rtx 3070 was promised to be shown to us in November 2020. November is already ending, and there is still not a single leak about the Ethereum hashrate.
I am sure that these video cards have already been produced and are already on their way to various stores around the world.

i think 3060 and 3070 will be favourite card for miners. ofcourse lets see what surprise AMD has for us......

New Update miner tests:

Nbminer=93.79Mhs (Fee 1%)
Phoenixminer=93.3Mhs (Fee 0.65%)
Etherminer=92.72 Mhs (Fee 0%)
All : Core 0 Mem 1200 PL 215


It seems that best miner for Ethash now is Etherminer... If you are not able to run it, it is because you need to modify it and build it another time. If someone need it contact me and I send it. For a big Rigs it is a big quantity of has if we count the time that takes the change and the return of the DevFee.

I can arrive to 100Mhs but I prefer to be conservative:

Two 5700xt hashes 108Mhs with 230w to 250w power consumption
Three 5600xt hashes 114Mhs with 255 to 270w power consumption

There's no big difference in terms of efficiency, at least in my opinion
Maybe the new navi cards will increase this efficiency

Most Nvidia cards I used to reduce TDP to 60% without any decrease in hash, but this 3080 looks very hungry power

In my country it's almost impossible to get one, there's no cards to buy, even the 3090 are out of stock

Right now, I would not touch any rtx 3080 at all, too many issues but as soon as the issues are fixed then I will think about buying one. The good thing about the 3080 is that you get a good performance without the need to change the bios, flashing bios can be very painful, I never bricked any but is better if you can avoid that. Also for management 1 card is better than 2 cards, in the long run running systems with 1 card the uptime is a lot better than running with 2 cards, so the uptime the 1 card instead of 2 provides pay off the electricity, I mean, take for example a system with 6 gpus and then a system with 12 gpus. The uptime a system with 6 gpus will be at least 5% more than the one with 12 gpus, also the more density it gives the less you need to spend with a second system, example, motherboards, memory rams, motherboard and so on. It may be unnoticeable for some people but every time a system restarts you lose from 1 to 10 minutes and sometimes you lose a lot more than that, so if a system restarted 4 times per day then you may have lost almost 1 hour and that is a lot. Well it is something to think about.

cross post this from another 3080 thread...on the bigger scheme of things.

even expanding to bigger mining farms (scaling), density is still a "major" feature. imagine managing 30 cards vs  300 or more cards, with bigger farms you will have another headache/expense --->someone/ a person skilled enough for that additional management/troubleshooting etc., space/shelves, and electrical lines and outlets etc..

at the bigger scheme of things, managing 500 cards vs 1000 cards you'll get how much reduced work is the 'minus 500'.. at 30 cards vs 60 cards you might not feel the 'extra work' very much.

remember ASICs expensiveness/price are not just derived from just being efficient it is also derived from being dense. like 1 unit for (insert very high hashrate here)

anyway what i would like to know about 3080's is this...gamers run at 100% tdp (the issues is here) since it is all about fps, but miners run at 70-80% tdp, at 70-80% tdp are these cards stable?...it seems stable enough.

if i could find a 3080 blower style i would buy two or three. say 3 for 2000 or 2100.

nvidia tend to run more stable.

 I have two empty boards. a six slot  and an eight slot.

14/2 = 7 slots doing 85 mh = almost 600 mh. 

if i use 5700 xt we are doing 7 x 50 = 350 mh.

a lot more hash in the same spot more stable.

chill out guys 3000 series debate heats up  Grin

3090 doesnt make sense to buy for mining, even 3080/3070

at this point and future to come, efficiency less impact for profit gpu mining cause we are in bull run for next 1-2 years,

build up cheaper gpu for bucks more sense to me, rather than buying new cards with inflated price only for efficiency

@ metroid

you double post the beamhashIII

anyway it seems 3080 is basically around x2 of 1080ti..as usual best settings are in the 70%-80% tdp.

3080 is the clear successor of 1080ti.

The original poster did it, it seems both are somehow different, might have been a different version of beam.

That 3090 is really expensive. Would you guys be willing to part with $1400 to get your hands on RTX 3090? Don't you guys think mining with RTX 3080 would be much better $$$ wise?

Well to be able to play 'both" sides of the table you need to have troops or support on both sides. Being able to respond quickly to changes often leads to better outcomes. More options equals more chances to get to a point of success.

Exactly that is the reason i never stay 100% in cryptocoins, I always hold 20 to 30% in cash in case the price crashes and I have that money to buy more.

Pretty amazing I can sell my 1070s for over $100 and I paid $340 for them over 3 years ago.  

Yeah but you need to understand gpus prices are not like used to be, gtx 1070 used to be sold for $349, now $499. Yeah, if you buy a 3070 today for $499 and then gpus prices increase once again to a 4070 $699 then yes you will have a resale value better than when you bought and that will hold but pay attention that $349 you paid in 2016 is today $499, inflation and other things. A good example is when you could buy a 3 bedroom house for 500 dollars some decades ago and today that money is worth a 3070 ehhe

Yep, that's the speed of money. A dollar today is worth 2 in the future. A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush, or something like that haha. Mining is a good hedge against all the crypto's value going to poop.

Getting $100 for a video after 4 years might sound great now until you consider in 4 years it's 1/2 of what it is right now. As always it's good to diversify - own different types of wealth (property, equities, rentals) and even in mining own nVidia and AMD cards in a mix.

Diversify? Looks more like a portfolio to me, you add healthy foods in the mix because wherever you are going with all the poverty prevention, if that one and only body fails-game over.

If you apply inflation, the 100$ resale value is around 30-50$ when that card is still brand new years ago. That's why for people who ROI their cards many times over, they just want those old card out of their precious space, so they can put the new cards in their place.
