Re: [ANN][DRK] DarkCoin | First Anonymous Coin | First X11 | First DGW | ASIC Resistant
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

Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised that power draw was lower than expected when I put a meter on my mining rigs. It's a 4x 7970 rig, and I added one card at a time to see the power draw. Each of them added 100W at the wall, at full load. These cards usually run 220-250W each on scrypt.
Yep, so these guys quoting one guy way back when, that mentioned the number 30% was a typical bull$ statistic
Darkcoin is so much more attractive now that it more than halves the power usage, heat, noise associated with mining it.
