EWBF's NVidia CUDA Zcash miner 1060 - 170 h/s gtx 1070 - 250 h/s

They’re the all-in-one 1080 ti cards. Super nice to have the cooling built in and overclocked from the start. 720-740 Sol/s is standard for these. I added a hybrid cooler to a standard 1080 ti fe, but the overclocking software doesn’t recognize the two fans instead of one - it’s kinda a pain and EVGA’s support said, “that’s just the way it is”.

I’m very curious about your Sol/Watt and Sol/s once that build is complete if you don’t mind sharing.

hopefully it works, ill report back if it does

Nvidia is the only way to go for Zec now. You wouldn’t catch me buying RX series cards.

what make and model is that?

Considering they are sold out almost everywhere, I’m not suprised you wont be buying any RX series cards LOL

I’m having incredibly bad luck trying to build a new 1080ti rig.

I’ve 4 cards with a H81 Pro BTC motherboard running Ubuntu 16.04 and the latest NVIDIA drivers.

lspci shows all four cards:

$ lspci | grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation Device 1b06 (rev a1)
03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation Device 1b06 (rev a1)
04:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation Device 1b06 (rev a1)
05:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation Device 1b06 (rev a1)

whereas nvidia-smi only shows 2 or 3 - which just seems random.

I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled the device drivers. I’ve reset CMOS. I’ve replaced risers/USB cables, and nothing seems to change this.

Any ideas?

I have my first 1070, MSI Gaming X mining 440sol/s with this miner. It has both a 6 and 8 Pin power cable. Is there a way to run on just the 8 pin power so I don’t have to buy extra cables? Would I need to under clock it with a single 8pin to make it stable? Thanks.

Here’s a trick for you; take the time to unplug all but one card then run nvidia-smi -q | grep GPU
This will give you the UUID of each card, create a label of each of the cards first four in the UUID and stick it on the card. This will help you to troubleshooting and figure out which card is not on the bus. You can repeat this until you know which card is which and can see the pattern in what it is not working

You might try the older driver too, I’m having good luck with NVIDIA-SMI 375.66

See if you can go into the BIOS and turn down the PCIE bus for 2.0 to 1.0 or something.

Hi Guys

I have a Very Easy Question which I have been Trying to Figure out but cant get the calculations right!

The Rates seem to be all over the place and some saying the 1080 is worse then the 1070?

What will mine more Zcash, Quickest ROI :slight_smile:

6 x GTX 1060 3Gb or
4 x GTX 1070 8GB (500$ More then 1060) or
3 x GTX 1080 8GB (150$ more then 1070)

Thank for the Help in Advance

This is what you get on Titan XP ?

I’m using EWBF miner on my 1070 Amp Extreme (GPU oc’ed +100, memory oc’ed +550) to mine ZEC via Nanopool - getting about 495 H/s (pretty good i think).

I’ve also tried mining (on the same machine) with NHEQMINER v5c using my 6700K (overclocked to 4.400mhz) into Nanopool but kept getting errors - either the GPU or CPU miner would stop after a few hours. So I switched over the Slushpool for CPU mining and everything seems smooth for the time being (avg 32 H/s).

Keep in mind that this is all on a single personal machine:

1070 Amp Extreme + 6700K = ~527 H/s

With that being said, in order to optimize my return, should I be using other pools? Also, does anyone see a problem w/ using both the CPU and GPU to mine into separate pools AT THE SAME TIME?

Did you get this rolling? I’m still interested in the results.

At the moment I’m building #2 with 6 more Corsair Hydro 1080 ti’s. Trying to get an ASUS Z170 Pro motherboard to work with more than 4 cards (avoid this mobo). I’m getting “This device cannot find enough resources … code 12” bug that has been seen a few other places, despite updating the bios and trying different pci-e speed config changes.

That said, the 4 cards that are running get 705-720 Sol/s each, not yet overclocked.

Thanks - nice trick!

I’ve everything going now using nvOC linux. :smiley:

cool, but i have no plans to put more than 2 cards on that board in the future

How much does each Zotac 1070 mine with OC?

all 1070’s get between 420 to 470ish

420 at stock and 470 OC?

each card is different, the stock for your card could be 399 or your o/c could be 430 or 499

Excuse my ignorance, but which of your 1070s mines the most? Or how to know? I really appreciate the help

as stated in my original post, i’m getting a sustained rate of 495 H/s on my 1070 Amp Extreme - GPU oc’ed +100, memory oc’ed +550
