GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 970 [GV-N970WF3OC-4GD 1.0]
GPU 1264MHz (+150)/ mem 1753MHz (lock) / VDDC 1.2V (lock)
Rig idle 70W
-- ccminer-1.5.69-git-spmod --
Lyra2REv2 - 9.5MH/s - 155W (Rig 225W)
X11- 8.7MH/s - 175W (Rig 245W)
Quark- 18MH/S - 220W (Rig 290W)

Thanks for testing the watt usage.

The GV-N970WF3OC is a great card, but it use too much power to mine.. A low profile card with 2 6pins connectors is only using 150-180W mining quark. But the hashrate is not 18MHASH, more like 15,5.

So the last 2,5 MHASH is with a cost of 40WATT.

Yes but you can get the same efficiency from the bigger OC cards as well if you limit them (old pic):

But the OC cards have the benefit to push more hash when the profitability is high enough for you not to care about a small loss in hash/watt.
