So, when it comes to Ethash, the Acorn will increase Nvidia's UP TO 10%, and AMD's UP TO 15%. And you need minimum 1 acorn per 4 GPU's, so best case scenario is you're getting about $0.45 per day boost. the Cle-101 is $200, so it'll take over 400 days for ROI.
Am I missing something?
I know it may save some energy, but most people run at 75% TDP anyway.
Well, I personally dont care if acorn will gave me 15% hashrate increase, but energy cost are my big problem, so if acorn really reduce energy cost at 60% this is really good deal for me, if I got 15% hashrate increases better, if not I dont care about.
But are you really running your cards at 100% TDP to reap the benefits of the 60-75% power draw? You can get that through afterburner for free. I have my rigs running at 80% TDP. Some people go all the way down to 65% TDP through afterburner.
