First let me say thanks to Vosk for the insightful video. Although i had been following BCI for some time, even i learned some new things. @Vosk for the Q&A, when you called out Aaron Mathis, he was still there. And a shout out to Aaron Mathis for following the stream and also clarifying some points in the comments.
I was happy to see a project move to ProgPOW. And its not my first experience with BCI, as i was mining with my z9mini prior to the move to ProgPOW.
I was on my ETH OC settings since pools opened up last week. Today, i tuned by OC settings to optimize for ProgPOW.
Since tuning OC settings i got a 20% increase in my hashrates. Not bad with a little tinkering. But the drawback is the power. At these new hashrates, my power draw increased 35%. Most of my GPUs were capped between 80 & 100 TDP on ethash. With ProgPOW, all are 100 or over with my 1080s at 150 TDP.
With these 2 mining rigs, I am back to the power consumption which i was at before shutting down my 3rd rig to save power...
I'll try for a couple days to see the gains but at this power cost, i am thinking to go back to ethash.
