Hi all,
May I ask for a little advice - I have been mining zec for 6 months now. I have 6GPU's - a mixture of 7970's and 7950's.
Am I still better mining Zcash or should I switch back to Ether? - I remember reading somewhere that ethereum mining uses less power?
any advice appreciated.
thanks
ZEC uses less power, *AND* you will definitely see better return on the 7970 (and probably the 7950) on ZEC.
Also, not sure if your 7950 CAN mine ETH any more - is it 2GB or 3GB?
2 GB cards CAN'T mine ETH as the DAG file is too large.
I don't have a 7970 - but I do have R9 280x which was the same GPU paired with a little faster (by default) ram and has pretty much the same performance on mining.
Many thanks for this. The results on whattomine.com show that Zec is better for 7970 and 7950 so that concurs with your advice.
I will stick to mining Zec for now. I may invest in some 480's eventually and start mining some ether again.
