Re: GPU Warranty

I don't have first hand experience with EVGA warranty service, but have seen they are good at standing behind their products. My opinion on extended warranties in general is that they are a big profit center for companies that offer them and therefore not a good deal from a consumer standpoint. I think with VGA's this even more so, given will you even want the card after the initial 3 year warranty expires?

You have a point, but equally if they did break, you could get it replaced with new then flog it....

GPU Warranty

Hi,

I'm just registering my GPU's for warranty, for a trivial amount I can extend the warranty to 5 or 10 years...

do EVGA and such like pay out if you have used it for mining and if it packs up in 2 years because of that do you think they will replace it?

Hi,

I have just tried running ZCash on my rig and its running on average at approx. 2860 sol/s, that's with 6x GTX 1070 GPU, with ETH I get 180MH/s

I have to say running ZEC, the GPU temperature really jumps up a bit, It only runs at 47c on ETH, its going to 62c on ZEC

Can someone just clearly explain to me how ZEC is supposedly more profitable than ETH with a 1070 as I can't see it myself.

My 8*1060 GPU consume 1.5 times more power in Zcash mining.

What sort of figures are you getting with 1060's on ZEC?

Re: Mixing 2x 2GB with 6x 8GB Cards
by

Build 2 Rigs and split them up. Much easier to try and optimize and when you are you are still mining with the other rig. Also, then you can add more 1070s when / IF you get them.

How is that going to help splitting it up?

I do plan on building another rig of once I have expanded this to 8x 1070.


Also, always have a spare barebone rig.

What is that to consist of? everything apart from GPU's?

I can build an empty rig other than GPU for about £400

The 2GB cards should still be able to mine Exp and Ubq. 
The only reason they can not mine Eth is because the Dag file is larger than 2 Gb.
The question is how much juice do they draw.... Some of the older cards use a lot of Electric and will cut into any profits you are trying to get out of them.

As for your 6x1070's there are WAY more profitable coins to mine on them than Eth. 

Ok, which coin would you mine then? As having done the calculations, I am still better off mining ETH with them, as at present, off 6 cards, I am bringing in $1000 per month, which is about $33 a day which is being deposited into my account.

I cant even seem to get close to that with any other coin.

Unless you have a better idea? I would be more than happy to look at making more money.

I did wonder about ZEC, but understand you only get about 400 per card?

Mixing 2x 2GB with 6x 8GB Cards
by
tomduk
on 25/06/2017, 08:45:32 UTC
Hi,

As per the title, I now successfully have 6x 8Gb cards running, and have just found a couple of old 2GB cards in my loft....

People say you cant really mine with 2GB cards, but just wondered how it worked if they were mixed with bigger cards?

So can I put them in my rig and presumably it will run fine plus a few more MH/s maybe?

Or does each card work independently and the 2Gb will simply not do much?

They are both GeForce Nvidia 2Gb 520's I think?

Re: Mining ZCash with Nvidia

Use EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1707546.0, I believe you can also use it for other Equihash coins but not sure.
Make sure you have the latest drivers, you may or may not have to also install the CUDA toolkit here: https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads, try it first should any problems occur before troubleshooting anything else.

Brilliant thank you.

I'm just looking at my options as just started on ETH at 180MHs but the price has dropped a lot of late and sceptical if it's going to go back up.

Mining ZCash with Nvidia
by

on 24/06/2017, 21:07:17 UTC
Hi,

Just a quick one,

Looking at nanopool, the claymore miner for zcash has AMD next to it in brackets?

Can I still use this to mine ZEC with my NVIDIA cards?

Or is there a better mining client to run on Windows for ZEC and Nvidia?

Thanks

You will be pleased to know having fitted the new motherboard and followed the video on this thread ive now got 6 cards running at 180Mhs.

I might go and buy two more and see how it takes 8, I can then when the money build another 8 rig.

Thanks for your help, much appreciated.

BBT uses this board a lot in his builds. He also has a video walkthrough of what you need to do to get the Asus Z270-A / AR running with 6+ cards.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DR-FkpU2KfI

Next he's going to try 13 cards on the board using a PCI-E splitter! Cheesy

I just watched that, it's really helpful
