Anyone mining Aion? Seems to be very profitable.
it is for linux only
Is this calculator accurate? https://www.crypto-coinz.net/crypto-calculator/?r=1
Which ccminer is best for XZC? and which -i setting?
Using the latest official one with -i 19, +160 (2050 boost) 55%tdp -500mem, getting 3200khash each card on my rigthis one? https://github.com/tpruvot/ccminer/releases
It is still profitable. Depends on your definition of efficiency I suppose. There are other things to mine that may be better options right now.
You can still do much worse than XZC.

what is the best option? XLR?
Which ccminer is best for XZC? and which -i setting?
xzc not efficient no more.....
what else?
buy more 1080ti now or wait for next nvidia generation?
Buy more. Even the Titan V is not much faster.
Re: HOW TO SET UP OVERCLOCKING AND FAN CONTROL ON UBUNTU 16.04 FOR NVIDIA CARDS

3. Run sudo nvidia-xconfig -a --allow-empty-initial-configuration --cool-bits=28 --use-display-device="DFP-0" --connected-monitor="DFP-0"
This command never works. OC settings still hidden.
Re: HOW TO SET UP OVERCLOCKING AND FAN CONTROL ON UBUNTU 16.04 FOR NVIDIA CARDS
Need to find out about the setup then!
CPU?
USB 3 Risers?
Motherboard?
Number of GPUs?
Type of GPUs?
Ubuntu Version?
Do you have one GPU acting as the display output or are you using onboard graphics?
PCI-E settings?

PCI-E settings?
6600K
MSI Z170 Pro
2x 1060, 2x 1050 Ti (USB3 Risers)
Ubuntu 17.04
onboard output (tried GPU but doesn't work either)
Gen1, 4G decoding
You need to have identical models for Ubuntu e.g. all GTX 1060 or all GTX 1050 TIs.
In your situation: you will be limited to using Windows 10.
Did you get all 4 cards installed or where some missing in Nividia Xorg Server?
All cards are working without OC.
OK, overclocking and fan control can only be enabled when a monitor is connected to the GPU on primary PCI-Express slot.
Set it to PEG in bios. Make sure all the PCH is set to Gen1, and check if you also have the option to set the individual slot selections to Gen1.
Try starting with a GTX 1060 on primary PCI-Express slot.
If, that does not work, then try starting with GTX 1050 TI in the primary PCI-E slot.
As soon as you get a display output from one GPU connected to a monitor - you will be able to set fan controls and overclocking.
Also, see if Disabling above 4G decode works, it sometimes causes a black screen.
Does it matter if I use DP or HDMI?

Re: HOW TO SET UP OVERCLOCKING AND FAN CONTROL ON UBUNTU 16.04 FOR NVIDIA CARDS
No it doesn't matter with 2 cards. Works perfectly in Windows. Just can't OC in Linux.
A couple of options:
a) try Ubuntu 17.04LTS - it has an updated kernel that may be better with your CPU and motherboard.
b) try Nvidia' newer drivers
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt update.
Then go to additional drivers - an every Nvidia Ubuntu driver release up to the recent 384.59 will be available for install.
Sometimes, you'll need to click open Ubuntu Software and update X Server control panel for that driver.
Remember, after switching drivers and rebooting you will need to re-enter:
sudo nvidia-xconfig -a --cool-bits=28 --allow-empty-initial-configuration
I tried but still the same problem
Not a lot can be done - especially, as you won't try using Gen 2 or Gen 1!
I noticed that oc works on a card with monitor plugged in but this not a solution for mining.
Had chance to look into this problem and found a work-around that does not involve using dummy monitor plugs.
Firstly, log in and enable overclocking on one GPU:
sudo nvidia-xconfig -a --cool-bits=28
Log out and then log back in, then enable overclocking on all the other identical GPUs:
sudo nvidia-xconfig -a --cool-bits=28 --allow-empty-initial-configuration
Then log out and log back in and all the GPUs will have overclocking and fan control enabled.
Try it again, it is a workaround - sometimes it takes a couple of tries.
Tried 100x, not possible.
