so its a month early, but do you think ethminer will be able to support the new GTX 1080 and 1070? They are CRAZY powerful and efficient. I'm excited
Don't expect miracles from the 10x0 wrt ETH mining. The memory bandwidth is about on par with the 980Ti, so unless they have made fundamental changes to the memory controller, resulting in better random access bandwidth, it will be just about as fast. But because of its compute power, a dual-algo miner with ETH (like Claymore's for AMD) seems the best use of its resources.
well i currently have a GTX 980, so I guess it would be an update for me. I primarily game though, and mine overnight, so its a win win. I hope maybe these new cards with the new drivers make Windows 10 mining issues a thing of the past? or do you foresee me still having to boot into windows 7 or linux
