So, will two 480s be 75% faster than one Nano in Vertcoin mining? This determines whether I sell my Nano or not...

the Rx480 only mines vertcoin at 7.5MH
the GTX1070 mines it at about 36MH (40MH with overclocking)

Does a Nano hash at 4.4 MH/s then? I dunno, honestly.

you said you own a nano - seems easy to find out by yourself Wink

Thanks, so is there any significant difference between powered ribbon and USB risers?
Some say that ribbon cables emits EM interference somewhere at 500MHz range (probably depends on ribbon length). Guy has been warned by some kind of telecomunication company. He build Faraday cage around his rig after that, to prevent interference. There was topic about that on bitcointalk, can't find it now.

Hi people, it's been a while since I have last time GPU mined coins, but I got myself 2 480s for start and will try to be part of Ethereum world...

I got ASRock H81 Pro BTC, but I have read mixed opinions on risers for GPUs.

I have 10 left from my BTC GPU mining days, but those are ribbon powered risers, not the USB type that is most used now days.

I have read about Power drain issues trough PCI-E connector on MB with early drivers and 480s, but it is solved now with new drivers if I am now wrong...

Question is, since MB have 2 MOLEX on it, is it a must to use USB risers or I can stick with ribbon ones I have with me? I have read somewhere that since this MB have those 2 molex on it, it can be used with non powered risers also.

Any guides?

Thanks in advance

You might be ok with 2 GPU.   But if you overclock or run more than  2 x 480 on a h81 btc, I think you will need powered usb risers.

Otherwise you risk melting wires.

4gb for $149.99 plus tax, apparently.
http://wccftech.com/amd-rx-470-460-leaked-pictured/

I am not sure that they will have 4gb at launch. They had very few of 480 4gb cards.
we shall see.

If the Ethereum hashing is as fast as the 480, then it is a good price to buy. We are not very sure about it.

The best card would be the 470. Most likely speeds will be almost the same with ETH but it will be much much cheaper and use less power.

The rumour of the price is that it is about $179, so it is just $20 cheaper than the 4GB RX 480. I hope it will be cheaper.

179$ with 4gb i think , + tax .

Anyone know hashrate with RX 480 on LBRY ?

Thanks .

Time is also money

And AMD is keeping us in the dark on the 470. In the meantime RX 480's without the PCIe problem are coming before the FE 470's let alone custom 470's with better coolers.

Saphire has their Nitro+ RX 480 coming soon. Article says next week at an unspecified date. The article was posted 3 days ago based on comments

I am just wondering what does factory overclocked cards do to mining if say I were to flash the bios with someones custom bios that is pulling 28 MH/s?

what for a mainboard have 7 ore more PCI-E slots?

The old MSI Z77A 55D or 65D supports 7 graphics cards with 7 PCIE slots. But they are quite expensive.

Yes there are MB that have 7 PCI-E and also you can buy 1 to 3 PCIE hub as well.  So if it can support more than 6 GPUs, I can push even more GPUs per MB/CPU/SSD combo.

Anyone know what is Windows 10 Maximum GPU support?  Is it still 6 GPU or have it changed to 7 or more?

Hi guys, i have a question - i want to start mining a bit later, will i have profit with 5 video cards (for example rx 480), and if yes how much it can be per day $?

With amd eth and exp is profittable now i think .

and how much $ it can be  per day? just for example .. 1,2-10?

with a 6 x 480 rig, you should do 0.7 btc each month
Thank you very much! You mean mining of btc, maybe ETH will be more profitable?

no wait, i mean mining etheruem and dumping for bitcoin, if you want to hold, then those 0.7 could be more or less but right now if you convert eth to btc you get that

Many thanks!
perhaps have other , more profitable options with an income of $ 1,000?

buy more gpu?

You can mine the Ethereum Classic, it is more profitable to mine at the moment. But it might not last long.
