Re: This can't be real... is my math correct?

So I've been lurking around this forum, random YouTube channels and websites looking at information on getting into GPU mining. I decided to finally register here because I have a question on calculating profits from a GPU mining rig. This is the pre-built rig I've been looking at...

https://mineshop.eu/ethereum-miner/ethereum-miner-eth-gpu-mining-amd-rx470-detail

This is my power usage... I rounded up to 0.14 USD.

This is the "profit" calculated.

This just can't be real. Why isn't everyone doing this? I understand that ETH rises in complexity, but anyone can buy/build a rig. What am i missing?



that's right, just for now.

But be sure it will not always be like today.

That's the reason there are no Amd RX 470/480 or 570/580 in any store in the world

Re: Msi z270 pro 4g decoding enabled problem & 3/6 cards working when disabled

i have a asus prime Z270(with 7 GPUs) I also had the same problem.

try this:
must have windows 10 installed in UEFI Mode
update motherboards BIOS to the latest version and enabled 4G decoding.
if you already have windows 10 and drivers installed use DDU to uninstall AMD drivers.
now install any drivers 17.1.1 or any up to drivers 17.5.1.
Turn off your pc.

Install one video card at a time and Run atikmdag-patcher.exe.
Download the Patcher:  Pixel Clock patcher: https://www.monitortests.com/forum/Thread-AMD-ATI-Pixel-Clock-Patcher
If all limits are found, click "Yes" to patch and sign. If a limit is not found or if multiple matches are found, the patcher needs to be updated.
Reboot.

When you have done all the cards one by one, turn off your pc. and install all the cards.

what if i have 3 GPU cards , do i have to connect them all to TV in order to review GPUs temperature ?

No, just need to connect 1 video card, Even if you have 1, 3, or 7 cards.

currently my HDMI is connect into my mobo , which is Intel i think .

can i connect my HDMI cable into my GPU and simultaneity mining

yes, try connecting the Monitor, from the video card, not from the Motherboard.

how long it been running ? can you share what mods ? plus i have the prime Z270-A do you think it will work ?

It's been running for a few days, but it's very stable,

Mod:  TIMING(MHz) area copy 1625 timings to 1750, 1900 and 2000.

Yes, it should work on prime Z270-A

i think the problem is that you're using HDMI cable, and you need to use DVI-D from the video card.

IMHO, other alternatives are: Biostar TB250-BTC and TB350-BTC
These two are sold out

the asrock is almost discontinued but there are good alternative check the asus prime z270-a and p version they can carry up to 8 gpu with proper tweak https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=news&id=155

Ah yes, this looks like a good one. $40 more than what I had budgeted for my rigs, but may be worthwhile adding the extra cards there

I have asus prime z270-ar using 6 gpus not sure if i want to try 7th gpu.

I have asus prime z270-ar using 7 GPU's  470 4g 206.7 Mh/s
