I think when the dust settles, ETH will be maybe 10% more profitable then ZEC due to the fact that it uses less electricity.
eTH uses less?
No it doesn't, this statement is wrong. Mining Eth absolutely uses more power than ZEC with all clocks and voltages the same.
As for dual mining, I concur with the fact that solo mining Eth is more profitable. You actually lose money mining SIA or DCR as the extra electricity cost is more than what you mine.
@Walrusbonzo - yes i agreee with you, i use around 10-15% less power mining ZEC than ETH, it was lower but the newest version of claymore raised power use by around 5% across the board. But even with the higer power use Eth only seems to be alot more profitable than ZEC now
Yes, the newer version of Claymore does use about 5% more power, but also gives around 5% more sols, so it's about even in that regard.
The thing is, when keeping settings the same you can switch from ETH to ZEC and notice about a 10% power drop with no other effort as has already been mentioned, but if you make a custom ZEC WattTool profile you can drop another 10% off this as ZEC will allow you to drop the wattage more than ETH will without crashing. So it is a bit more work, but I modified my launch batch files to run WattTool with GPU initialization files customized to ZEC for lower power and another customized for ETH.
