I don't even know how much money I can make or am making since it's posted above that Sol /= hash

 For Equihash coins like ZEC, sol IS = hash for all practical purposes.



 Afterburner works nicely on all of the EVGA cards I own - and I prefer the "classic" interface (the current default interface is too "pretty" and HARD TO READ and less functional imo) and lower "overhead" to PrecisionX, plus PrecisionX in my experience with it crashes a lot more often.


 Mining speed for a lot of algos depends on memory speed to a significant degree - ETH in particular is hard memory limited after a point and VERY sensitive to memory latancy - not just on raw clock rate.

 Also keep in mind that you can't set a "boost" clock, you can only set the "base" clock.

 Most cards will run the GPU at a lower voltage when the TDP is dropped, but often can maintain their boost clock for a little ways into the undervolting - how far depends on the specific chip, as manufacturing variations will affect each chip differently - this is a large part of what the "silicon lottery" is about, getting LUCKY and ending up with a card that has a GPU that undervolts well and memory/GPU that overclocks better.
