The GPU core power shown + 40-50 W for the PCI-E slot power on the riser (not shown) is your total power. Your miner gets new work from the pool and you send the completed work back as shares. The lower difficulty the shares, the more frequently your miner completes the work and sends the shares back to the pool. A higher difficulty share takes longer to complete, but is worth more than a lower difficulty share e.g. At diff 4000 shares are worth twice as much as diff 2000 shares.
Thank you so much for responding. So based on what you said, GPU Core + 40-50 I'm pulling about 120-130 watts when that screenshot was taken? Is it just me or does that seem kind of low for dual mining on a rx 570? What about the other sections with watts displayed?
Like "GPU Chip Power"
Or in GPU-Z's "GP only power draw", "VDDC Power draw", "VDCI Power draw"? Do I just ignore these? And do my VDCC Power draw, VDCI power draw seem high? I was comparing them with someone else's setup with the same cards as me (msi armor) and he has stats like these:
1100core 2005mem 837v 1425 Straps 28.7xxmhs
GpuZ readings:
GPU Only power draw: 71.3
VDDC Power draw: 32.8
VDDCI Power draw: 12.4
mine seem incredibly high in comparison
