actually yes in Hash/watt ratio, but maybe not in $/Hash ratio

RX 480 does 31 - 32MH/s at under 150W.

Is that Ethereum mining only? I saw Eliovp can achieve 31 MH/s + SC mining with 100 W measured from GPUZ, but from the wall.

i've seen the same hash at 90w, 80w maybe i was confusing with something else

i know but a 1070 can do 30 at 80w

Never seen 80W for 30MH/s on a 1070 - link?

i can't find it, i'll do a test myself....and post the result

libcurl error can connect anymore to anypool..... wtf

ok...it need some tweaking, but bears in mind that you can go higher with the mem, i just don't want to do it, because my gpu can not be overclocked very high with the mem, i get artifact but i know people that went at +1000...

also last drivers did something bad, i was doing better with the 369.09

i'm only able to reproduce 28-29MH at 100w

I think that Nvidia are better on Mhash/W .. So if u do not have cheap energy go for it.
Otherwise AMD is the best choice.

Congratulations to those who are still having good profits by mining it.

I think these are the miners who have lower than $0.15/kWh electricity. If the difficulty rises as fast as before, they will not be profitable soon.

I pay 0.25 dollar /kWh and use the old 7970 to mine the Eth. I will not be profitable to mine in the next few weeks.

The Ethereum mining difficult is too high. For the ETH difficulty, it is all time high, if you add ETC, that is 20% higher.

I will just use the existing rigs to mine and will not expand. The big mining operations will move to China eventually.

If you have cheap electricity, you can buy the AMD RX 480, that is quite efficient, you can mine at 31 MH/s using around 150W.

I was wondering if ethereum mining is still profitable. So what do you say?

Is it still profitable to mine ethereum with GPUs and CPUs?


with GPU I suppose still profit

Where do you buy a lottery ticket with a 50/50 chance to win ?

Mine/buy and hold for a year or two, cross your fingers and hope you are on the right 50% side.
My electricity cost is an longterm investment in my own future.

No no
ETH not profitable anymore to mine
Except you got free rigs and electricity

true statement, if you pay over 40 cent per kwh of energy. most of us pay 15 cent or less, so ETH mining ist still profitable atm

If you use some kind of undervolting and reduce the frequency of the core or memory, it is still profitable.

Miners tend to overvolt and overclock. That will make their ROI faster if their electricity price is low.,

Real stupid miners, you mean. UNDERVOLT and overclock.

It depends on the graphics cards. I usually undervolt and underclock to get better efficiency as I have high electricity price.

Because you have sense. Overvolting is almost always done for "vanity" hashrate records, people who don't care, or people who simply have more money than sense.

I also undervolt my 7970. The difficulty is still rising. I might have to undervolt and increase the efficiency again.

I use the AMD R9 390, I undervolt it to below 1000 mV and frequency  is around 970 MHz. It is quite efficient.

It is quite efficient if you under volt and under clock. But if you pay high electricity price, it will not be profitable soon.

The Ethereum difficulty is all time high at present. If you add the difficulty of the ETC, it is 20% more. So not so profitable.
