Topic: Ethereum mining still profitable? - page 15. (Read 131200 times)
It's not profitable for me anymore, the difficulty is too high,I generate about ~$6.50 a day mining Eth.dwarfpool
I generate about ~$4.50 a day mining Eth. Power consumption is about $0.45.
Profitable yes, super duper omg profitable, no.
Fun hobby tho.
But hey a ~90ish day RoI for GPU mining is ALOT better than a ~400 day RoI for the new S9 miners....

Goddamn I love this driver. You need to write your own tools, but the functionality is there. That's just a small part of what I can control.
is that new AMD's API?Goddamn I love this driver. You need to write your own tools, but the functionality is there. That's just a small part of what I can control.
does it allow you to change voltage?
It's the new kernel driver in Linux
yeah i found it but it states this is for amdgpu driver, which is "open source graphics driver for the latest AMD Radeon graphics cards".
does amdgpu suports opencl mining?
have control over every item listed there, and plenty more not listed besides :3
did you check it actually changes voltage?
Of course I did, I'm not retarded. I drop it and it crashes at previously stable clocks, I bring it up and can feel more heat - the cards are less than a foot away from me.
It's not profitable for me anymore, the difficulty is too high to compensate. I am planning to get better equipment soon, but i'm not sure if I am going mine eth these days.
I actually mine with 7950 AMD gpu and I really do not care about the price/hash coz I will only sell when I get enough profit. Price of ETH goes up and down. I do not stop mining and sell my coin at a good price and make some profit. hat is it
Is your electricity over $0.25/kWh? If so, you might make some loss if you do not undercock.
I undervolt all my 7950.
It is $0.125/kwh in my area. BTW how much hashes do you get after underclocking ?
I have a AMD reference 7950, I under volt it to 0.881 V, the frequency is 795/1000MHz. The hash rate is about 13MH/s. I do not know the wattage.
Set it to 0.950V and 950/1500 and dual mine SIA, you will get combined hashrate of 20MH/s and your efficiency will be the same.
Do you have the 7970? I have a few 7970 or 280x. I would llike to increase the efficiency as well. Shall I dual mine?

We hope the Ethereum price to rise soon.
Keep dreaming... even 1 month ago, I was earning $1.5 from a single gpu. Today $1 is hard to earn. Still people are mining ethereum ?
It's still profitable for me on my AMD rigs - though the profitability has dropped about a quarter over the last couple months.
Profitability has dropped enough on my GTX 950 and GTX 960 based rigs that I dropped them from their "only intended to do it a short time to help pay for them" Ethereum mining to doing their originally intended purpose. I figure they probably paid for over half the cost of the video cards (I already HAD most of the rest of the hardware involved) over the course of the last couple months for the GTX 960s, and the GTX 950s are pretty much paid for as they were mining longer *AND* cost quite a bit less.
Those rigs *ARE* still profitable - it's just that the GPUs involved aren't very good for Ethereum, while they CAN do some other "more usefull" stuff while pulling in a fairly close profit level.
I'm debating seriously about building a few GTX 1070 based rigs - will probably mine with them for a while if I do, then shift to the same stuff I'm doing with the GTX 9xx rigs now, as the 1070 makes a TON more hashrate for not all that much more power. The questions there involve "they make more per watt, but they also COST a lot more per $ income" and I'm starting to push limits hard on both available cash AND available power.....
GTX 1070 is a MUCH better card for Ethereum mining overall than the GTX 1080 - very similar hashrate, same or lower power efficiency, FAR LESS COST.
GTX 1080 kicks on gaming and certain other usages, but for Ethereum it's a waste of money.
I use the AMD 7970 cards. If I use the stock settings, it is not profitable for me. So I have to undervolt and underclock.
If you pay $0.3 /kWh, it will not be profitable to mine with old cards. We hope the Ethereum price to rise soon.

where you got your 7970 ?? is it still in the market ? i heard with mod it is one of the best card now which give bang for the buck.

I think it depends if what GPU are you using if you have only low specs of GPU you can only earn cents per day.. now many people are mining ethereum so the rewards is decreasing and many people are buying more effective and high performance GPU and increase the GPU in there mining rig..
So if you have more GPU mining its still profitable..
So if you have more GPU mining its still profitable..
That is right. If you have the old GPU like the 7970, the efficiency is low, it will become less profitable soon.
If it is RX480, it is more profitable.
if you want to buy new GPU, it will cost even more dollars. Reinvest for ETH mining is not that much worthy. At least old gpu will mine something without any investment.
Do you know any other coins worth mining more than the Ethereum? The Ethereum will become PoS in a few months.
I think the Ethereum is still the most profitable to mine for most people. The next good one could be the ZCash.
