Armor is getting hotter than Gaming.
ROG should be decent but expensive usually.

Hey guys i had a question, i once bought a sapphire 480s used and they were running lile champs but i had money problems and had to sell them, now i have more extra cash so i'd like to buy more cards, i was looking on amazon (probably the only site that delivers to my country) and the rx 470s caught my eye, they're cheaper and they get (i think) almost the same hashrate, the MSIs seem a good choice but would it be worth it to buy the gaming edition instead of the armor? They're going to be run in a pretty decent (or hot) surroundings (about 30-40 celsius), the price difference with shipping and taxes and all is about 60 dollars (picking 4 msi armor vs 2 armor and 2 gaming). I couldn't find sapphires in a decent price, also asus rog looks good, anyone had any experiences with those?

isn't the 560-570-580 series just a rebranding of the actual GPU ?
I red an article about them ... it was saying not much performance improvement but better power usage.
We don't have any idea of what the actual new chip will do with mining force task.

From what I've read, too, the 560, 570, and 580 will be "rebadged" Polaris chips. Higher clock rate, but fundamentally the same cards.
They will most likely release updated Fury and Nano cards in late May. They will actually be "game changing" cards with a new microarchitecture: HBM2 memory, new computer units with expanded instructions per clock
I have Nano rigs - love them. Small and power packed (64 compute cores)
They are champion esp ZEC; at stock they deliver up to 440 sol/s per card.
They have HBM and ZEC seems to love fast memory (especially Optiminer)
Even if HBM2 50% faster, I think its a big boost vs the rest of the cards.
For example... RX480 8GB non-HBM = up to 300 sol/s only but performs better in ETH.
The only bad thing about this Fiji series is..... its expensive.
Hope the new Nano is not sold at premum like the Gen 1 cards.

all my decred crashed an I am loaded with rejects I switched to pascal
anyone have the decred reject issue.
same here !anyone have the decred reject issue.
my nicehash dashboard showed 0 speed on dcr and my 2 rigs started getting 100% rejects as of last night. so this morning i switched to eth only.
Yeah I gave up and I am doing all eth.
Saves a lot of power. About 700 watts
eth is crazy right now...will it last?
good question
better question is not will it last
but how high does it go to before it drops ?
another good question is if it peaks at 110 usd and it could when is the peak?
How about it peaks right about 1 month after amd drops the 500 series miners?
Think how much they will cost!
I don't know if Ethereum can raise that much, to hit 110 usd we are talking a 9 billion market cap and bitcoin will take a hard hit.
If it does happen stacking your eth coins will be important, rather than expanding farm size.
Also if bitcoin continues to lose value, selling eth to bitcoin will be a way to lose your money. Some people are calling this the flipping where Ethereum takes over as the dominate coin. There is a lot of uncertainly in the market, for the first time holding bitcoin could be a bad idea ( short term anyway).
One more thing...Difficulty is getting out of control, 20% increase in the last week alone. If Ethereum takes a break and other gpu coins gain value then that will help.

sold my last ETH at 51$ and I´m fine with it so far... you never know if it was right until it drops or doubles 
I was also in similar dilemma about selling my hoard of DCR but finally sold them at 5.10 (bought at 2.30)....
....I had enough BTC to get the new Pandaminer but it wasnt meant to be - sold out as soon as it appeared on their webpage.

Gen1 !
March 17, 2017, 09:28:55 AM
Thanks for trying to help.
Yes generally it's caused by the cable missing, but for this rigs I have a screen plugged.
And it's 2 to 3 of the 4 GPUs that are at 4mh, not just one.
I've tryied the reboots with no luck.

Do you have your pcie lane set to gen2 or gen1

I'm trying simplemining for the first time on a 4 GPUs Rig, and have an issue :
two GPUs are at 2 to 4mh/s instead of 25
(rx470 not overclocked yet as I'm just starting)
any ideas

4 MH/s is usually caused by there not being an HDMI cable plugged in. Try adding monitor to test and reboot.
I usually just try to restart the mining software, but if you're using SM, you may just need to reboot?

In NH, I think when hash is over demand, it will be rejected.... decred hash oversold in NH?
With ETH so good, I prefer to push the rig to do 100% ETH with maximum -ethi 16
ETH strength continues to amaze! Luckily, I have just been banking all my mined ETH in preparation for the eventual move to POS. I know it's not a ton but I had 50 shares before the blow-up the last week or so and very glad I had help them now for sure. A few days ago when it almost hit $30 then dropped back down around $26, I almost sold some around $28 when I saw it starting to drop, but i didn't pull the trigger. Now with it at $45 I am looking at its ratio to BTC and its crazy... only about 1:25, which would have been unthinkable just over a week ago.
However, as good as ETH is, DCR has been on fire as well... hit $6 a while ago now back around $5 but that's still quite impressive. I have never tried pushing my rigs past default intensity on ETH but Im runing default 8 on ETH and 40 on DCR and getting right around 1 share of each per day (only 12 of 16 cards are doing DCR though because 1 rig can't seem to do dual for some reason). It's a bit different for me since i am holding most of both coins and not auto-converting to BTC via NH, but either way, it's a great time to be a miner!
