Phoenix miner with a 470 8gb, showing 61w of power draw at 25 mh.
Working on reducing power as my electric price goes up 12% today (from 15.5 cents to 17.36).
Running the card at 1100/2000 HWinfo shows 936,000 GPU memory errors in about 12 hours.
Had 2 stales during that time, PM shows poolside has rate of 23.7 (vs 25 miner hashrate).
Dropped it to 1080/1950. Have zero GPU errors in 2 hours (too soon to judge), hash rate is 24.5,Phoenix says poolside now has 25.82 with the same power draw.
So, just how important is it to eliminate GPU memory errors? I have not checked any of the cards/rigs in years.
well the rate that matters is the pool not phoenix or smos.
Ie my 3 card 3080 at viabtc rates at
280.73 mh on smos as phoenix states 6841 shares 4 bad
on viabtc I rate 278.22m last day. this is what the real number is or what they pay on. 278.22 x 4.8 cents = 13.35 a day
if I crank up my ram I will do 5% bad shares
and earn very close to the same each day. maybe $14 a day. use more power and stress the ram more.
to me <1% share errors is good.
5%> share errors is bad.
and pool number is the real payment number.
I would not run my 470 card with the high errors you mention
the low setting is most likely better for you.
I Think 61w i really low wattage, maybe give little more power and run the card with 1130/1950, most RX470 card can run 27-30Mh/s.
