Cinara posted:Your video card barely does any work for standard web browsing, watching videos, etc, and just short of zero while idle. Mining uses 100% of the cards power. It's going to add 150-250w of load compared to non-gaming tasks. Overall mining will draw significantly less power than running a demanding game since unlike games the CPU is running mostly idle, especially if you also undervolt the card and turn off the monitor.

The only GPU failure I had seen over the past 15 years was a Palit GTX 460 which was artifacting right out of the box, and immediately got exchanged at the local dealer. Besides if you are undervolting for mining that is gonna help a lot for the longevity of the cards too.

Fauxtool posted:yeah but imagine how much you would make with 100 1070s. Nevermind the amount of time it takes to break even, You would be making money just sitting around. Passive income man, no constant maintenance or astronomical power bill. Yeah, and this Volta/Vega thing is gonna just sit around unreleased until you break even. Some people will always be stupid with money since time immemorial: like subscribing to 300% interest instalment plans for a PS4 and/or happily paying only the minimum payment on their CCs until they die.

Stealthgerbil posted:I think instead of telling people that its dumb to buy a mining rig now, I am going to encourage them. I think a lot of the people posting on various forusm want to be told that they should buy a mining rig and I think it would be even more funny in a few months when they sell em for a fraction of the cost. If anything, the time to build a rig will be after this current fad dies down. That way you can get cheap parts and mine some poo poo coins with less competition. IMO the PC DIY scene was already mostly filled with highly impressionable sheep making dubious purchasing decisions even before the first cryptocraze wave showed up.

Junior Jr. posted:Nicehash still, but from what I heard Vega is supposed to kick rear end at mining algorithms, so I don't know if some early guys are already testing it out. Unless there's some magic Fine Wine (tm) buttcoin drivers we don't know about yet, Vega is a complete mining joke in terms of hash/W (even with the current supposedly mining-optimized official drivers) versus GTX 1070 or Polaris, nevermind the pricing and supply hilarity going on. This uarch is a massive failure in every way possible from release date, gaming, mining, power draw, BoM and actual retail price with a sole consolation of Freesync support.

I run 1.8.1.5 on 1070 and found it picks the neoscypt algo most of the time which is a few cents/day better then the rest, but it's uses so much more power that it's trash in $/W so I disabled it.

DrDork posted:Modern LED bulbs are pretty legit. CCFLs, though, are usually a rip off and will rarely pay for themselves. The biggest offenders for wasted energy are air conditioners, electric stoves, and electric water heaters. If you've got inefficient ones of those, you're gonna notice pretty quick on your electric bill. LEDs are already cheaper and superior in every way than CFLs that the latter has zero reason to exist. My bathroom have the $1 IKEA 5W LED bulb while my rooms are 24W ceiling plate types at $2 each shipped direct from China since 2014. All of them are so much more reliable than the CFL tubes they replaced and doesn't make an annoying humming noise.
