470d mining adjustment
1: material purchase
1.1: motherboard suggestion: the graphics card mining does not need a lot of PCI e bandwidth, and the motherboard with PCI-E 1x can meet the bandwidth requirements. Generally, the motherboard has 3-5 PCI-E 1x interfaces and 1 PCI-E 16x interface. In addition, the motherboard has a large 4Pin power supply interface, which improves the stability to a certain extent. PCI-E 1x needs to purchase the extension cable from 1x to 16x
1.2: recommended models: 280x, 290380x, 390470d, 470480, 4G and above; N card GTX 950106010701080 and above. A card is recommended for eth / etc mining, while n card is inefficient; Zcash mining a card and N card can be, n card has a slight advantage in speed, mainly low power consumption.
The graphics card market in 2017 is the most special in recent years. In the past few years, no graphics card will increase its price by 100% a few months after its release. RX 580 has achieved this goal. Together with all the graphics cards below 3000 yuan, it has broken through the premium point in an irresistible manner. All this happened with the bitcoin price breaking through 3000 US dollars. After miners swept the RMB 2000 RX 580, the price of low-end RX 560 and even GTX 1050 Ti increased to varying degrees. However, is the price directly proportional to the ability of hash algorithm? Recently, we did a test to collect the new generation of graphics cards at various prices on the market, test the mining speed of Ethernet and bitcoin, and see which card has the highest cost performance
Different from the thousand yuan market, this wave of mining tide has a great impact on high-end graphics cards. In the test results, RX 580 and Rx 480 have almost reached the bottom of GTX 1070. Moreover, the price of Rx 580 is even competing with that of GTX 1070, so the miners directly swept the 3000 yuan market when GTX 1060 3gb / 6GB is out of stock, and GTX 1070 is basically out of stock. The more advanced GTX 1080 is also out of stock, but it's not clear whether the players are forced to go directly to the high-end card or the miners extend their claws to this market. The situation of GTX 1080 ti is only slightly improved, but it's not much better. However, not everyone can afford the 6000 yuan graphics card. Only the top players will be affected, but it's just a narrower choice. It's not the case that the rich can't buy itsummary:
to mine, the first choice is the graphics card with more than 3gb video memory, which is the basis. In addition, the core frequency will affect the mining speed. We have two GTX 1080 cards on hand, one is public version, and the other is MSI GTX 1080 gaming X. the operating frequencies of the two cards are 1885mhz and 1936mhz respectively. After testing, because of the frequency, the latter will be about 4% faster than the former in actual mining. The advantages of high-frequency graphics card are highlighted
So Xiaobian's opinions and suggestions are as follows:the low-end card and the old architecture card are not suitable for mining. GTX 1080 ti is an extreme, with the most powerful performance, but the price is not suitable for large-scale procurement. The mining speed of a card with the same location is much faster than that of N card, The cost performance of GTX 1060 3gb is higher than that of GTX 1060 6GB. The frequency and the number of stream processors / CUDA have a great influence on the performance of the card. The size of video memory has no influence on the mining. It's enough. Different video cards will have different profits if they dig different coins. If you want to further explore, you need to test several currencies, Limited to space, we only select two representative currencies to test
as long as the mine disaster does not occur, the shortage will last for a long time. However, if there is a mine disaster, a large number of second-hand mine cards will directly enter the market. These cards are always running at full load and full speed, and their service life is greatly shortened compared with that of ordinary users. Even if the price is lower, they will roll over at any time, There is no need to start at all. Moreover, the second-hand market will be directly disrupted. At that time, it will be difficult for some normal users to get out of the second-hand market, and the deep-water fish's Dragon killing knife will explode the galaxy. Now it is said that NVIDIA is making some graphics cards without display output interface, which are provided to miners as mine cards. With a certain capacity, if the mine card still can't satisfy the miners, won't the miners buy the graphics card in the consumer market? The only function of these special mine cards is to prevent mine cards from flowing into the second-hand market, which can not alleviate the current shortage of graphics cards
mining is the virtual currency on the Internet such as bitcoin and lightby, which can be calculated by graphics card. At its peak. One bitcoin can be sold to 6000 (CNY)
after rx570 and 580 come out, it may be out of stock. Just like in those years, many hd79xx graphics cards were used to mine, so a lot of cards appeared on the market.
in those years, because of mining capital, it will not be available in the future. Now it is replaced by
rx570
and now the cost performance of graphics card is not high, only
1060
can be bought..... You can refer to the price of
rx570
and
1060
6G
and the performance of rx570
is close to that of
1060
6G
, which is higher than that of
3G
version, If the price is the same, we can consider it.
but now gtx1050ti is more cost-effective, because most of the rx470d are bought by miners to mine, and the rest of the merchants start from the ground, and the prices are very expensive. Gtx1050ti, because of the price increase of other graphics cards, has gone up a little, but it doesn't go up much, so it goes up about 200
at present, the cost performance of gtx1050ti is much higher than that of rx470d, and the power consumption is also much lower
gtx1050ti consumes 75W, rx470d consumes 110W
