsung memory and it does the same, i had them synced but not now, they're individually clocked.

I don't get what you mean.

 

[TheoneandonlyMrK]

The overclocks were synced , same clocks like most oc software does anyway , my asus dual oc has samsung memory and clocks higher than the expedition with micron memory.

And how did you do to get it individually

 

[TheoneandonlyMrK]

And how did you do to get it individually

In settings i un-tick syncronise clocks , Afterburner specifically has this ,then save a profile per card , i don't think it saves different values for different cards in one profile thats why i save a profile per card , i clearly should have got all dual oc versions.

Maybe you mean: Synchronize settings for similar graphics processors?

I am on a mobile and away from the pc dude go easy

 

[FireFox]

Yeap but it says similar graphics processors, doesn't that means similar cards?

 

[TheoneandonlyMrK]

Yeah and it did used to treat a 5870 and 5850 as the same (a while ago) so might be doing the same thing with a 1070 and 1080 in the same system.
I think similar means similar to it yes.
Obviously they can have different memory , timings ,all sorts that stop overclocks at different frequencies as well as binning qualities.

 

[FireFox]

so might be doing the same thing with a 1070 and 1080 in the same system.

I never said it was a 1080 and 1070
1070 and 1060 and the one that downclock is the 1070

I have done as you suggested.

Evga precision uninstalled.

Now let's see if if it doesn't downclock.

 

[verycharbroiled]

then save a profile per card , i don't think it [afterburner] saves different values for different cards in one profile thats why i save a profile per card

yeah seems you need to save a profile for each card. cards other than the one selected dont get saved.

screwed me up till i figured this out. im sure that info is in a readme somewhere but who reads those?

Seems like my order was just pushed back. I contacted Dell ages ago while waiting, and they said it would ship on the 3rd. When I check my order status, I see it still hasn't shipped, my expected delivery date has been pushed back to the 18th, and if I look up the card I bought, it says the ship date is the 25th.

Same

I got half a mind to apply for credit elsewhere (newegg?) and try them. No idea what credit limit I would have though, and I really don't want another consumer credit account. Maybe it'd be best just to be patient with Dell. :/

The downclock issue is solved but know i have another problem, finally yesterday the risers arrived and i installed the four GPU's but the system just reconize 3 cards i spent 8 hours trying to make it work but i didn't get it, any ideas?

update the mobo bios to newest and enable 4g encoding in the bios and set PCI-E speed to gen 1 or gen 2, the 4g encoding is the main thing though.

If that doesnt work, you might have bad risers or just switch them around a little. Sometimes you will have 6 hooked up and only 5 will mine. Switching the risers around on the mobo sometimes solves that problem. Its why when you want to mine on 6 gpu, you should order 7 or 8 in case of failures with these risers. They are been made so fast that I would think that today they would have a higher defect rate than say 6 months ago.

update the mobo bios to newest

That's the first thing i do when i get a new board.

It is not Bios.

enable 4g encoding in the bios

Done that already.

set PCI-E speed to gen 1 or gen 2,

I have to try that, haven't done it yet.

you might have bad risers

I thought the same but i tested it on my main Machine and it works.

just switch them around a little.

I did that.

Maybe what they suggest here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1917749.0
could solve the problem

I was looking for a reasonably priced 1070 or 1060 to add to my rig, but there are none to be found in the UK best I can see is 1-3 weeks estimated in stock

I'm not really regretting selling my 1060 6 GB, especially since prices in local retailers (Vietnam) have spiked by up to 50%!

Why UK if you live in Vietnam, and what do you mean by reasonable price?

so ive been tweaking and my 480/580s do 30mhs for 120watts , why thats not bad at all, also upto about 150mhs now with three amd and three nvidias (@125watts atm)70 from team green 90 from the red camp ,damn british summer though, its gettin hot in here.

Is that measuring at the wall or in GPUz?
