I want to build my own rig for ETH and i have dillema about graphics cards, which one to buy and use.
I would like to hear your opinion about this cards:
1. EVGA 08G-P4-5173-KR GTX 1070 SC Black Edition ACX 3.0, price 495,70
2. EVGA GTX 1060 SSC GAMING 6GB GDDR5, ACX 3.0 & LED (06G-P4-6267-KR), price 343
3. SAPPHIRE RX 570 NITRO+ OC 8GB PCIe, price 300
You can also sugguest any other card. What's important data on graphics card for ETH ?
Is there any graphics card calculator for ETH mining ?

The 570 is not in stock anymore, if you can find one, then its the obvious choice.
what card do you suggest to buy?
Keep dreamin....
Why would I? Last week I've bought RX 480 MSI Gaming for 228 bucks, that's half price of 1070...Well not really half or anything... Depending on running sales I have seen 1070's as cheap as 349.99 in just the past couple of weeks. (not the mini's too) It doesn't really matter because I would never even bother mining ETH with an Nvidia card anyways. I also think that for resale value the 1070, 1080, and 1080 TI are by far superior to the 4xx/5xx GPU's. Nvidia can also mine many different algorithms profitably and they are less of a hassle to deal with as you don't change the bios and there are overall less driver issues. That is just my opinion but I started out mining AMD but have recently transitioned to Nvidia.
Where? i am looking for 570 to buy and the lower price that i found is 500$
Hello my friends
I am trying to build my 4th rig, in my 1st and 2dn Rig i used RX480 MSI x 4Gb. in my 3rd Rig i used RX570.... Now i am trying to find some 570 or 580 and i can't find it in amazon or i found it but 200% o 300% over price list.
So the question is, What model of Nvidia do you suggest me to try for mining ETH or ETH+PASC ?
I'll appreciate all your comments

Blaaaaaaaah this motherboard
Now I can't even get past the Bios screen, doesn't even let me enter win10 with 0 GPU's installed.
?? Anyone

Mine was finicky until I manually set the RAM speed to 2133. Also if you use a single stick make sure it's in the 2nd slot from the CPU.
I can't even get the board to run with more than 4 GPU. If I add a 5th GPU then 3 of the 5 GPU's give error code 12 in device manager.
I have spent literally 3 days trying to get this working and I am sick of this motherboard already. I feel like I have tried everything.
Tried several bios versions, 4g encoding, PCI Auto, Gen1, Gen2, Gen 3, diff risers, swapped ram, swapped cards, changed order of USB risers, tried everything listed in this thread and nothing works.
And I have 2 of them.
About to just write it off as a loss at this point. All because I wanted to run 7 GPUs. Bleh.
this work for me:
you can use simplemining.net -> bios 1.D version, 4G Decoding set to Enabled, PEG 0 and PEG 1 set to auto, Windows 8.1 / 10 = "Disabled"; Windows 7 = "Disabled"... Important: enable the integrate video and connect the monitor to him. ---- 7 x Rx470: Dual mining ETH-PAsc = 148.74 MH/s 2379.91 MH/s
hope this work for you. Grin
try reinstall win10 using any amdgpu as video out from beginning.
Just tried it. Plugged in a single GPU and use that as video output, there's no image on my screen if I enable Windows 10 mode in bios. If I disable windows 10 whql support in bios, it works fine but I can't boot into a windows install or windows itself. If I plug the monitor directly into the onboard hdmi, then everything works fine.
I disabled fast boot and it seems to be working!! I get proper video output from one gpu shown on my monitor with 7 gpus hooked up. However now Device Manager only shows 5 GPUs instead of 7.
Bios settings same as before. All Gen 1 with 4G Enabled
you should try this: https://youtu.be/fTusQ0omj8M
Does the display show artifacs when Above 4G Decoding set to Enabled is normal? I turn off the computer when I see them should I wait?
If not active 4G when connecting the fifth GPU appears a memory error, did it happen?
Can somebody film the startup of the miner?

Dont worry for the weird screen .... it is normal in this pice of S&%t motherboard when you enable the 4g decoding

Soothaa can you please share what riser are you using and buying in amazon?
thx
I am using those too
Re: [Mining OS] SimpleMining.net - Easy to use GPU MINING Operating System
Soothaa,
I spent a good bit of the day futzing with that machine and I'm convinced that it's just not going to support 7 cards until MSI releases a new bios that's going to allow us to disable the SATA controller. I have several z98 boards from them that support 7 cards and in each case, the option that allows use of the 7th card is the ability to disable the SATA controller.
With 7 cards on the z170a, you can get 7 cards to show up in the OS and Claymore but as soon as a stress is put on the cards, you start to see weirdness with the OS like hangups or dropping network. I believe this is due to a resource constraint. Possibly interrupts or memory addresses. I went through the OS and ensured that everything that could be disabled was. That included: Audio, HPTimer, and the Serial port. Could be that the next BIOS from MSI fixes things. Only time will tell.
The highlight of the day had to be the new USB risers. Back in 2013/2014, those were crazy expensive and difficult to get. Now days, they're cheaper than the risers I bought years ago. These new ones popped right in and replaced the older risers AND the jumper wires I'd had to put in the PCIe slots to force the motherboard to see the cards.
That's interesting. I still have not yet had time to take another look at the board (and still won't tonight I spent a good bit of the day futzing with that machine and I'm convinced that it's just not going to support 7 cards until MSI releases a new bios that's going to allow us to disable the SATA controller.

) plus it seems Amazon is delaying my new risers until Friday. Come Saturday I will be totally focused on this and building my datacenter so I hopefully will have more info then.Soothaa can you please share what riser are you using and buying in amazon?

Re: [Mining OS] SimpleMining.net - Easy to use GPU MINING Operating System
hello tytanick ,
i am a MSI Z170a gaming G5 with 7 rx470 gpus. for use them on windows i have to eneble in the bios the option 4G Decoding + Windows 8.1 / 10 support = Enabled... so windows can see all the gpus.
i tryed to start your simpleminig software with out success.
1.- i used factory standard configuration in the bios + the usb drive with SM Software start, the miner start and the software see al 7 gpus but the gpus in the miner (claymore 9.3) have 0 Mh.
2.- i used factory standard configuration in the bios + the usb drive with SM Software start with 4 GPUS.... the miner works fine.
3.- i tryed the same bios configuration that i used for mining on windows 10, (4G Decoding + Windows 8.1 / 10 support = Enabled), the usb drive is not recognized. (i suppouse because the windows 8.1/10 support in bios, only support UFI divices, and the usb image is not
4.- i disable in the bios the windows 8.1/10 support and leave the 4G Decoding. the usb is recongnized, but after the boot menu the software freeze.
any idea how can i fix this problem ?
thanks in advance

Re: [Mining OS] SimpleMining.net - Easy to use GPU MINING Operating System
Hello tytanick, i am mining ETH/DCR.... i am trying your software today and i have a question for you... why could be the reason that Ethermine report this stats?:
Reported Hashrate: 115.1 Mh/s . - . Current Hashrate 91.4 Mh/s... it is almost 24 Mh/s ... meanwhile the others rigs with direct mining the different is 5-7 Mh/s
thanks

thanks talat . u seem like from middle east .. me too .. I,m for Egypt ..
but tell me ? is there is a Celeron Skylake ? or its I series only ? i3 i5 i7 ?
will sky lake dual core work ?
Intel Pentium G4400 Skylake Dual-Core 3.3GHz LGA 1151 ??
can u tell me which processor u were using first ? I don,t want to fall into the same problem

It doesn't work ..... í te with a G4400 Skylake and when i turn on the G4 option the system doesn't start
Ok i made it work. On Windows 10x64 .... it is a pain in the A** .... i modify bios to version 1d , Above 4G Decoding set to Enabled.... but most important Windows OS Configuration
Windows 8.1 / 10 = "Enabled"....
It was very hard to install correctly the driver but finally it works
Thank you for that. Working with 16.11
can you share the bios config Please?
Re: Claymore's Dual Ethereum AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v8.0 (Windows/Linux)
v8.0:
- added new coin for dual mode: PASCAL(PASC). Now you can mine Ethereum, Ethereum+Decred, Ethereum+Siacoin, Ethereum+Lbry or Ethereum+Pascal. NOTE: Currently Pascal is not available for NVidia cards.
- added "-nofee" option.
- added ability to use environment variables in "epools.txt", "dpools.txt" and "config.txt" files. For example, define "WORKER" environment variable and use it as "%WORKER%" in config.txt.
- added "License.txt" file.
- some minor improvements.
NOTE. Before using any fee-blockers, please read updated OP or Readme:
This miner is free-to-use, however, current developer fee is 1% for Ethereum-only mining mode (-mode 1) and 2% for dual mining mode (-mode 0), every hour the miner mines for 36 or 72 seconds for developer.
Decred/Siacoin/Lbry/Pascal is mined without developer fee.
If you don't agree with the dev fee - don't use this miner, or use "-nofee" option.
Attempts to cheat and remove dev fee will cause a bit slower mining speed (same as "-nofee 1") though miner will show same hashrate.

@claymore , do you think develop a new miner only for Pasc? thx
Sounds cool, you mean the 2 pasc is 24 hours mining process from your computer? Anyway I am falling in love with Pascal, its a good coin, with large volume. 5pasc is about 3 usd right?
you can use your private wallet or another wallet like Poloniex. I'm using Poliniex without any problem, the only issue is nanopool doesn't have defined Payment schedules. for example, last night they payd me 2pasc, this morning 4, the day before they paid me each 5 pasc...
I already tried mining using Pascal's default software via Solo Mining, but it doesn't work for me. The software doesnt working on my computer.
Can I use nanopool instead using my Poloniex's Pascal wallet? How much I will earn if I will run it from a vacant i5 Computer?

no, im not mining with CPU, im mining with GPU RX480. i have 11 GPU and make 19-20 pasc/day

i have been used nanopool since its beginin..... they rice the pool fee from 0 to 1%, start minimun payout in 1Pasc and now they rised to 5Pasc..... and really don't know how many times they pay in a day.... today i found-out a new version of the miner (SG-Miner) in the faq page.... and the Mh rise like 10%.

hello folks,
i bougth 6 MSI Radeon RX 480 DirectX 12 RX 480 GAMING X 4G 4GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support ATX Video Card ..... could anyone please tell me how i can mod the bios (or get a bios mod) for those cards?
i never have modified a rom so im a little worried to screw them

Anyone got data on the profitability with 1 rx 480??
rx480 - 4Mb = 645 MH/s
Give me 20 ETH, I will tell you... 
I have been mining for almost 9 hours and I did not find a block ..... so this is a waste of time or it really worth it?
