Mining evaluation
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
as a middle-aged miner for 13 years, let's talk about the feeling of mining before.
I bought four mining machines in the past. Bitcoin uses CPU and I'm not familiar with it, so I use the form of buying graphics card to dig Wright's coin.
the first one is a simple double card mining machine, not a mining machine strictly speaking, but a double 7950 machine, At that time, I thought about digging for a while. If I didn't make money, I could still play games by myself. As a result, I found that the efficiency was really not high. Later, I used to dig some dog money and play with it.
the second one was the popular 6-card miner in those years. At that time, there was a powerful motherboard, which could run for 6 yuan by connecting with the PCI adapter and changing the BIOS. At that time, I could dig a lot of Wright's money every day with this machine, It's a pity that there are too many people digging, so it took more than 80 days to dig the coins. The third and the fourth are professional mining machines. At that time, the new chips were used to mass proce mining machines. Although they were expensive, the power consumption decreased a lot. It took about a year to dig, In the end, he retired, g up other counterfeit coins for a while, and then sold them.
generally speaking, many websites have no credibility at all in the past few days. They actually know what the concept of excessive increase in computing power is after digging up the money.
when ZF suppressed it, the assets immediately shrank by nearly 70%, but they still didn't sell because of their faith, On the contrary, after selling the miner, I bought some coins and put them in my hand. When I bought 100, I g them and only bought 15. Hey, the miner was sealed and put under the bed. After waiting for three years, I found that it rose again. This year, when bitcoin rose to 2W, I sold some Leyte coins and paid the down payment. Almost 300 of them were sold. Now it seems that the highest is 380, Ha ha
now I still have some money in my hand, and I plan to hold it for a long time, but I won't dig any more. However, I still have a lot of orders with our first-class suppliers. In the past two months, I sold nearly 150 cards, and the more I sold, the more I sold. Some cards are about to double, which is even crazier than that in 2013, The existence of e-money has its own value in the end, but it does not deny that there are so many speculators who come in to fight. There are indeed those who pursue the price. After the boom, there will be a wave of leeks cutting. In the final analysis, bitcoin is just an investment. Everyone feels different about the risk. The strength of big funds is still strong, and it is inevitable for retail investors to be cut, But it's better than A-share at least.
mining is not a good thing. The big miners are in the remote areas with low electricity charges, many mining machines and low cost. Most people dig at home, and that's just a little fuss.
finally, it's not a good thing to grow too fast. Those who are confident can come in and show their operation. If they don't have much ability, don't come in, Only by routine
Mining index is to test how long it takes for a computer graphics card to dig out bitcoin or lettercoin. Because it was popular to dig all kinds of money to earn commission, the corresponding software also added mining index evaluation function, such as Master Lu
Open Master Lu and click the mining index on the right to pop up the middle interface as shown in the figure. Of course, the graphics card does not support it. If the graphics card supports it, click the "one click test" below, and the mining index of the computer will be evaluated after a period of time
mining machine needs top-level a card support
your n card can't do it
Gtx1070's video memory is 8g
when 970 was listed, mining was not too hot
and at that time, a-card mining had high cost performance.
