The 390 g1 gaming comes with a 6 pin and a 8 pin connector.
6pin= 75Watt
8pin= 150Watt
Motherboard 66 watt
MAX power is 291 watt, but the wall readings is abit higher. (Powered usb risers)
there is nothing stopping the card to draw more than those "max" values.
only thing that matters is power meter at the wall plug.
yes in fact in that cse some of those thing, will simply melt away
and, again, pure Mh/s don't matter: it's efficiency that matters (Mh/s)/W, unless you run on free power.
yeah also 300w for 40MH is not that impressive actually, because 6 x 970 can do the same, 120MH at 900w(6 x 140w + system) and without any tweaking just PL limited to 60%, like i've done in my case
if we were to ignore the consumption we would still use monsters like 7990 or 290x2(this can do 51MH)
I don't know about you guys but for me it is profit that matters.
Most of the time some powersaving brings you more profits but not always. Best hash/ watt and I am loosing profits everyday with every card I have.
When reading these watt/hash threads this starts to look like some loudest whisper contest. Like the_ultimate_mining_GPU would consume zero watts and hash 2Mh/s eth. Or like winner of GP race was that guy who had most fuel left after race.
Really, do your math. Many of you are loosing profits.
I am still happily running some 295x2. Like every hawaii they do at least 34MH/ core without mods. If I ask they deliver, currently I am not asking so much.
yeah but final profit is minus cost of electricity, you must factor this, and there is no 0 electricity
it's all about if you need more efficency, for me it's important, and i understand that for other is not that important, because they have 5 cent electricity or lower(still important for them if they have 100 gpu or more)
the same for initial investment, it's not that important you can sell later your card, your card will not be worth zero in few months if ever, especially if they are new generation gpu
a 970 cost less than 200 euro now, the dual mining is possible for nvidia too, just no one wants to do it, i remember you were working on one....
where? link please,....
it's private if it ever exist...
maybe he was referring to the 970 at less than 200
ah i sold mine for 220 few days ago on ebay(g1 gaming), below 200 i see them on different private website here in euro
