Topic: Dual Mining with NVIDIA on ethash opinions? (Read 401 times)
Once you get your hardware you can download Nicehash miner and run the benchmarks. That will give you a good idea of the hashrate you can expect with your exact hardware. The AMD GPUs would definitely make more by dual mining, but your Nvidia ones will not be as big of a difference when compared to mining straight Eth.
I think you won't have significant or any loses by dual mining, it won't affect the performance of Ethash due to them being different algorithms and using the GPU in a different way. Although, it's going to lead into more heat and power usage which leads to more wear in your hardware, make sure you have the fans on 100% and sufficient cooling for your rig.
However, mining a second coin is totally worth it.

At the moment i got no gpu-miner in house. They will arrive by end of next week...but i was researching the last weeks and building a bit of knowledge to start without losing time.
I ordered a big 1060 farm and a small amd 470.
i know that amd is a ethash champ compared to nvidia...so i was planning to get the 1060's on zcash and the amd cards on some dual miner on eth...today i checked whattomine to figure out what would be the best option to start with atm.
I figured out that dual mining eth+dcr is the most profitable (not looking at the projects itself only on the math).
I made my calculation and it would be also more profitable letting my 1060 mine eth+dcr...unless the fact that the performance is lower...i could swap the coins to the projects i like or simply sell for btc.
profits per day (1060)
eth+dcr 39.77$
zcash 25.14$
its obviously...
Are there any issues that i could face? is dual mining dcr similar to dualmining sc or will i lose some hashpower on eth?
I only want to hear some opinions.
