sp can you post screen about 1070 +5% boost, which would put a 1070 around 300 already
265 *1.05 = 278.25

(on average, not considering too high settings, that are simply useless in a multigpu environment given the absence of rock solid stability)
@bensam: you're not the only one with a "decent" amount invested in cryptos, but there's also a thing callededucation and mutual respect. I understand your frustration in such discussions, but it should be better if you both ignore each others; it's a nonsense to continue like this in every thread you both collide.
@sp: would you be so kind to post hashrates with a human, achievable, frequency? A common 1070, even custom, barely reaches 2000MHz in stability without thermal and power throttling (in a multigpu setup obviously, due thermal complications). Interesting findings about the memory controller btw. Have you measured the difference between the reference values (TDP 150) and TDP to 170 + forced p0 state? Such tests would be much more interesting with watt measures. What's you model of 1070?
Thanks
no that is wrong, you need to check the maximum which is 290MH done by a guy here and with 5% is above 300MH
just see few posts back, and anyway i'm at 280 with mine also, which would put me at around 295....
There is no 'maximum' we should all be doing the same speed on the same kernels at the same clocks as long as we aren't limited by TDP. This is why your logic is bat shit insane, you don't even have any idea how mining actually works. There is no way for someone to do faster with the same hardware unless their clocks/tdp/drivers/OS are different and in weird cases memory types (such as with Ethereum). Most cases Windows 7/8 are all the same, occasionally W10, but usually it's just slower.
Which is why on the last page rednow corrected himself and fell inline with speeds everyone else is getting. The only other thing that could possible effect it is intensity, but default intensity is almost always spot on.
This completely puts aside that you're comparing apples to oranges. rednoW isn't magically going to get the same speed as another guy on the other page running at 290Mhs, nor is it magically going to be 5% higher unless everything I posted above is the same, but it isn't... Mentioning hashrate without clocks or other information is dumb... even more so when people try to 'pad' their scores.
I don't know if anyone is interested but 970 to do 150MH I need to limit power to 120 watts (70% tdp), 160MH needs 140 watts (82% tdp).
Max these 8-pin cards can consume is 196 watts at 120% tdp.
Still more efficient then AMD... Still not bad, it's last gen hardware and costs half as much as a 1070. XD
Here is my score with 1070 and 1080 Palit SJS 3 + 3 on a single rig
EDIT: Thats with open - source miner...
Nice to see a 1080 getting somewhere around where it should be.
