Well, just an FYI the ASUS B250 Mining Expert board, which supports 19 GPUs. DOES NOT SUPPORT 19 OF THE SAME GPUs. Currently the only support configuration for 19 GPUs, as shown by BitsbeTripping(See his youtube channel) was 6- P106 Nvidia mining cards and 13 AMD GPUs. THIS IS THE ONLY SUPPORT 19 GPU CONFIG.
As for a GTX 1050(non ti) build I think we are seriously reaching bottom of barrel here. I mean you wanna experiment with it, I'd say 6-7 GPU rig AT MOST it could be a low cost/low power space heater that makes you a little coinage.
Topic: Thinking about building a 20+ gpu zcash rig with gtx 1050s - page 2. (Read 358 times)
I think if have read the effiency is not so good on 1050? If not, or power is cheap. Thats a good solution, special of the "new" prices for gpu's
Ive been looking around and havent seen anyone say anything about this idea. The gtx 1050 is one of the only cards that is reasonably priced, they can be had for around $120 on amazon, in stock. Now according to this site https://en.m.wikibooks.org/wiki/ZCash_mining_GPU_Comparison
The 1050 should yield about 150 h/s on zcash. With 20 cards in one rig, that would be 3000 h/s for about $3000.ive heard of a motherboard that can support up to 19 gpus so this would be perfect for that. I used an online calculator that stated that i would be making about 500/ month from this rig afterf factoring power consumption. Seems like a way better deal than spending that same 3k to get 3 1080s and only get half the hash rate (gtx 1080 aroind 550 each so 1650h/s for a 3 1080 rig. Theres probably something im missing making it not the best idea but it seems great to me
