NVIDIA Titan V Achieves 82 MH/s in Ethereum Mining
"But how well does it mine?" This is one of the questions in the mind of many in the enthusiast community whenever a new GPU is launched. These are a fickle lot, to be sure; their primary interest is the power/performance ratio of any graphics card, which enables miners to maximize profits. Price/performance isn't much of a concern when users are confident they'll recoup the totality of their investment in the medium run - and sometimes even the short run, if recent changes in Ethereum pricing are any indication.
The folks at HotHardware have put an NVIDIA Titan V through its paces in Ethereum mining, eager to see this Volta-based chips' prowess in this type of workloads. Titan V reveals itself as a graphics card that achieves 69 MH/s at stock settings - and an even more impressive 82 MH/s when slightly overclocked. Overclocking methodology was simple - increase temperature and power targets for the Titan V, and then increase memory frequency until a bottleneck was found. And voila. The Titan V was happily churning out 82 MH/s in version 10.2 of the Claymore Miner - more than double the output of an RX Vega 64 and Titan Xp. Power consumption wasn't detailed in this test, and the Titan V would almost definitely consume more power than a Titan Xp - the chip is double the size - but when we take into account the fact that its TDP is the same, that it's built on a 12 nm process against the Titan Xp's 16 nm, and that it uses HBM2 memory instead of GDDR5X... Well, the differences likely aren't anything to write home about. But the performance is. I'll leave it over to our expert miners to say whether they'd invest in a Titan V for mining - all $2,999 of it.

Total system power is @500W for 2 x V64s doing this.
As mentioned, given the profit margin at the moment I'd rather get more V64 cards for less outlay ...
O/T: I'm liking the new forum design. :)
Let's say I buy three 1070's at $450. That is $1,350 with at least 90MH's and each card if clocked right is 100 watts per card.

This Nvidia Titan V at $3,000 dollars. Not sure on the power output yet, but I'm going to assume it is going to be decently high. It will probably be a little lower than three graphic cards though. The msrp price is the real problem here. Only an idiot would buy that for mining. At that price bracket you might as well look into ant miners which blows all of these numbers out of the water involving hashing rates.
I just wanted to say i fkin love the new look of the website, good job whoever did it

You are right, they buy the Titan V to lock it up in their pc case, never use it's full potential being afraid to ruin it, and always brag about owning one.
:toast:
but forget mining unless its for fun.. just buy some eth or litecoin.. $3000 spent on litecoin a couple of weeks ago would now be worth over $10000 dollars.. enough to buy several titan V cards if you are daft enough to want some..

my 8 x 1070 rig cost me about £4000 to build three months back.. a waste of money really because if i had simply spent the same money on buying bitcoin.. about 1.25 bitcoin at the time.. i would now be sitting on $20000 dollars worth of bitcoin..
as i say unless you are doing it for fun mining isnt the way to do it.. not when crypto prices are going up so quickly.. i did have to learn this the hard way.. :)
i am still mining but only because i already bought the hardware.. but to make money i have simply started buying litecoin or eth..
trognot true.. not unless the entire crypo scene collapses but then it wont be worth mining anyway.. :)
