What RAM your Zotac got?

For two Titan Z? Mining Lbry? Seems to be well below par.

I assume you are mining ETH? In that case the core speed is not helpful, as long as it's not too low (i.e. 1.4GHz-1.5GHz). nVidia Pascal GPU will auto overclock based on the power limit. No point dragging the slider to max when the power is already limited.

TS, shall we start a table to collect cards with mem chip data? So far, I have seen a growing pattern from observing GTX1060 cards selling around in the market. The following is my observation for ETH mining:
1) Mining card is the safest bet, regardless of the RAM manufacturer. It will allow 100% memory controller load. Of course the OC headroom is another story, but no matter what we are guaranteed at least 22 MH/s (~8.4gbps RAM) and higher if you got Samsung.

2) Retail gaming card with Hynix RAM is the worst. The memory controller is limited at 75%-80%. That gives us 15MH/s at stock clock! The OC headroom from my experience is around ~8.3-8.4gbps. That's 19-20MH/s after OC. WEAK.

3) Retail gaming card with Samsung RAM but limited memory controller load. This not only happens in 9gbps version but also 8gbps. The only consolation is the RAM OC headroom is higher. Stock 15MH/s. OCed ~21MH/s depends on luck. Still not as favourable as case (1) because of higher power consumption.

In conclusion, nVidia is forcing us to buy mining edition with shorter warranty. I would like to hear from fellow miners, their experience and luck with recent purchases.

Yes. By selling it off and buy mining card.

I assume you are using Nicehash? That's using Daggerhashimoto for ETH.

If you maxed out at 3MH/s (I assume this is not a typo), then it's Windows 10 update issue. Get the anniversary update and you are good to go.
But that does not mean we fix < 100% mem controller load issue. That's an entirely diff issue.

The mem load thing, so far no solution. nVidia is really sly..

I only mine ETH. So, what I mentioned was only true for ETH. Whether it's normal for Equihash to have non-100% memory controller load, I'm not sure. But you can refer to this calculator: https://new.nicehash.com/profitability-calc....1¤cy=USD
Equihash on GTX970 is around 292 Sol/s. That's the average performance for all GTX970 using the Nicehash. So your performance is still below the average out there.

Sadly this does not work for Pascal GPU.

BGOLD? Good price?

Why did you link it at 71C? Unlink it.
