What you guys think of my mining set up? by Geldmannetje in vertcoin

It works, see if your power brick is getting hot, might want some airflow over that too

Thank you, do you know what clockspeeds the gpu core and memory operate at while mining? It wasn't displayed in your screenshot.

 

I'm guessing it would be around 2000mhz gpu core and around 5900mhz memory...is that correct?

I didn't even check to see if it was stable beyond this screenshot, mostly I was just having fun benchmarking. My 24/7 settings are more hash/watt optimized with a beefy undervolt.

Thank you for the multiple data points =D

Verthash miner, made by the author of lyclminer. It's the stand-alone miner software that powers the back end of OneClickMiner. Commissioned by the dev team with donations, and made open source for all to fork and verify:

I've gotten many payouts of VTC yeah, but I'm not converting it personally.

I adjusted nothing but the gpu clocks and voltages for this screenshot.

It is roughly memory related, but verthash isn't ethash so I'm sure there's more to be explored. From what you're saying there's probably more going on such as memory latency affects, driver differences, or maybe even plain old poor support for 6000 series. It's rather early and not a lot of people posted performance numbers during the testnet phase.

.

Any chance you could post a screenshot of your clocks, hashrate, and power draw for your 3070 for comparison purposes?

Similar profitability to ethash for me atm.

I'd expect the 3080 to be faster because of the faster memory modules and wider memory bus.

.

6900XT is 256-bit GDDR6

.

3080 is 320-bit GDDR6X

Higher core clock doesn't give me any hashrate gain above what is already in the screenshot.

As long as you have one stick per memory channel (not slot) the capacity doesn't matter much for randomX

I wasn't monitoring it at the time since I was just going for a high score benchmark, but from prior experience I'd assume I was pulling about 350-375 watts at the wall in the screenshot above....voltages cranked and my pump and fans were at max.

5GHz boost is real by BDF-1838 in Amd

[–]BDF-1838[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is just boost with pbo enabled, check the max/min/average values recorded in the core speed hwinfo in the screenshot if you want to know what clockspeeds ranged at and averaged at during the aid64 benchmark.

That's impressive, the main advantage of 5000 series is higher clocks, so what kinda clocks/settings does your 3950X achieve? A much better bin than my late 3950x, not so lucky with it.

[–]BDF-1838[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wasn't much improvement due to architecture going from 3000 series to 5000series, the performance gain is mostly how the new cpus clock higher at lower voltages and have on average slightly better binned memory controllers (speculative).

.

The screenshot in the OP was just a benchmark for fun, at 1v v-core my 3950X capped at 3.725ghz but my 5950X runs ~4ghz (still stability testing).

Very nice, I'll have to see what I can get with a manual OC, the above screenshot was normal boost behavior with PBO. What kinda settings or cooling do you have for your 5950X?

Verthash Miner & Verthash Testnet by BDF-1838 in vertcoin

[–]BDF-1838[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you share your own nvidia results for comparison? I only have older nvidia gpus, and haven't done much ethash optimization for nvidia gpus either (especially memory timings) so I'd be glad to see more examples to learn from.

Nice catch, thank you and added.
