Monero Mining Performance

[Klee]

Updated the kernel to 4.10.1-041001-generic and am getting about 20 H/s more now up to ~2321 H/s with dual E5-2667 V3 ES cpu's and dual RX 480's.

Still using Wolfs GPU miner, its been %100 stable.

EDIT: The desktop seems a little "snappier" with all 32 threads mining.

I'm doing 1069 H/s with dual Xeon E5-2640v4 with 25 threads using xmr-stak-cpu on ubuntu. The idrac reports 188watt. I've got 3 nodes. I've got a couple more spare CPU cores on some vmware hosts that could probably chip in some spare cycles too.

I'm contemplating solo mining but I'm not sure how to find out if it would be beneficial or not.

I wouldn't solo at 3kH/s You average block will be like 3 weeks, but your variance will easily mean going 3 months without finding anything....

Somewhere between 150-180 XMR.

No idea. I am accepting XMR for hardware on the FS thread though.

Good day Together...

Just started to explore the Crypto World and also mining...
I have had a unused E5 2698 V4 ES (20 core, 2,3ghz boost, 50mb L3) and a GTX770 4gb card laying around and build myself a quick and dirty miner running W10...

i installed Minergate v6.6 version and just hit start, and achieve 445H/s on the CPU and 279H/s on the GPU without any optimization etc... Power consumption is about 300W

I have started to read here regarding the docker terminal version etc... now my question is, how compare my values with the normal tool to the terminal versions?

is it worth the hassle to mine with another tool?

Im not so familiar with using terminal etc...

Thanks for your Help!
Max

2x Intel Xeon E5-2698 V4 = 1572H/s

@Panamax
Minergate miner software always have lower hashrate.

I use Linux Ubuntu , my single E5-2650 v3 ES produced 460H/s , your E5-2698 V4 CPU is the topdog of CPU, should produced better than mine CPU.
See first post of this thread regarding various CPU H/s.

My Nvidia 750Ti card produced around 220H/s.
With one E5 v3 CPU and 750Ti, my rig consumed around 140w.

I think you be better off switch to Linux and not used MingerGate software.

@Panamax - If you use the docker CPU version, it is one line to run and you should get significantly more H/s. You can install nvidia-docker and do the same on your GPU.

Docker is a 1-2 line copy-paste to install. nvidia-docker 3-5.

sounds good though i like to tinker under the hood but can't with Docker images unless the Dockerfile is also available LOL

@Klee

Thanks for the AMD GPU guide.

Picked up a cheap $145 AR PowerColor RX480, follow your Ubuntu guide and config.
Combined with E5-2650L v3 CPU.
Total Hashrate is 1001H/s

Thinking about another cheap RX480 card soon.

 

[Klee]

I'm glad it worked for you, I tried it again on an older pc and had too many issues. The only newer pc's are for my family and they do not let me do any "playing around" on them.

But i'm selling some stuff and will have some cash freed up in a week or two so I can have a dedicated test pc thats not old and slow.

I'm thinking a single socket 2011-3 and a cheap V3 OEM/ES or V4 ES cpu since i'm getting a tired of "testing" stuff on my main rig.

Also I'm holding off on any GPU purchases until after the new top end AMD one hits, that should drop the prices on the RX480 and 470's .

Also I forgot but this is the guide I used to upgrade to a much newer kernel:

Thanks to Patrick it worked like a charm!!

 

[eva2000]

Thanks to @Patrick took a deep dive into looking at Monero and setup my first Ubunty Zesty 17 docker image with wolf cpuminer compiled with GCC 7.0.1 on CentOS 7.3 64bit host running 4.10.1 kernel.

On Core i7 4790K OVH Gaming server for testing, getting between 295-300H/s from it so far

Playing with Rancher and Portainer for the first time too. Lovely stuff which reminds me that my Centmin Mod LEMP stack project needs to leverage Docker more in future

 

[MiniKnight]

@eva2000 by "gaming server" does it have a GPU too?

Unfortunately not OVH - Benchmarks - OVH Intel Core i7 4790K 32GB 2x240GB Samsung PM863 SSD Review heh

Gaming in context of high cpu clocks heh

Still a good deal for special US$46/month price

 

[modder man]

Why are you wanting to mine on a dedicated box? looks like you would only make $14 a month ish from that box, arent you losing money if that is the case?

 

[eva2000]

already had the 4790k for my centmin mod testing, just started monero on it for testing Guess it's a fixed cost already

Fantastic thread!

So far, is there anything better than the 750 ti as far as hs/watt is concerned? I've done quite a bit or reading / searching and it seems like there is no other graphic card that does better than 200/250 h/s for 30w. (Faster ones seem to eat way more power for each h/s...).

Any other model worth considering that would consume as little electricity as possible to run?

AMD RX 480 and 470 cards seem to do better than Nvidia ones when it comes to Monero. On a slightly tweaked RX 480 Sapphire I'm doing around 570 hashes/second and probably pulling around 70 watts on the GPU itself. I'm going to be tweaking BIOS to try to drop that power usage even more, but for now this is just messing with Afterburner from MSI to adjust down core clock and increase memory clock and fiddling with parameters on the Claymore GPU miner. Check the bitcointalk.org Altcoin forums for tons more discussion on this. Folks with modded BIOS are getting much better ratio of hashes to power.

 

[eva2000]

@m0bilitee is it worth Monero mining on ancient gpus like HD5870 and HD5970 ? Trying to figure it on on CentOS 7.3 with elrepo kernel-ml 4.10.1

 

[Marsh]

I don't mean to question your RX480 70w power usage.
My PowerColor that I got few days ago is producing 574H/s but consumes approx 130w.

Now I have lots to work to do to reduce the power usage.
What is your secret to reduce power usage?

 

[Marsh]

200/250 h/s for 30w

My 750Ti uses approx 50-60w to produce 220H/s.
30w to produce 200-250H/s is fantastic.

I have works to do now.
