6x vega 56 flashed with 64 bios running 43.7mh @ 867/1100 with 825/900mv using totall 1250w for the whole system.
nice!!
current kWh cost for us here is $0,04 so our focus has been on max stable speeds rather than elec use
https://www.ssb.no/elkraftpris/price is in Norwegian Kroner for household consumption
we are using these tests to solidify a larger plan involving a private mining farm with over 250 GPU's as a start and have come to an understanding with the local elec supplier to have less than $0,034kWh cost. Time will tell....
That is maybe a quarter electricity cost that I have, thats super low. Norway has cheap energy why ? I know they have oil but its usually hydro power local to the users that creates cheap power due to excessive rainfall perhaps or other local factors.
Buying Vega is still a very expensive way to enter mining but I believe Vega will be the premier card for another two years and still retain its value so it makes some sense. The biggest wrong turn here is ETH is not the most profitable coin to mine, I think XMR runs fastest on Vega unless the power factor changes that.
The main reason to mine ETH would be to keep it not cash it out to BTC or USD. ETH could possibly appreciate further from here as its breaking a downtrend, most would think BTC would rise faster.
A farm has a fast enough turnover to mine XMR and then buy ETH if they wanted, thats probably still cheaper to do.
Almost average 45mh for ETH mining sounds good though. What power draw does gpu-z show for comparison sake, I have 180w at 43.5mh, I think this could be improved but Im not running a big farm and its stable
