i need quick response for these question
how much is one 970 doing in hashrate for ETH? and what is the argument to run ETH with it?
a quick search lead me to 980ti doing less hash than a 280x? why this?
Yes a GTX 980 ti has barely more hashrate than a GTX 980 and far lower than a R9 290X.
Eth mining is highly dependant on memory : timings, controler, bandwith, cache... and as genoil discovered of TLB (buffer for memory adress translation) capacity/performance.
For amd, hynix > elpida due to some timings. For nvidia samsung > hynix probably for the same reason.
R9 290X with hynix mem and 1150 gpu is doing about 30Mh/s. R9 390X a small bit more (better memory I guess).
Fury is aroung R9 290X/ R9 390X depending on the overclock.
On nvidia side, GTX 970 seems to be the sweet spot with a good oc around 280X perf with lower power usage (the 280x used to be better but due to increase dag size, it has lost a bit more than 10% perf).
Eth is a good coin to mine if you think the future will hold or be better but there are other coins out now that you can do better
right now with. Just a little research.
I mined with 7 cards about 78 Mh/s and was getting about 2.2 coins per day. Probably less than that now since more people have started.
970 should get you 15-17 Mh/s depending on you set up. 960 about 10-12 Mh/s. 750ti about 2-4 Mh/s but I would not try with that. I seen someone post they got 8 mh/s per 750ti but I have never seen anyone confirm that while actually mining except on the testnet.
Like what? Ohhh... You wont say, but you'll tell us that you know of much better coins. Quite helpful.
You'd be hard pressed to find better profits then mining Eth right now. It's giving me about .0086 BTC per 970 per day. Next up would be Vanilla coin as it seems to be rising too, but it's much more volatile. Decred is up there too, but also quite volatile as it's brand new and untested.
I have my own private coins I mine when things get rough, but I don't expect anyone else to find them.I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours.
See how you contradicted yourself. Your last statement makes you quite helpful as well. The key statement on mine was "just a little research."
Read the whole thing, alllll the way through. I don't gloat about coins I wont tell people about. If you're not going to tell people, don't bother waggling your dick around.
People can find a needle in a haystack with a little bit of research too... Or a lot, depending on how lucky they are. There are always great coins out there, they're extremely hard to find... Matter of a fact you can spend a lot of time hunting them down, that's why I mentioned that as one of the particular job categories when I pointed out all four of them.
Speaking of Decred, does SP's ccminer support it yet? Is there a performance boost?
ALL TROLLING ASIDE--
When I began mining with sp_ 's branch I was barely getting 9.7-9.9 Mh/s mining Quark with my GTX 960. I now get 11.5-11.6 Mh/s mining Quark, with improvements in other algos as well. Especially good are the improvements in NeoScrypt (credit to DJM34).
The improvements in sp_ 's branch are due to assembly code optimizations. He does not bill himself as a CUDA programmer. He tweaks other coders' base work. He could improve his CUDA coding and produce cleaner code for release, perhaps. If he gave more effort to support Linux miners, he'd get more donations.
TPruvot's VanillaCoin (VNL) coding was clean and efficient. I haven't tried his absolute latest, but I will. I guess I owe him a donation, too.
Donate to your favorite coder, people! --scryptr
