RTX2070 only getting 34MH/s with OC

[Crypto_Miner]

Hi All!
New guy here and to mining in general. My MSI Gaming Z Twin Frozr RTX2070 behaves differently than the recommendations I see online. For example, at 75% power limit, my card uses 163W when it should be ~140W. I have mine set to 54% power limit to get to 120W. Mem is +900, core is -200, and I can't get above 34MH/s. If I push mem to + 1100 and up power limit, it will go to 35.5 but unstable. 40MH/s should be doable at 140W and +500 mem with RTX2070 from my understanding. What am I missing?

Abuse oF card causes this.

one card can very from another.. i get about 59 M/sh from a 2080ti i have.. its about 150 watts i think.. i could get the same M/sh from a 3070 for about 126 watts but they do vary.. some are a little higher power wise...

you are not missing anything.. you get what you get..

i am mining 11 cards.. 2 x 3080.. 1 x 2080ti and 8 x 3070.. in total i get around 720 M/sh.. they are profitable but did cost a fortune (maybe too much) to obtain..

i was running some 1070 cards.. these gave a very consistent 26 M/sh at around 126 watts.. a 3070 card will produce over twice the M/sh for the same power.. the downside being 3xxx series cards are very expensive..

Your 2070 has a higher power limit than the cards you're looking at then. This if often the case with higher-end models and is totally normal. You'll just need to adjust your power limits lower to set the same wattage. Your card might have a TDP of (random number) 250W, while the standard TDP is 200W. That means at 100% your card is allowed an extra 50W. At 75%, you're drawing 188W while regular TDP cards draw 150W.

You also need to check Samsung/Micron memory. I don't what the situation is with 2070 cards but with 1070's the difference between 26MH/s max at 130W+ or an easy 30MH/s at 110W is just in the memory vendor; I would assume this extends to the 2070 as well in some capacity. It might be that your card just has worse parts.

No, it does not. Could you please stop spouting your nonsense on every mining-related topic?

My RTX 2080 has a 240W max power limit which is thermally driven. Some games I play can push the card close to that much power.

Try to bring your power and temp limit up some, and "unchain" them. My 2060s (basically same at vanilla 2070) hashes at roughly 43MH using ~124W

I figured out the issue with my card (MSI Gaming Z Twin Frozr RTX2070). When it exceeds 1674MHz memory clock the Memory Controller Load is throttled to a cap of 75% (for reasons unknown). Reducing the memory clock by at least -103 (leaving it at 1674MHz) allows the Memory Controller Load to jump up to 91%, yielding a higher hashrate than any alternative settings simply because of the increased throughput. You can use HWinfo or GPU-Z to see check your own Memory Controller Load to see if this is the case for you as well. This increased the hashrate to 37.7 MH/s at a lower power usage. My next attempt is to get a newer bios flashed on the card to remove this memory controller load issue and then do a mem OC to hopefully get 40+ MH/s
