Nvidia Geforce GTX Titan XP in cryptocurrency mining in 2019

Details

Created: Tuesday, 15 October 2019 05:33

The Geforce Titan line of graphics cards is Nvidia's maximum graphics performance available in the consumer market. The Geforce Titan XP video card came out in 2017 along with the GTX10X0 generation video cards and was not only the most powerful gaming solution at that time, but also the most expensive. At the time of the sale, Nvidia Geforce Titan XP cost $ 1,200, which was much more expensive than the popular GTX1080ti  for 700USD. In 2019, the used Titan XP can be bought  for 700-800USD, which is equivalent in price to the new RTX2080 and RTX2080 Super. Next, we will test Titan XP in cryptocurrency mining to determine whether the purchase of such video cards will be more profitable in comparison with other solutions.

The Canaan company on its website launched two new ASIC miner models for the SHA-256 mining algorithm - AvalonMiner 1066 and AvalonMiner 1047. Model 1066 has a performance of 50TH/s, and the younger model 1047 has only 37TH/s. At the same time, the energy efficiency of new products leaves much to be desired - 63J/GH. For comparison, the latest new product from Bitmain - Antminer S17 + has an energy efficiency of 40J/GH, which is 50% better. But new products from Bitmain are much more expensive. Cannaan's ASICs cost 1390USD and 1030USD depending on the model and delivery date. At the same time, the first batch of Avalonminer 1066 and 1047 will be shipped in November 2019.

In 2019, ICOs are no longer in demand in the cryptocurrency market

Details

Attracting investments through an ICO or Initial coin offering became widespread in 2017-2018, when companies that had only one intention in the form of White Paper collected multimillion-dollar investments from cryptocurrency owners, who, in turn, were looking for various options to diversify their investment portfolio on the rapidly growing cryptocurrency market. And as you know in 2018 against the backdrop of the collapse of all cryptocurrencies, almost all ICO projects suffered the same fate, even if you do not count the thousands of ICOs created only to deceive investors. If in 2018, against the backdrop of a clear failure of the ICO market, one could still hear phrases about the maturation of the ICO market, then at the end of 2019 we can safely say about the near death of a similar fundraising model for investors and companies.

MorePowerTool - extreme overclocking of AMD Radeon RX5700 video cards

Details

Created: Friday, 27 September 2019 05:55

Owners of AMD Radeon RX5700 video cards are faced with the problem of overclocking their video cards to the frequencies of the more expensive RX5700XT model, i.e. for the RX5700, the maximum frequency limit is limited in the BIOS of the video card and the popular overclocking tools cannot go beyond the ones installed in the firmware. To circumvent these limitations, the owners of the RX5700 change BIOS from the RX5700XT into their video cards, but such an action deprives you of a guarantee and at the same time can make the video card completely break.

A few days later, a hard fork will take place on the Ravencoin cryptocurrency network (RVN), which will bring with it a new mining algorithm X16rv2 instead of the original X16r, which is currently not relevant for GPU mining due to FPGA and ASIC devices. On October 1, video card owners will again have the opportunity to get a small increase in mining income and the upcoming Ravencoin hard fork, which will be held on October 1 at 16.00 UTC. To take advantage of this opportunity, you need to download and configure miners that support the new mining algorithm X16rv2 in advance or even better, an automatic transition from X16r to X16rv2. To do this, we have selected for you several options for such miners for Nvidia and AMD video cards:
