I just got into mining Ethereum. I’ve a RTX 2080 Super and in Afterburner I was able to get +1500 on memory and power limit to 40%. The GPU is taking about 112W right now and the hashrate is 43.78 MH/s.
That would mean the efficiency is ~0.39, is that good? The electricity is actually cheap where I live (India), but I just wanted some opinion on this. Thanks a lot!
@Aaryan_sharma I don’t have a lot of experience overclocking and undervolting on Nvidia cards but those numbers look very good to me - especially the low power usage. I have a 2080 Super on my main working computer which I only use for a little bit of mining when I’m not using it for other activities. I haven’t done any tweaking because I couldn’t be bothered turning it on and off all the time, but using Nicehash software and stock GPU settings, I’m only getting 36MH/s at a power usage of about 180W.
I gett 44 MH/s at 104 watts or 0.423 MH/watt with a 2070.
You should be able to get a bit more out of a 2080 Super. Any Hash/watt over 0.4 is good for 20xx series cards. However, 30xx series cards like the 3060TI can get 0.504 MH/w quite the improvement.
I have seen RX5700 and Radeon VII get 0.60 MH/w using team red miner and compute mode with some tweaks. It’s all about saving electricity and getting incredible hash rates.
It’s on my main computer as well. I simply have two profiles in Afterburner and switch accordingly. 1 for mining and the other for gaming. I added another GPU (RX 480) to my main computer today, so I can game and mine at the same time now.
that’s really good, can you please share your undervolt settings? Are you using MSI afterburner? I have +1500 on mem so I’m not really sure what other settings I should explore to maximize the hashrate. Thanks a lot!
Yeah as I said I’ve never really bothered to play around with my 2080 - might have a go now that you’ve indicated how much better it can get than what I’m achieving on stock settings. I might look to install Afterburner and have a go.
I have a 6 x RX5700 rig and I’m getting 0.692 MH/W on that so pretty happy with it. My 12 x RX570 are only getting 0.375 MH/W but they were very cheap to buy so it’s all pure profit now.
Nope, not for me and I now remember why I uninstalled Afterburner the last time. I just installed the latest stable version, downloaded from the official site and tried some modest overclocking.
It ate my anti-virus, it wrecked my Nvidia drivers and various other software stopped working. I tried to roll back with a restore point but that failed so I had to re-install my anti-virus and my Nvidia Drivers. Seems stable again now but won’t be mucking up this machine any more. I’m much happier with AMD than Nvidia so I’ll stick to those and leave the Nvidia at stock, as I only run it for a couple of hours a day anyway.
Afterburner wouldn’t do that unless you did a really high overclock that it crashed the system. Plus an Antivirus will surely affect the hashrates as well.
But those AMD GPUs that you’ve are really good😣 the prices are just soo high now😂
