It will not draw any less power from motherboard slot since its the way the PCB is designed. The power for the memory comes from the motherboard slot. This can't be reduced.

What is going to be the difference? better hashrate? less power?
Thanks for your work @claymore
Thanks for your work @claymore
We are all hoping for 5-10% hashrate boost and 5-10% power reduction
Probably will see better results on coins that utlize core, more than mem.
Edit: Just checked some test and 5xx are produced in the same process, so power draw will remain the same at same clocks.
Disappointed.
570/580 can mine with only 8-pin connector attached.

1. Production process is different - LPP.
2. @ connectors serves a different purpose. It is designed to draw less power from the motherboard slot! Same amount but different path.
it would be nice as it would allow me to use a few flimsy narrow risers with a weird four pin connector (Not SATA or molex).
I recall that it is able to provide only 36W. At the moment those risers stay retired.

Miners are often recognised as viruses. Don't worry. Just make an exception in your AV software.
Or one good question, why you need AV on mashine what is used for mining?
Every AV can take 30-40% of your CPU so i would not have AV there.
This is simply not true! Antivirus is a must on every device connected to the internet.
No, what you said isn't true - AV is near worthless if you know what you're doing.
Key word is "if"
Think about a condom Its not required if you know what you are doing But when it comes to an intercourse with a stranger you better have it I am managing 1000+ workstations. Kaspersky Endpoint is using less than 1% of CPU. Daily reports contain 100+ active actual threats.

Looks like the EXP DEV fee pool was down or had issues and all my rigs stopped mining
It seemed to connect but not mine on the dev pool
Had no choice but to use -nofee 1

not all of them are 8+6 (MSI gaming 570 has only a 8pin), but some are, indeed, like Sapphire 570 8gb 100412NT+8GL
cannot make a 6 GPU rig with them using EVGA 1300, unless you use splitters/extenders, which is not a big deal by itself.
That Sapphire he mentions uses 6pin + 8pin connectors, so you would need 12 VGA connectors from the PSU in order to run 6 of that GPU.
not exactly accurate...
EVGA 1300 can run 7 cards, that's not the point. The point was that new Sapphire RX 570 has 8pin AND 6pin connectors.
EVGA 1300 has two double connectors (8[6+2]+6) and four singles (8pin=6+2)
Evga does NOT have 8+8 connectors (second 8pin you suppose to connect to PSU)
therefore, without extra PCIe splitters you would be able to employ only 4 GPUs like Sapphiere 570 8gb that you mention.
This is not a big deal anyway since you could buy splitters at $4 a pop.
there is no such thing as 8pin to 8pin(6+2)+8pin(6+2), instead there are 8pin to 8pin(6+2)+6pin, unless they changed their product:
http://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=120-g2-1300-xr
Perhaps, you got a bunch of random cables. In such case, it is fine.
Retail boxed EVGA 1300 have 6 cables, 2 doubles (4 connectors) and 4 singles for a total of 8 PCIe connectors, six of which are 8pin [6+2] and two are 6pin (you can confirm this on the website that i included).

Updated the miner's version and now it seems like I'm getting a heck of more hash speed for siacoin than before. Ethereum hash rate seems same.

I have the same issue as Coyn on 2x RX480, since upgrading from 9.0 to 9.1: Siacoin mining speed doubles, but Ethereum mining speed is very unstable and often drops. The cards do not appear to be throttling, temperatur is normal and there is sufficient power.
Adjusting dcri does not help, even with low numbers Ethereum mining speed is unstable. Currently I use -asm 0 to fix it, but of course that causes much lower Siacoin mining speed.

Dear Coyn
im using claymore 9.1 for ethereum
but the sistem are using only 2148 mb in use on each card
my vga card is a sapphire rx470 4gb (modded bios)
The mh/s are ok, but why only using 2gb
have one type to use 4gb and increase the hashrate(mh/s) ?
Thanks
Almir

The 8.1 software gave me a 100% core/mem usage non-stop. Now this new miner gives me more pasc, but the mining is unstable. It drops to 75% once every 10 seconds. (see picture)
http://imgur.com/a/xVK4I (first line is 8.1 stable. then second line is 9.1 unstable)
What is wrong here? Just the software?

I use the new 9.1 version and it is really really nice, the power usage is almost (+/- 1%) the same and the pasc speed is way better. The only weird thing is that ALL of my cards (470/480 4gb/8gb 5 different brands) are no longer stable on mem/core.

lookin forward for new version !
cm v9 still sees rx 570/580 as 470/480
580 is not as jumpy as 480

happy mining

The 500 series looks to be worse for mining since they consumer more power for minimal gains. They may undervolt to the point of being equal H/W, but the price to purchase them is higher (for now) so I'd stick with the 400 series.
