Someone needs to tell coinotron to calm down on their hashrates a bit… theyre kinda getting every other block and ~50% of the network hashrate, a bit greedy!

Actually looking at the other entries on the chart all the power values seem to be on the high side. I know some of those were applicable when using scrypt settings and overclocking, but for instance the 280x cards are showing 250 watts each. I have some 4x 280x rigs as well and they are only drawing about 150 watts each, also undervolted, and mildly overclocked.
The rig I am using for reference (4X 280x) draws 660 watts total from the wall, I first check the idle usage, which draws about 60 watts, then check after it has been mining for about 5 minutes, which is the 660 watt figure. Again subtracting the 60 system watts and dividing the remaining 600 watts by 4 gives me an average of 150 watts per card. These are giving me ~315 kHash each with a mild 1100 core and 1500 memory overclock. Since they are undervolted they are not stable much higher, but I only get maybe 10-20 more khash each for quite a large increase in power draw, so not worth it in my opinion.
Edit: Actually on further investigation, if I ran a 280x giving only 315 kHash at a 250 watt power draw (let’s assume this includes the pro-rated share of the system draw as well; i.e. 230 watt GPU 20 watts system on a multi-GPU rig), this would work out to just breaking even if you pay $0.08 per kw/hour. You would not be in profit unless you were paying $0.07 or less per kw/hour, which unfortunately in my case is closer to $0.10.
I have to approve the submissions first (stops people spamming silly entries)
Edit: also, where did you get your power value from? Is this measured at the wall or via gpu-z? As 80w consumption from a 180w R9 270x is a little odd :P i’ll assume you meant 180 and it was a typo unless you can prove otherwise :)
Edit 2: I’m not sure on many of the specs, cores, power, datarate dont match to what an R9 270x has, can you use GPU-z (get it here: http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/2418/techpowerup-gpu-z-v0-8-0/) to get your information and re-enter it?
Thanks
Yeah, the bus width and stuff I had placeholder info, I was going to look it up and update later. I misunderstood how the submission worked, thought it would be real time and not big a big deal to update it right away.
The power values are correct using under-volted cards. I measured a 4x 270x rig drawing 370 watts total from the wall, subtract the 50 watts idle for the system and divide by 4 to get the per card wattage.
Edit: Resubmitted with correct values from GPUz.
Also, I tried adding (Elpida) on the memory entry, so “GDDR5 (Elpida)” but there were not enough allowed characters in the field, perhaps you could extend the field length to allow a few more extra?
I cleaned up the getting started page to more clearly indicate neoscrypt. I also added launch settings for sgminer which is probably the most efficient neoscrypt miner at the present time.
sgminer --algorithm neoscrypt -I 13 -w 256 -g 2 -o stratum+tcp://ftc.hashpersec.com:3333 -u Weblogin.WorkerName -p WorkerPassword
I included some additional default settings to get most people going right off the bat with fairly decent hash rate. I know there are more optimal settings, but I wanted to stick with somewhat conservative settings for stability to get people going right away, after which they can tweak to get more performance.
Ummmm? ??? Is hashpersec using neoscript?
./cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://ftc.hashpersec.com:3333 -u Weblogin.WorkerName -p WorkerPassword
Please use “neoscrypt” for the algorithm. Thanks for pointing this out.
I think those are the generic setup instructions with MPOS, I’ll poke around and see if I can change it to specify neoscrypt. The port and everything else is correct though, stratum 3333.
I attempted to add some R9 270x settings, but once I finished submitting the form the settings do not seem to appear in the main table. I don’t know if i did something wrong or if the submissions are moderated and need to be approved.
