How to increase my RTX 3070 TI Hash rate and lower wattage?

[josh1990123]

Newbie miner alert here. I am looking for some guidance from someone more advanced than myself, which should be too difficult considering I have around 7 days mining experience.

First mining rig set up (if you can call 1 gpu a mining rig!) using the following components and the best I can do is 54mh/s hashrate with the GPU consuming 170W. Now this is frustrating when I have seen numerous posts on here claiming these will use 120w comfortably getting 60mh/s hashrate.

h110 pro BTC+ 13x pci motherboard

Crucial 8gb DDR4-2666 CL19 Non ecc (RAM)

Corsair HX1200 1200W power supply

RTX 3070 TI Gpu

Intel pentium g4400 CPU



I am mining using simplemining.net and my gpu settings are:


If anyone can see where I am going wrong or what I should be doing it would be greatly appreciated if you could give me this info. I have tried to learn myself using the usual methods, tweaking settings, reading posts on here and a lot of youtube videos but I have hit a wall for now.

54 sounds ok. Doesnt the Ti have a hashrate limiter?

are you so desperate for your 50pence to £1 per day that you start mining as its on its last legs?

Unless your getting free electricity it really doesnt seem worth the hassle to me with the current energy prices

I'm not familiar with SimpleMining but are those the final clocks?

For best hashrate/lowest power consumption you should be dropping the core 250mhz or so to somewhere around 1325-1350mhz and bumping the memory clock significantly (+1500-2000mhz). It looks like you're running with stock core clocks and close to 300mhz underclock on the memory

Frozennova beat me to it but yeah, I run a non-LHR 3070 and get just under 65mh/s with the Core clock set to 1395 (3D clocks don't kick in below that) and the VRAM running at 8668 (+1668) - Spud and Alt are right though - unless you're getting cheap electricity, your costs may work out to be more than what you get from mining. I've just switched to only mining off-peak as my day rate has gone up to 27p kw/h (from 17 ).

surely at those figures if paying elec, they lucky to even hit 30p per day and now with april price rises would be a loss, unless they getting free elec

Depends on what BTC/ETH is doing - the price fluctuates wildly - it may not seem profitable at the moment but Ethereum will go up again. I trade and stake with my earnings so anything I mine just gets added to the pot, but if you just want to invest in crypto, right now it makes more sense just to wait for a dip and buy some.

 

[MCFC_ANDY]

for sure you could see it that way, though april could be the tipping point if paying energy

 

[Aegis]

Oh, absolutely - that's why I'm just mining off-peak now.

Could I ask what watt you have yours set at please?

I don't usually pay attention to that since I use MSI AfterBurner to set the clocks - in my case, I just run the card at the lowest core clock that enables the 3D clocks (1395 for my 3070 but YMMV) - however, T-Rex (the miner) reports that as 130W for 494kH/W (64.69 MH/s). VRAM is clocked at 8468MHz (+1668).

*Edit* do be careful OC'ing the VRAM on your Ti though - the vanilla 3070 uses GDDR6 whereas your Ti uses GDDR6X - don't expect to get the same results and be careful of your temps - 3080/90 users have said that the 6X VRAM runs pretty hot.

@josh1990123 There's a specific mining / crypto sub-forum this belongs in that your account does not yet have access to (as the account is too new).

Normally I'd have moved this thread but as you'll loose access to it , I'm closing this thread instead.

Please do not open a new thread on the matter until you can see the Crypto sub-forum.
