The new Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 (Pascal-based) video cards have been available for about two weeks now and we have finally managed to get one GTX 1080 to play around with it and see how good it performs for crypto crurrency mining.We are starting with Ethereum as the currently most popular altcoin for GPU mining and unfortunately the GTX 1080 does not do great for ETH mining.You should already know that Eehereum is better on AMD GPUs than on Nvidia and the new Pascal GPUs such as the GTX 1080 don’t do great either and there are some issues with them on Windows for the moment.The GTX 1080 cards are using faster in terms of clock speed GDDR5X video memory that might do great for gaming, but apparently it does not do great for memory intensive algorithms such as Ethereum.In fact it seems that the GTX 1080 is slower because of the GDDR5X than the GTX 1070 that uses regular GDDR5 video memory, and when you add the high price of the 1080 it is most definitely not good choice for Ethereum mining like it might be for gaming.

We have compiled a Windows binary of the latest pre-release of Genoil’s ethminer 0.9.41 fork version 1.1.3 (source) with CUDA 8.0 and Compute 6.1 that is used by the new GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 to test with and you can find a download link below.So let us get to the hashrates you can expect from the GTX 1080 by mining under Windows and then from Linux.If you are using Windows 7 or 8.x you will notice that with the default settings the miner will crash when trying to load the DAG file into the video memory of GTX 1080, regardless if you are using OpenCL or CUDA mode.Other OpenCL only miners such as qtminer will also fail with a driver crash, this is a driver issue and even if you manage to not crash the driver you will get a disappointingly low performance.You can run the Genoil CUDA fork of ethminer in CUDA mode with the -U option and add the following parameters --cuda-grid-size 2048 --cuda-block-size 128 to prevent the driver crash, however you will be getting less than 1 MHS in terms of hashrate, so pointless.

If you move to Windows 10 the situation is slightly better, but not that much actually.With the latest video drivers 368.39 for Windows 10 you will be able to mine Ethereum, unlike on Windows 7/8.x, but the hashrate you will get is still going to be disappointingly low at just about 4-5 MHS.Again a driver issues, however there is a talk about an upcoming driver update that should fix the problem of low hashrate at least for Windows 10 that is expected sometime next month (we cannot confirm this however).So the only thing that is left to do if you already got a GTX 1080 GPU or more than one and want to mine Ethereum with it is to go for Linux.Under Linux people are reporting about 23 MHS on average as hashrate for mining Ethereum on GTX 1080, a speed that is a bit higher than what you can get from GTX 970, GTX 980 or GTX 980 Ti, but still a bit disappointing compared to what you can get from high-end AMD GPUs.The GTX 1070 that we already mentioned is doing better for Ethereum should be capable of around 27 MHS under Linux (in Windows they apparently have the same low performance issues for the moment), though we have not yet been able to personally verify that.

So even with the low power consumption these hashrates from the GTX 1080/1070 are not that great and when you add in the high price of the GPUs at the moment and the driver issues with Windows, you can pretty much forget about being happy with mining Ethereum with these video cards.They should be better capable for other altcoin algorithms that are not memory intensive like Ethereum and we are off to checking that next, so stay tuned for more results.– To download and try the latest Ethminer 0.9.41-genoil-1.1.3 pre-release for Windows OS…sell litecoin to euro:” (ya incluido en la carpeta de la descarga) y ponerlo en la carpeta donde descomprimimos el software, solo da click en el (no hay problema por los permisos de administrador).Mis configuraciones de ethminer en la pool de minergate.Si le das click, ahora comenzará a funcionar el software, deja tu computadora unas horas funcionando para que comiences a tener buen crédito.Si todo salió bien entonces verás en tu panel de minergate que ya estás generando ethers.Para pasar tus ethers a bitcoins puedes usar un trader como hitbtc y a su vez mandarlo a Bitso para comprar pesos mexicanos.bitcoin cheating scam

Intel Core X AMD EPYC Ethereum Core i9-7900X Cryptocurrency Vega home News NVIDIA Allegedly Readying Headless Pascal Crypto-Mining GPUs For Ethereum, Bitcoin And Others The so-called cryptocurrency market is booming, or at least parts of it are.One of the most popular digital currencies is Bitcoin.It recently topped the $3,000 mark for the first time since its debut in 2009, and had you owned just $27 worth at that time, you'd be sitting on $15,000,000.litecoin gpu mining worth itWhile volatile, the price just keeps going up over time.bitcoin randyThis has kept the mining market alive, and NVIDIA reportedly plans to capitalize on it by releasing specialized Pascal cards tuned specifically for digging up crytocurrencies.bitcoin wert in 10 jahren

News of NVIDIA's plans can be found all over the web, though most reports trace back to a couple of sources.One is a tech site called Goldfries that claims it received word that a dedicated mining GPU is in the works and that it will arrive around the middle of next month.These specialized graphics cards will not have any display outputs because they're not meant for gaming, graphics work, or anything that requires a monitor.The mining version of this card will not have any display outputs.bitcoin dhsAt least one of the GPUs is said to be based on NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card with 6GB of GDDR5 memory.ethereum miner statsIt will stick to reference clocks with base and boost clockspeeds set at 1,506MHz and 1,708MHz, respectively, though add-in board partners may opt to overclock.bitcoin escrow paypal

The card will take up two expansion slots, just as a regular GeForce GTX 1060, and will be backed by a three-month warranty.Pricing is expected to be around $200, which is around $50 less than the regular variant.Here is a look at that card: Image Source: Expreview As you can see, it doesn't look like the gaming variant.It features a custom PCB and has a passive cooling solution that consists of a finned aluminum block.There is no active blower on this card; keeping it cool will require adequate airflow in a chassis and/or an open-air configuration.bitcoin forex metatraderIt's also said that NVIDIA is working on a mining card based on its more powerful GeForce GTX 1080 GPU.NVIDIA is also sticking to reference clocks with this one—1,60MHz base and 1,733MHz boost—though it remains to be seen if its AIB partners offer overclocked models.Either way, these cards will be optimized for cryptocurrency mining.

Pricing will start at $350, versus $499 for gaming models.Image Source: WCCFTech Whether or not some variants come with active cooling is not yet known.Either way, expect board partners such as MSI, Inno3D, and others to get in on the action with specialized cards for miners.One of the other main sources of leaks on this subject is Videocardz, a rumor site that is hit or miss when it comes to this sort of thing.The site claims that dedicated mining systems will be offered with specialized graphics cards inside.One of them will feature a mobile Celeron processor paired with 4GB of DDR3 RAM and a 64GB mSATA solid state drive.Everything will housed in a sturdy enclosure that resists dusts and has plenty of airflow to keep temperatures in check.These cards and rigs will used to mine Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other similar crytpocurrencies.If you haven't heard of it before, Ethereum is a newer type of digital currency that is attracting considerable attention among miners as of late.Ethereum's value has skyrocketed since being introduced two years ago and it now has a market cap of more than $34.5 billion, compared to Bitcoin's market cap of $42.4 billion.
