i'm running six 1070 with a 1000w, so 850 is overkill for 3
100% agree with you
I have rigs with 4x1070 Gigabyte G1 on 850w PSU (superflower good old one). But they are ok with their 6 pin conectors.
But the MSi 1070 has 8+6 pin, so i left the rig with 3 cards... (the psu is an overkill in power, but ran out of connectors).
btw, i feel nvidia miners lost its momentum... LBC is not what it used to be.. other algos are not optimized for pascal yet... my roi went from 7 months to more than a year...
actually my whole system including the six gpu is consuming only 850-870w, plus 80w of inefficiency of the psu which is at 91%
this is 130-135w per gpu basically
I remeber you said that is 180MH/s some where. So it is about 135/30 or 4.2J/MH. That is very efficient.
that with ethereum, with etheruem consumption is even lower, around 700w for 180MH, with lbry 800w with 1660MH
