Zen up... Holy shit finally making remotely decent profits with mainstream cards. Still, comparatively speaking, a 1070 should be earning a $18 a day.
now with zencash about 9$
Yeah happened like 30 mins after I posted that. It was up for almost 24hours though. XD

amd was lucky that ETH is still increasing so much, still i would choose nvidia because of better option, when ETH will go pos or diff boom there will be no more profit for amd
There is no magical fairy land of 'if there were no Eth'. If ETH goes away, we're all doomed. AMD hashrate isn't going to disappear. That means it'll overflow to every other coin in existence and we'll all be royally fucked. Even if something isn't as profitable right now, that doesn't mean it wont be profitable nor does it mean they wont mine negative (or what is considered negative to you due to power).
Nvidia is not the better option, it hasn't been for months. I keep saying this and there are still the koolaid drinkers and the fanbois that sneak out of the cracks. I'm mining with Nvidia because I've bought it over the last years. New baby miners that buy Nvidia hardware are fucking retarded. Do some research before you drop $10k on something.
There are currently roughly 1.2M~ 480s mining Ethereum at the moment. There is no way we'll survive if Eth goes PoS or disappears.
Of course. And 1080 should do more, at least 35. And 1080 Ti should do 50+. If you check 1080 Ti, you can see it reaches 35, but memload is only 75% and you cannot change that no matter OC. There is something seriously NOT adjusted for GDDR5X.
It is all about latency and I'm very doubt that you can mask it in software when we talk about dagger-hashimoto.
Polaris cards with stock bios are also showin < 100% mem load and poor performance until better timings resulting lower latency are applied. It is not software - but hardware feature.
Big latency can be properly hidden with correct programming approach. The current one used by Genoil's CUDA kernel is obviously not the correct one. At the end, big mem bandwidth is more important when proper coding is applied.
And there is more of the Koolaid, notice how he ignores all my posts. He's still talking about Genoil's cuda miner for Ethereum, even though there are multiple miners for Ethereum for Nvidia. Genoils is just one of them. For instance, one you guys may have heard of Claymore also works for Nvidia (I don't even know why you would be using Genoil's right now). Performance is almost identical and Claymore built his from the ground up.
And no, you can't magically make latency go away. If they could, as I mentioned before, it would've been done before as Dagger is huge. However, a good dual miner is something that needs to be done since Claymore delays all the important changes to his miner for Nvidia by six months. That is something that can be worked on and fixed. Currently Nvidia doesn't have the assembly changes that AMD does and that offered a huge boost to dual mining performance for AMD. Since Nvidia GPUs are more performance heavy instead of memory heavy, focusing on the other algos that are meshed with it would help out immensely.
