Energy efficiency ratio of video card mining

1.

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 it

summary:

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

2. It's useless except for wasting electricity.
it's been fooled and hyped a lot

Bitcoin was obtained by CPU in the early days. With the continuous development of GPU speed and the emerging advantages of GPU general computing, miners graally began to use GPU instead of CPU for mining. Bitcoin mining uses SHA-256 hash operation, which will carry out a large number of 32-bit integer cyclic right shift operation. Interestingly, this algorithm operation can be implemented by a single hardware instruction in AMD GPU, while it needs three hardware instructions to simulate in NVIDIA GPU. This one alone brings an additional 1.7 times of computing efficiency advantage for AMD GPU. With this advantage, amd GPU is favored by the majority of miners

advise the landlord not to dig up if the budget is not too much!!! This money is not earned if you want to

the difficulty of bitcoin is increasing. Mining with graphics card is a race against time. The main reason is that the difficulty of mining bitcoin is graally increasing (the reason of bitcoin algorithm design). If a set of platforms can get 1 bitcoin per day according to the current difficulty, then in one month, the platforms with the same computing power will only get 0.8 bitcoins, even the top graphics cards will get 18.2 days (which can't be shut down), and the lowest second-hand hd7750 will need more than 400 (it will take 214 days to get one). Just look at this figure (this is the data in May this year, Now it's more than 18 days)

people can earn money by buying several mining machines (mining machines with dozens of top graphics cards piled together)

I hope I can help you

4. You can install three graphics cards with PCI-E adapter. You can read the tutorial online. The cheapest graphics card is 7770, and the speed of a single card is 200. If you make three graphics cards, the average monthly income is about 1000-1200, because you don't need to pay for electricity, so this part is not excluded for you

5. A card has more process processors, and its general computing power is stronger than n card. The architecture of a card is more suitable for mining. N card is OK now, but the effect is not as good as a card. This is a fact
let's see what others say.

6. Copied:
in short, mining is to use the chip to carry out a calculation related to the random number, and get the answer in exchange for a virtual coin. Virtual currency can be exchanged for the currency of each country through some way. The stronger the computing power, the faster the chip can find this random answer. Theoretically, the more virtual coins can be proced per unit time. Because it's about random numbers, you can only get rewards if you happen to find the answer. It's possible that one chip will find the answer in the next second, or ten chips won't find the answer in a week. The more chips compute at the same time, the easier it is to find the answer, and the mining machine with built-in multi chips appears. And a number of mining machines to form a "mine" at the same time mining is to improve efficiency. In the mine pool, multiple "self-employed" join an organization to mine together. No matter who finds the answer and digs out the virtual coin, everyone gets the corresponding reward according to the calculation ability of contribution. This way can make the income of "self-employed" more stable
take a popular example:
I write a string of numbers on a piece of paper and give some hints. Whoever guesses correctly will be given a bonus (mining)
smart people can make more guesses (calculation ability)
some people pay money to invite many people to come back and guess together (mining)
some people call everyone together to guess, no matter who guesses, Distribute the bonus (mine pool) according to the proportion of guessing times of each person
the rest is too long, you can search by yourself...

8. According to the level, the largest 6870, the middle 6850 and the lower 6770 are more than 6870, the middle 6850 and the lower 6770 are less than 6870. It's not a level
without considering the price, the brand of jingyingjing titanium is a third line proct, which is almost the same
in terms of performance, Jingti 6870 belongs to the middle end of high-end series 6850. There are differences in frequency and so on
the performance difference should be 30%

if the price is not considered, 6870 Jingti is recommended

if the price is considered, 6850 is recommended

if the price is not high, 6770 is not expensive
