Riding the Crypto wave

[TheoneandonlyMrK]

So which do you recommend?

I use a modified balanced profile so i can switch to performance to game on , turn any sleep mode etc off in its advanced settings.
Then balanced works fine.

Well I’m not gaming very much so after messing with Geth and Claymore etc,. I took the easy way out and am using Minergate. Seems to work well enough and it’s using both CPU and GPU so that’s handy. I mean I’m just dabbling for fun.

GTX1070 profitability on the nicehash calculator seems to be declining. I remember it being closer to $5/day, now it's around $2.84 or something. What happened?

naturally it would, as i just bought a 1070

1st nvidia card, so i need to catch up on the nvidia mining tricks.

Difficulty goes up while the price of ethereum goes down.

Yeap and mining is becoming useless/ unprofitable.

maybe ill have to use the 1070 as a *gasp* gaming card? say it aint so!!

it is a mini 1070, fit right into my HTPC at some point when its useless at mining.

I will mine for one more week and if things do not change i will sell my mining Machine.

Someone just learned about altcoins, I'm guessing.

So, I know this seems like a simple question but I couldn't really find an answer anyway. Most people seem to run their display off IGP and mine with the other cards. Can you run a display off a card and mine?

 

[INSTG8R]

Welp my Fury hates Ethereum. BSOD or just a full on reset. So I’m mining Monero. If someone has a better suggestion I’m all ears.

yes. at least with AMD.

my daily driver pc has a R9 390 and no IGP (Z77 with 3570K). during the day it mines at low power and can play videos and older games at the same time. at night it mines at full intensity. full power only at night as the fans ramp up and and its in the living room so for quietness sake its only mining full tilt when we are asleep. use trixx to change power profiles.

when mining at lower power you can barely tell its running. quiet, very occasional lag on page scrolls. other than that no issues.

Of course you can. You can even run games and display on the same GPU!

yes. at least with AMD.

Shouldn't this be the opposite? Quiet at night and noisy during the day?

That's what I thought. Hated to ask the question, just needed confirmation.

Have they been used to mine crypto coins ????
Personally would not buy any ex mining card (or Recommend anyone else to)
In Fact would not buy any Card capable of mining unless i know its genuine history ( or Brand new )

The 1070 was bought less than 2 weeks ago and the 1080 less than one month ago?

And yes they have mined but not 24/7

At what price? I have been wanting to get 1060/1070 but with the current price rise i couldn't justify that

Could someone explain to me why the focus on GPUs? I’m currently using both. CPU and GPU and my CPU is pretty much hashiimg I3x as much as my GPU lets say 150 vs 50.

 

[verycharbroiled]

daily driver is in the living room. so we want it quiet during the day when we might be in there . at night we are in the bedroom so the daily driver can be as loud as it wants, we dont hear it.

dedicated mining rig is in the basement, it runs full tilt 24/7.

Are the specs correct? If so, your GPU should make a lot more.
CPUs aren't very effective for simple hashing algorithms. A GPU (hundreds of simple cores) are much better.
Even if you ignore the fact that few GPUs can be used in one PC, they have an advantage.
An 8-core Ryzen is more or less equivalent to a GTX 1050 or RX460, but a simple Ryzen 1700 system will cost you as much as a GTX 1070 - the latter making 3-4x as much (but they will mine different cryptocurrencies).

Is this a flat or a house? Because I tend to think that the living room is right behind the wall.
Also, have you considered just making the PC quieter? You don't have to spend much more to achieve that and the benefits are pretty significant (and fairly quantitative if that lets you do more mining).

Well this how its running as of now

Change your GPU Mining Intensity to "1" instead of "3"

Thanks for the tip but that literally put it down in the teens, so worse
