@Nikolaj: Which exact model of ZOTAC is that you have , mate: https://www.zotac.com/product/graphics_card/gtx-970/all
If I know right - ZOTAC is te brand with the most OverClockable cards ,which I wish to take a hand on...

ZT-90105-10P

with this:

Later on I'll publish an article with this beauty





I've used this model of 970 in comparison also with 1070s and a 1080, on Neoscrypt/Blake2b/LBRY and Lyra2ReV2, here:

You can't just throw a completely different configuration at a different benchmark and compare the two. The whole reason I asked him for a screenshot running Epsylons. I have 970s and have also ran Epsylons, it's not the same thing.

I've just posted a screenshot with all the infos, and I was responding to him. Relax. If you have data to show, it's gladly accepted, but I prefer to let the data speak for me. I suggest you do the same.

Other than that, the platform it's insignificant because of:

- the OS it's still on windows, so no difference
- my VGA is connected to a 16X PCIE slot, I suppose that he've done the same
- the VGA chips are the same
- the driver identical

the only difference it's the kernel typology and frequency, but it's all shown in the images, and frankly speaking if you have got something different, why don't you show it? Give me some data, not speculations. It's pretty clear that the power consumption it's different, just look at the values reported by the softwares.

Afterburner 106% gpuz 123.2%?

That's why the only good reading it's at the wall, with a good watt-meter Wink

With LBRY sp-mod private #1 my gigabyte g1 gaming does around 190mhash @ 1600core. G1 gaming has a tdp of 250watt and 4pin+3pin.
I'll set up a screenshot later when I have time.

My kernel has a 0% memory controller load and can be used in dual mining with etherum. The opensource has 26% memory load and use more power and cannot be used in dual mining.

In release #2 I will include a new intensity switch for dual mining

Interesting, thanks. Looking forward to it, especially for pascal. (you mean 8+6 I suppose, a bit more than mine, reference, with 2x6pin PCIE). With this profitability by the way what we need to seek is efficiency, so pushing to the limit a maxwell card would probably lower the efficiency ratio, expressed in W/MH. The pascal architecture here it's the clear winner, especially the 1070s. The 1080 unfortunately cannot achieve the same results if you downclock them, they are tied to the '70s.

The fact that your kernel seems to be more energy efficient than the opensource variant, it's a clear advantage.
