Do you use Windows MSI Afterburner to undervolate the 390? What is the undervolate level? What is the maximum you can do? Is that over -100 mV?
Yes, afterburner. Maximum is -100mV on both cards.

Do you use Windows MSI Afterburner to undervolate the 390? What is the undervolate level? What is the maximum you can do? Is that over -100 mV?
Yes, afterburner. Maximum is -100mV on both cards.
Yeah, I noticed.
It is drawing exactly the same power as my new R9 380X (150W) and the hash is the same - 20MH/s.
Core/Mem freq are +200 now to 1402/3601.
Maybe there is a coolbit option to enable under/overvolting?
Speaking of which - I am not able to find a way to undervolt my 380X card in Linux...
Gone are the days when you could mod the BIOS with tools like VBE...

You are right, there is some false information floating around on these forums. 20-22MH correctly tuned takes exactly the same wattage on both platforms. Pump up the mem if you want to see where strix really goes, 4000MHz minimum, +20W.
It takes some kind of voodoo to make gpu tuning work in linux imo but when that happens there is a nice reward.
Where I live you can find 390's openbox at ~260€. They overclock & undervolt (well I only have two) really well.
Hi antantti
I guess you are on Windows since you can undervolt your 390s? If you are in Linux then could you please share with me how
to do it?
Yep, right now my mining rigs are all windows. Last time I needed to undervolt amd in linux I had to flash bios.

Yep, right now my mining rigs are all windows. Last time I needed to undervolt amd in linux I had to flash bios.
The main reason I do not use Linux is that it does not have many support software. I use MSI afterburner a lot to control cards.

The Ethereum price has droped from 0.031 to 0.021, that is about 30% drop. Last time, during the correction, the price dropped from 0.017 to 0.008. We may have more to drop.
i doubt it will drop under 0.015, and in any case it is still profitable to mine, around 0.01 or a bit more per card
If the price is above $3 and the difficulty does not rise. It is still profitable to mine. But the profit is marginal.
There is risk in building the new rigs. If you build the new rig and the difficulty rise and the price drop, you cannot mine at more.
Yeah, I noticed.

this is because you need to oc the 970 because they are more limited in the access for the memory(i don't remember now) when mining ethereum versus amd

wow 2k eth, for how much?
1 btc which i think at the time was around 500 usd ..
Had to be the best investment i made so far in crypto But i havent sold so i guess unless i was to do that then i cant say definitively but i feel we have much more upside to go.. I was nervous it was going up way to fast.. needed to consolidate for a bit.. then the next push can start... 
Have any of you solominer's or pool's for that matter seen this issue yet.. And do any of you in the "know" have an idea when we will get binaries with this fix in it..

you made 50x congratz
The block chain is growing too fast. Is there a proposal to reduce the size? Can the data be compressed in the protocol level?
I have the same thought. It will be good if there is a method to compress the blockchain size in some way and then client decompressa range of block numbers let say for each 100000 blocks (Compressed) when a user type in a Block height.

Hi all,
Does anyone know how to get the highest hashing speed out of a GTX 970?
I have an ASUS Strix 970 and it wont do more than ~17MH/s
I keep seeing people claim this card can do ~22MH/s.
I tried this
sudo nvidia-smi -ac 3505,1202
this puts memory clock to max, and core to 1202, which should be sufficient for Eth.
Upping core freq does nothing.
Output from nvidia-smi -q:
Any help on this is much appreciated.
