Yes, sort of.

This is a Wind 10 NVidia mining rig:

Both mining programs can be run at the same time. There's a slight profit loss but the cards haven't been optimized or tested yet to see if speeds can be increased.

Sorry to say that, but it's total bullshit. It's not working like that at all.
Check your measurement once again.

What part is total BS? The hash rates, or the fact that it's working at all?

On Wednesday I'll be next to the miner and I can re-check/re-measure

good to see all the experienced miners gathered here. but i would like to know how much you guys are mining with the rigs .i just want to know whether it is profitable for me to mine .

DID THIS WORK??

If your electricity is free you will get around 7$/day with 6x470 mining rig. Is it enough? You tell me.

6x470 rig would cost about $1400. So that is 200 day ROI. It is quite good.

You are not taking into account difficulty increase and price drop. Do the math, extrapolate that. One R7 370 did $3 a day in March. That didn't last long. You WON'T reach ROI in 200 days, it's guaranteed. Even with free electricity.

That is right. The price of the coin is dropping.

Not much now. If your electricity price is high, it is better not to mine.

What miner gives the best hash for Ethereum on a rx480 8gb?

still genoil by a small margin, but claymore offers dual mining.

this thread is no longer relevant as the new zec mining software makes simultaneous zec/eth ineffective.

As someone that just built a new rx 480 x6 mining rig -- I would not try this setup until I hit my ROI. Likelihood of burning out cards is higher when stressing them with untested shit like this.

My rig has been stable and hasnt required any additional attention after updating Claymore versions every few days. Not looking to babysit this rig for all eternity.

It is a good thread with some valuable info, but personally I would avoid doing this for the time being. Let other people burn out cards and provide software updates.

The newer Claymore miners stress the GPU more. So you have to lower the core clock frequency, otherwise, they are not stable.

Anyone have this working with 4gb 470s or 480s? (dual mining zec and eth, both claymore miners)

ZEC mining looks profitable but once price goes down its the same fate

factor in 30-35% lower power draw and even if the btc payout is eventually the same as eth per rig it still makes more sense to mine zec with electricity factored in.

there is also total power draw if thats what limits you. someone with say 100 amps as upper limit can now use 30% more rigs for same amps.

In the Claymore V1 to V7, the power is 30% lower than the ETH mining. But now it is just 10% lower.

yeah and its very hard to undervolt for zec vs eth since zec uses alot of gpu clock
witch in turn means higer voltages for and core clock above 1200
unlike eth where you can mine at max power with under 1100 core even
