Re: [ANN][DRK] DarkCoin | First Anonymous Coin | First X11 | First DGW | ASIC Resistant
Can someone tell me what is the usual darkcoin power usage compared to scrypt? Lower, higher? I need a specific value for the hashrate you get. Best would be for udnervolted 280x or 290.
I am trying to add darkcoin to my site and need this data.

People often quote 30% decreased electricity usage, I haven't tested this personally so I can't vouch for that number.
I have 280x and 290 (not undervolted) and I get
2.29 Mhash for 280x
2.55 Mhash for 290
Also temps are ~10-15C cooler, which helps the stability bigtime.
Here is a table with other user's numbers: https://docs.zoho.com/sheet/published.do?rid=12cbm2fe8ce55abb2476daa0f8c576b442d40&mode=html
Can happily tell you guys that the power saving is HUGE. Assisted a fellow miner move from scrypt to X11 with 4x 280x on a celeron with dual 750w power supplies. Power consumption on scrypt was 1410w from the wall with reader. All on Darkcoin - 552W from the wall - overclocked as much as possible to pull 2172KH per card. Temps dropped from 74` on average to 58` with fan speeds on 35% (range in config was 35-85%).
Those paying for power, switch now and save
