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
170-200 against 460-500 here. Second hand/ open box under warranty. F..., if I needed some lbry power right now I need to buy back my maxwells.
C is about to change lbry mining markets if you ask me.
