1070s are worth the additional cost imo. You can dual mine ETH at 32 MH/s and only draw 75W with the right settings. I also pay .12/KW and have found these to be the most flexible and power efficient across various algos. If you're in it for the long haul might as well scoop up some 1070s, better resale value as well.
I was under the impression 1070 needed atleast 120w to be stable.
Same question here, how could get 1070 with 75w and 30mh/s?
Actually 31.3 MH/s ETH w/ 315 PASC per card at 79.5W to be precise. TDP is 150W right? I run it at 53% TDP.
So you aren't actually measuring the power at the wall, just doing some theoretical math?
Well its graded at 150W so I would assume 53% of that is 79.5. At the wall is variable depending on the psu I use but it's around 80-90W.
It depends on the GPU. Some 1070's can have 215w TDP but most are usually 150-170. This is why we measure at the wall for accurate results.
