as i said AT THE MOMENT OF WRITING , stongest card providing HIGHER HASH RATE (no matter the power consumption)  is RADEON PRO DUO ... 900 to 1100 hashes /s  depending on the oc you apply ... of course the higher the hash rates the more inefficient it is... at 900 hashes is a bit less efficient than nvidia cards (4.5 w for each hash)
Per that number the TI only uses 156 w per hash?

The 1080 Ti can be set to do ~600 sols at ~150-155 watts. About 3.9 hash per watt ratio. You can get it up around 700 sols or higher but it will use the full 250 watts and beyond, making it very inefficient if you run it that way.

so running 6x 1080ti should be possible with a 1200W psu?

If you had the requisite 12 PCIE connectors on that PSU and you made sure to reduce the power limit on each GPU before you start to mine you might be ok. 150 watts per GPu is 900 watts, depending on the rest of your hardware you could have anywhere from 50-200 watts added onto that. When you take into account your PSU's efficiency rating you will be pulling anywhere from 1050 to 1220+ watts from the wall and you should never load your PSU to the 100% max... 80% is the most I like to do myself. You will burn out your hardware allot faster if you stress it too much. Wink

Is this card compatible with EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner?
Can you post a printscreen of this 900 to 1100 hashes please?

I have 5x SAPPHIRE Vapor-X Radeon R9 280X DirectX 12 100363VX-3L 3GB 384-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 CrossFireX Support TRI-X WITH BOOST (UEFI) Video Card

I want to add one more card to this rig, my understanding is that I should add an AMD card for best efficiency? I'm interested in adding a 1080 TI but I do not want to create a headache for myself. What's the recommended card at the highest performance that would run on this rig as the 6th card?

From an owner of 5 Pro Duo's, here is a heads up of what you will face  :

Windows 10
The recommended mining driver 16.3.2     = Maximum 2 Cards, 3rd will BSOD.
The newer drivers which allow 3 cards     = Miner will mine at half speed.


Linux
simpleminingOS : after fiddling , got 3 cards running with no fan control or temps display what so ever, card were almost fried as there was no fan control. its resolved (sometimes) by using on-board vga and main display.
EthOS             : 3 cards will show but only 5 gpu's out of 6 will mine.


I asked Claymore and  EthOS Support, all agreed on one thing, this card have shitty drivers and they can't do anything from their side.

thanks for your reply. can you recommend me a mobo with 12 pcie slots for this case?

thanks in advance

PCIE connectors are the cables that plug into your video card, not the PCI-E slots on the motherboard. There isn't a 12 PCI-E slot motherboard on the market. Ones with 6 slots are rare enough, sometimes you will find one with 7 slots.

Was it a Motherboard with 6 PCI-E slots you needed or a Power Supply with 12 PCIE connectors? Or both?

 I've seen up to 16 PCI-E 16-bit slots on a motherboard, but it was a server-specific passive backplane style board and not real suitable to try to mine on AND bloody expen$$$$ive.

 
 It's entirely possible to run NVidia and AMD gpus in the same machine - but it tends to be less stable than a "pure" rig.
 Windows 7 or 10 does this easily, LINUX can do it but need a bit of custom work on installing the drivers.


 The Radeon Pro Dual is 2x Fury Nano on one physical card - can't clock it QUITE as high as a Nano due to the higher heat generation in less space, but can get pretty close per multiple reports.

This card does 900/1100 hashes?

yes that card does  900 1100 hashes in zcash

Is there any conflict to run Nvidia / amd cards on the same rig?

So with only one open card slot, I'm thinking I should buy the most powerful card I can for it being this as the best deal? 3 fans @ 700

Thanks everyone for posting great info here, I'm interested in all of this but specifically my question is that I have one spot open on a 6 card rig (currently only 5 cards on it) and I want to use the most powerful zcash hashing card on it even if ROI is a little longer. However if it's obviously not worth it then I want the card that's the best choice.

I pay 14c kwh

I am on my iPad so links are a pain to post .

But my thread has info on the Galax katana 1070 thin slim single slot .

Just read the last few post on the thread.

Most of nvidia zec miners said 1070 is the best $/hash , in some cases it's the 1060 , i think if eth will turn pos then most of miners will start building nvidia rigs to open more options

the 1080 and 180ti are good also, the ti is too expensive bad roi time, but the 1080 is very good now with the new price, still i think the 1070 is the best from a value/watt/hash ratio, the 1060 3gb is not that good you need many rig and it's worse in efficiency than a 1070

No the best GPU for ZCASH is the Radeon 7950/ 7970/ 280x which you can buy second hand for like $50-$75.

Each will get you 300 H/s. So impossible to lose money on those.

Keep in mind they use 200 Watts however.





how 300 hashes are faster than 1100 ? we are not speaking about BEST COST RATIO but op asked whast is FASTEST CARD not more efficient or faster roi...

Can I mine zcash with my laptop?

 Yes you can, but I would strongly recommend you against it, because laptops have very power heat dispensing and mining in general will produce extreme heat and so will melt your laptop. And on top of that even laptops with dedicated GPU's produce very less revenue. So please take this into consideration before you begin.
