EWBF isn't working on my computer, I don't understand what the problem is. I have 1 AMDR270X and 1 GTX 660. The software isn't able to run the worker. EWBF can't work if an AMD card is on the worker ? Nheqminer works, but the hashrate is realy bad Cheesy

The latest nheqminer should be as fast as this one.

No I meant GTX1080 i have both GTX1080 and GTX1070 as well as AMD RX480s. Sofar I already ROI two GTX1080 in 2month ..thanks to the ALTs :-D
I plan to invest in more 1080s and also with Asus Cash back its nice ..and also the game bundles that came with them I could sell..I made also some money back.
You just need to find the sweet spot of all ...

Very nice Smiley

Yeah i did a good operation with my FTW 1070, they were @ good price 420€ and i was able to sell the games with them for 50€ per card, 370€ price for each card, that was very good, nearly regret not buying even more of them now that this card is back at 499€ without any game  Shocked, but didn't think that 1080 could also be viable. will look

ATM on sale here GTX1080 for 569€.
un4given sort of a mix..Amazon, E-Tec, Cyberport...Mindfactory or Jacob Elektronik.

also this one on sale now @Saturn

The MSIs aren't good for mining as far as you followed some theads.
BTW the deal is not working if you go to the site the card costs 643€ per unit.

I wrote AMP! not AMP! Extreme so yes it implied 2 Fan version. Also the Extreme with 3 Fans are failing hard as I heard form the distributor.The RMA Rates here in Austria at 60% on Zotac AMP! and AMP! Extreme. they stopped selling them

Danke für this information. Was thinking about buying ZOTAC but now seems EVGA could be a better choice. Was looking on GTX 1060 Single Fan

Thanks for feedback man, i will go EVGA too then  Wink, it was 90% decided already, but you only confirm it 100%  Grin too bad thought, 5y RMA is very nice.

5years if you hassle with Zotac support you need 10years. Even I send them all video and they already had everything in their database they reuqested it over and over again unwilling to process the RMAs. So the distributor escalated this and recall the GTx1080 AMP! and pay back the buying price or exchange for other cards. Zotac Germany HQ also aware of issues but unable to do anything before the main HQ gives ack. So I have already 10 failed and of 3 RMA they also failed across various productions lines from 162xxxx to 165xxx serials.

Ah yeah i can see bad experiencs Sad, will go for EVGA then, thx for the warnings !

So I ended up with Asus Strix GTX1080 A8G - a lot better - also plenty space of cooling for summer :-D During mining with oc they stay at good 50°C at 70% Fan. I really love them - Going to replace the rest of my Zotac GTX1080 AMP! in my farm with ASUS

 Grin nice, 1080 worth buying for mining in your opinion ?  i find them very expensive and hard to roi, or did you meant 1070 maybe ?  Wink

I bet you were in business before BTC was profitable to mine. Literally cost more power then you could get out of the coin until '13 and was a hobby for most people.

That aside, funny that so many of you are hopping ship from AMD. It's like you missed the memo about efficiency two years ago. Highly suspect eth-babies.

Why pick a side when you can run both, even on the same rig?  Variety is the spice of life and it never hurts to diversify.  I do agree though with your ETH-babies theory.  

Mix/matching in the same rig can cause problems with miners, which I'm sure you'll eventually run into. You can mix match rigs though.

More of just tongue and cheek to all the AMD miners hating on Nvidia months ago.

You need that warranty I lost already 10 GTX 1080 AMP! and needed replacement because the fans are crappy. They fail after 2-3month.
I have already long RMA list at local distributor and ZOTAC is aware of the issue but don't change the fans.

Switched to ASUS STRIX and they are way cooler and better.

Guessing you had the two fan model?

I never had a mixed cards issue since I started. I even mined with amd and nvidia on the same rig. And with different miners on some cards, etc. All ok.
I guess it might have to do with drivers and OS, though.

I'm sure you've ran into scenarios where you have to run multiple miners instead of just one. Most basic compatibility issue.

I run multiple miners only when I need to: different algos, for example. Not 'cause of issues.

So the bug with Claymore and Genoil's miners for Eth where you couldn't mine in mixed systems never plagued you? You had to run two instances, one for each OCL and Cuda.

I never used claymore miners. I actually mined with fee miners very very little. And i mined ethereum very little, just a couple days.
Now that you make me think of it, I had to run multiple instances of a miner when I solo-mined SIA, at the beginning. But that was a limitation of the miner and had nothing to do with the cards or the system, and it was quickly fixed.

Right off the bat EWBF doesn't support AMD mining for instance, so you'll need to run EWBF and Claymore. Not really a bug, but doesn't support multiple systems.

Oh thx for your feedback, very useful, i'll go with EVGA if i do some 1060 rig then, im very happy with their 1070.

Isn't the amp version the one with 2 fans ? have you tried the normal 1 fan version just for info if you encountered the same issues.
