If you were going to build a gpu rig literally tomorrow. . What would you guys be ordering and why? Budget is 3k

a nice ZEC rig with a 4 x 1080ti comes to mind.

the best price I got was 669 - 8% for a 1080ti that was 615 usd with 6 months to pay it 0 payments 0 fees.

If I could get that deal for four cards and the mobo+ parts I would jump on it.

I would most likely have the rig earn full ROI before the 6 months came up.

Maybe a 6x470 4gb rig. would be about 2k budget tops or probably closer to 1.5k if you get good deals/rebates/used parts

simpleMiningOs Stupid question ... 1 account/email can mining only one coin with all the rigs ?

yes

but

new version has grouping feature that will cease the need to have multiple emails to mine different algos

Thanks !!

on my six gpu 1070 rig i found that i can dual mine eth and dcr at 980 or so watt while zec muning at 2500 has uses 950

dual mining is 170 eth and 3500 dcri , which is more profitable than zec

this is with core +122 mem +500 and power lim 70

From your figures it seems your ZEC efficiency is only 2.6 Sol/W (2500/950) which is a bit low unless you are going all out for performance

With some fine tuning and lowering your power targets you should be able to get to 3+ Sol/W

he is also pushing the psu pretty hard. those evga will lose some efficiency at 950 watts

I have a lot of 3 card rigs and a 750 watt evga which is 750/3 = 250

he is 1000/6 = 166.67 has to have less overhead which could be hard on setup.

but his eth/dcr dual is nice.

if he were to run 5 cards on the rig vs six I thinks his watts to hash would improve for both coins

you guys use what for Zcash ? Nicehash ?

I'm just using Claymore miner directly to Nanopool, then wallet. Selling 50% every 3-4 days when I see highs.

well it starts high at like 2666 zec at first then for some reason some of the cards throttle down frim 460 zec to 400
then stablizes at around 2500

It's changing P states. See above. Try this, I'd be curious if you can get it to work. Which driver version do you have?

zec of 2500h using 950 watts?

what psu do you use.

I don't do six card rigs but my 3 card rigs are all 3.1h to 1 watt you are 2.63 h to 1 watt

I am interested as to why you are not as efficient as my setups.

I do all plat or titanium psu's

psu might be the issue using a 1000 watt evga p2 platinum
I inly use platinum psu as well

what are your msi after burner settings

Looks like your 1070 is hashing fine.

Your card isn't mostly in p2 state while mining, not p0.

There's ways to force it via the built in nvidia tools, or to use kboost in precision x 16.

Follow the batch link in my sig for info on forcing p0 state. 3 links deep.

I opened up the nvidia control panel applet in the windows settings, and my hash rate jumped from 390 to 460 H/s. The rendering of the spinning nvidia logo made the card jump to a higher performing state. Power went from 50W to 80W, though, as reported by Afterburner. What is a reasonable power draw for the 1070?

Well those first 390h you are at 7.8 h to 1 watt which is really good.

When you are at 460h you are at 5.75 h to 1 watt which is not as good but still good.

I measure at the wall with a kwatt meter and I do 3.3 h per watt.

I know at the wall is more power used . I am not sure what my afterburner shows for power since I run windows 7 .

I also use kill-a-watt at the wall; software is almost always off.

The accuracy of Nvidia-smi (what ewbf uses to calculate your hash/watt) depends on what model 1070 you are using. For example in Linux; an EVGA FTW 1070 at 118 powerlimit uses the same amount of power at the wall as a zotac mini 1070 at 125 powerlimit.

Using 125 watts (at the wall) should be the optimal hash/watt if you have reasonable power costs.

I found this article on how to manually set the P state. http://cryptomining-blog.com/tag/p0-power-state/ But... my version of the driver 381.65 does NOT return the power state table, so I'm unsure of what to set. I'll experiment with values and see what happens.
