    MSI GeForce GT 1030 DirectX 12

    What Dr4g00n and I are trying to tell you is to put whatever amount of money you desire to spend on the single most powerful (PPD/W or PPD/$ wise, whichever you chose to put first) gpu you can get you hands on. Assuming constant ppd, no multi-gpu setup will ever be as efficient as a single gpu...

    MSI GeForce GT 1030 DirectX 12

    More like 1.4 million ppd. My 1070 hover around that mark, sometimes as low as 1.2 and as high as 1.6.

    Using mats on rtx 3070 to replace vram

    Might as well replace everything while you're at it, unless the cost becomes an issue. If you manage to source correct vram, which is no easy feat...

    Old ways of Overclocking dead ?

    You need the turbo to apply the correct multiplier.

    You will probably need to disassemble one of them (assuming they are identical) to check on each individual board for identification.

    Mining Rig Buildout. Need your input!

    Seriously, just buy ethereum at this point. Way less risky and a whole lot less trouble to manage! This is coming from a guy owning a GH/s farm. It's been almost a year since I bought any gpu...

    NVIDIA Crypto Mining Processor 170HX Card Spotted with 164 MH/s Hash Rate

    This card seems tailor-made for ethereum mining. It is quite similiar to the vega cards in many ways. The core count really doesn't matter (underclocking is the norm), vram bandwidth and tight timings is paramount (hence the hbm) while 8 gb of capacity would be enough for 5-6 years should the...

    Sapphire Vapor-X Tri-X OC R9 290 owners/gurus advice needed (please)

    Stay in afterburner. It should allow you to customize what you need. Start with a customs fan profile and work from here. This card is one of the best space-heater you can find, so it will always run on the hot side, but the performance it can deliver considering it's age is remarkable. Great...

    R.I.P AMD 7950 2012-2021

    If money is tight, then just bake the card. Remove everything you can on the pcb, put it on a biscuit sheet, silicon chip dide up and on four small standoffs (small aluminium foil balls is what i use). Leave 10 minutes in a 375 °F pre-heated oven. Let it cool to room temp before trying to...
