I estimate it:

~60W 750Ti
~180W 970

OK, thx for sharing your mining and rig info.

Quark, using ccminer-SP_mod, both cards moderately overclocked:

750Ti: 6.5 Mhash/sec
970: 16.0 Mhash/sec
What wattage per card do you know? 240 watts for both cards is very nice and must stay cool doing the summer, I do have an extra mobo around, may need to try an Nvidia setup.

kingcolex, you are way out-of-touch.

nividia kills it on quark algo.
eh I don't mine quark, not even sure which coin usually uses it. I mine neoscrypt personally and my amd cards do very well.

Yeah?

Max 240 Watts consumption for ~0.010 BTC per day (recent payrates) mining quark on WestHash using one GTX 750Ti and one GTX 970.

You?
Good for you, I currently am running around 1.4mh/s on neoscrypt and it is pretty steady on price on reliable payouts, calculators are definitely wrong as I will get around 600 coins a day so about .03 btc a day, but congrats on your .01 for only two cards, it is very impressive.

Thx.

What cards and how many of them to get that hashrate? You are getting 3x what I am, so I am also impressed.

I have tried neoscrypt, as the ~7.7 BTC/GH/day payrate seems nice, but the much lower hashrate compared to quark makes it less profitable. (for me)

Seems you mine the coin(s) directly, not via a multipool/rig rental site. What coin(s)?

Thanks in advance for the info.
Well I am using a lot more wattage and cards than you but I have a nice $.06/kw electric rate, I have 3 7970, (one currently not minning i need to put a fan on) , 3 7950s, 2 270x. I am mining feather directly instead of a neoscrypt multipool as it has been stable on feather being the highest usually. So what is the hashrate you are getting from the 750ti?  Whattomine has it at 23.5 mh/s and I have no clue what the 970 has.

I only fire up my rigs now a days to solo mine a new coin if I catch it at the very beginning of its launch. Usually get a few good blocks before the mad hash power of rented rigs pours in.

No clue why you bought Nvidia gpu's and why not cheap used AMD cards that will work with every algorithm a lot easier and usually better. Hopefully you didn't order those cards new.
nice quote from 3 years ago... time for you to find a new one though...
nvidia work also with every algo  Roll Eyes (and probably with more algo... and is lot easier to use than sgminer...)

In many case it is faster than amd and as a lower power consumption
Could you link me some stats with comparisons for that? I am truly interested to see the comparison to 7970's and other amd cards.
I don't have a precise link, however if you browse through ccminer thread, you will probably find these info.

trmntr

use latest sp_'s ccminer, check in corresponding thread.
960's are good in quark mining, especially with light overclock.
nicehash is the best option to sell quark power now, use yaamp as backup pool.
For lyra mining (also on top nowadays) 960 with only 128bit membus will be seriously memory performance constrained with current lyra2re ccminer implementation.
Also check neoscrypt algo ...

Because where I live is a lot easier to resell Nvidia cards than AMD ones. And are more energy efficient I can stack more vga's with less power supplies.

I paid 150 each new ones, any clue on what to mine?
I know that nvidia cards are able to mine x11 competitively so you may want to check out other algorithms and see which ones have mining software developed for them.
