actually no, still the most profitable, remember that reward is constantly increasing, we have about the same earning as before

the price will recover when the reward will tank to the previous point, still a long way too go

Fans are same shit @ strix as G1

They look the same, but they aren't. The 1070 Strix fans are thicker and seem higher quality then the G1 fans. Gigabyte in general has always used shit fans on their cards (they go bad). Pretty certain the G1 isn't a double ball bearing and the Strix is. The 970 Strix is, so I assume the 1070 Dual is also a dual BB.
Well I have no 1070 strix, but 390 strix fan died after 15 days. Like all are using variants of PowerLogic fans... MSI started that with 2xx series...now ( I heard) MSI uses 2bb fans on new cards. Finally they spent 1$ more on fans ( so important for sales )

I have a decent number of 970 Strix's and none of them have went bad, except for one that was catching on the wire shroud and eventually caused the fan to fail. I've also owned some 280x Strix's and those also never went bad, compared to the XFX I owned all of which failed multiple times over their ownership, usually every six months.

If they're using the same fan brand as Gigabyte, they're a different models and definitely higher quality

i meant plugs for 2 external fans Wink but yep, only the big strix has that (i think)



look like the 1060 strix too

The asus Strix OC do very well, in fact better than the evga SC, but i dont know about the cheaper models

Ths strix OC also have 2 PWM fan ports which can be really nice for the side fans of a case

Yeah, I have some of the three fan Asus cards that look like the Gigabyte Gaming. The fans actually seem to be more durable and they have a higher threshold on fan speed (they are capable of running faster). They both seem to run at the same temperature though.

The link is actually to a different 1070, not the 1070 Strix. The 1070 Dual uses the same fan as the 970 Strix's, which is what I was talking about.

So going back to our earlier discussion on heatsinks, it looks like Asus is now selling a version of their 1070 with the 970 heatsink (which were pretty good).

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814126119

However, much like almost all the 1070s this time around, it seems as though they tried to 'bling it up' and by doing so wrecked a good amount of the cooling ability. If you look at the sides and back of that particular heatsink compared to the 970 Strix's, there is not proper exhaust ports for the air to flow out of, hampering airflow, much like with the 1070 Amp Edition cards. Although it doesn't look as bad as the Amps, it definitely looks like they went out of their way to minimize air exhaust from the card.

I have one in the mail right now... Hopefully I'm wrong and it performs just as well as the 970 Strix, but I kinda doubt it. Sorta weird how card manufacturers like bragging about their coolers, then go out of their way to ruin them with excessive amounts of bling because the kids think it looks cool.

yep, but that doesnt make it faster than it was on linux Wink and that remains slow compared to a "small" R9 285... (equivalent or less than a 960 in games)

According to the Genoil Eth thread, new drivers for the Titan fix mining problems on Windows for Pascal Ethereum. Those drivers are specifically pre-released for Titan, which means we'll probably see the changes applied across the board to all other cards with this months release (probably within a week).

You can alter the Titan drivers to work right now with older cards if you know the cards hardware ID and aren't afraid to mess with some .ini's.

it's not my profit, i was saying that siacoin is not profitable like other option, the diff is increasing only because of the dual mining thing

not that it matter, siacoin have a bad profit right now, even lyra 2 and spreadcoin are better and eth also, basically on par with feathercoin...

ICO? Not even once.
Windows 10 x64 1607 have strange problem whith hashrates... main videocard go down in 50%, go up and go down... Avarage hashrate slower on 10 %. But i run 3 instances of lbry miners, and avarage numbers is good (counting all 3 instances). WTF? F***ing windows....
Shit, closing Chrome window, and it works good.

I haven't had that issue since cudaminer. Try turning hardware acceleration off in Chrome.

So is anyone willing to work on a Nvidia ETH dual miner for commission? It doesn't need to be a ground up rebuild of ETH.

It's silly we're six months in from when Claymore released his and we still don't have one.

CLAYMORE IS WORKING ON ONE--

He has said in his thread that he "had an agreement" not to code an nVidia miner, but that it expired.  When asked for an update last week, he said "1-or-2 weeks".  

He just released version 5.3 of his AMD miner, it remains to be seen if the very latest AMD drivers for RX 460, 470, and 480 will work well with his miner.  I do see on AMD's website that Ubuntu 14.04.4 now has a version of the drivers supporting the new line of cards.  The site only claims compatibility with Ubuntu 16.04.1, though, and these are beta drivers.       --scryptr

Appreciate the information. Obviously some huge farm paid him a LOT of money to specifically code it for AMD. How old is that post? 1-2 weeks out a couple days ago?

That aside, not sure why he would take time to code it. Besides the program not allowing it... Nvidia devices are OCL capable, so it really just needs to be 'flipped on' and allowed to work with Nvidia hardware, more or less.


BTW if you're into AMD hardware, 470s may be the brand new go to for Dagger mining. The 470 performs just about on par with the 480 for Dagger. The 460s have a smaller memory bus, so they might not be up to par... However it will be interesting to see what results they produce as well.

I FOLLOW CLAYMORE'S THREAD--

Within the last two weeks, he has been asked several times about an nVidia miner.  I asked him, and he told me, about 3 days ago.  If you ask him, he will likely answer you.  He answers the silliest questions from  one dot readers on up.  He earns a lot with his fee, and gives responsible support to match.

I also have been reading about the 470 cards.  Not bad performance for 150 Watts max.       --scryptr

I asked off and on for a Nvidia miner for the first 2~ months or so after the dual miner was released and never got a response besides 'There is no Nvidia miner'. Good he had a change of heart, there really isn't any competition regardless of the amount of time it went without being fulfilled. I imagine Nvidia hardware performing quite well, especially pascal.

try --cpu-priority 3 (or 4), i seen something weird like that on pascal, else the speed was fast only when i focused the command line window.... another weird new issue unrelated to ccminer code Wink


Well, else ive a SIA miner under work... it already works on suprnova and nanopool... waiting enough donations to release sources and finish it (aka implement the stratum protocol described on their forum), i just posted that on their forum...  970 1GH/s

Hopefully you meet your goals. SIA is sort of in a tough spot though, a 12% increase in performance brings it about up to par with mining Dagger, only without the advantages (such as multiple coins). If you can further improve it you'll probably generate more interest, but you'd need a extra 15-20% on top of what you've already done to make LBRY miners bat a eye.

That really depends on how long LBRY lasts for though. SIA is a much more robust coin, as are dagger coins.

STEEM is still a promising area if you're looking to get donations for a preview miner. I would definitely throw BTC at that.
