ICO? Not even once.
Basically all of them if they're properly optimized or doesn't have a bottleneck like memory.

Groestl variants and Neoscrypt comes to mind first but different algos stress the cards differently, so while you could get a high memory OC for groestl, for example, that might crash the card on a much lighter but more memory heavy algo.

I think the most power hungry algorithm can be equihash and the least power hungry can be lyra2z or cryptonite.

Hi,

I am testing OC settings and stability in my new multi GPU rig.
What is most demanding and power hungry miner, from your experience? I would like to use that for some time to test settings and GPU stability.
I am using Nicehash, so I could switch algo without problem. I have Nvidia 1070 cards.
