If you want the cards to last for a long time it will limit their use on dual mining.
dual mining stresses a lot your GPU.
however if you want mining in dual mode my council is eth/etc + decred
Is this an actual thing? I have never heard that dual mining is any worse on your gpus. I was under the impression that only reason you can dual mine Eth with a select number of other altcoins was because the algorithms have minimal overlapping in what they demand from your GPUs.
Dual mining is more stress for the vga card for sure , but im not sure about dual mining is what really shortening the lifetime for the vga cards. I think mining with those cards is shortening the cards lifetime anyway
Dual mining is more stress , more power usage for the cards , Mining ETH with my own modded bioses consume around 100-120 watts at the wall , dual mining ETH/DCR pulling around 150-170 watts at the wall , depend on the dcri value with claymores miner . The metered watts are not from software measurement....
Im dual mining DCR and ETH for long time, on some of my rigs close to 2 years without a single fan replacement .
My 6 rx 570 rig is at 860-870 watts, mv 900, modded bios, I get about 172 Mh. One card refuses to work over 25 Mh. Dcri 6.
All cards are Sapphire. I forgot about my XFX RX 460 working on 10 Mh - unmodded.
Do you know If there would be any gains by modding bios and overclocking memory of RX 460?
