    Testing PROGPOW with AMD RX580 8GB and GTX 1060 3GB. My findings

    In case anyone was interested if ETH does change algo going to ProgPOW I did some testing with cards I had on hand and probably what most gamers/miners use Mid-range GPUs. Even a low-end GPU I had on hand for fun! Here's what I noticed

    RX580's Min of 8.5-9mh/s~ max of 10.5~ Huge increase in power, lowest I saw was 170w - Highest 230w!

    GTX 1060 GB 5.8-6mh/s~ max of 7mh/s Lowest power was 85w highest was 140w

    RX 460 3.1mh/s minor .01mh/s changes in overclocking mem/core or modding BIOs

    RX 460 (unlocked shaders) 3.5mh/s again no changes when overclocking, netting .4mh/s increase with more shaders.

    RX580's did not see any improvements when solely overclocking the memory, all the way up to 2300mhz memory OC. Only started to see improvements in hashrate when overclocking the core from 1200 up to 1400. However, power consumption was insane at 1400core 1150mv used 220w GPU+Riser!

    GTX 1060 3GB seems hampered by its 192 bit-bus GTX 1060 6GB might net a slightly high hashrate because of the extra shaders but the "GTX 1060ti" with GDDR5X might actually do well. Going from 100% power to 75% power saw very minor differences in hashrate. Only saw a major drop when I hit around 60% power. 65% power + core overclock seemed to be the "sweet spot"

    RX 460 only saw an increase with increasing the shaders and saw no improvement when OCing memory just like RX 580. Seems the 128bit-bus hampers greatly. PROGPOW requires high-bus such as HBM and many shaders. Core speed only counts when it's very low, shader count seems more important.

    TLDR;

    RX 580 increases in power + 50%

    GTX1060 1.2mh/s difference in speed between 100% power and 60%

    RX 460 unlocked shader helped increase hashrate. Overclocking the GPU did nothing.

    ETHpill exists for GDDR6

    Posted: 04 Nov 2018 07:28 PM PST

    So during PROGPOW at DevCon Miss Minehan let slip that they have already(obviously) privately created a GDDR6 "ETHPILL". Nothing else known, except that they'll probably use it on there own "Mineority" farm.

    As an aside, PROGPOW is a harder version of ETH-Hash mean it severely depends on memory bandwidth and GPU cores.

    GDDR6/GDDR5X/HBM will be kings if PROGPOW becomes implemented and Polaris (RX 500/400 series) will suffer from an increase in power.

    is an 1200w hp server psu enough for 5 vega 64?

    is an 1200w hp server psu enough for 5 vega 64?

    Hi everyone

    i want to buy a server power supply for 5 vega 64 monero mining rig and i was wondering if a 1200w platinum HP server PSU is enough for 5 vega 64, Motherboard and cpu ( G400). i am using a riserless motherboard (biostar tb205-btc d+) so there is no riser and it uses laptop ddr4 ram which consumes less power too.

    i will buy 3 more vega in the future and then i will add another PSU for them, but for now i want to be absolutely sure that this 1200w PSU is have enough power for 5.

    thanks
