750ti for mining?

[UltimateDave]

I currently use a gtx 780 as my main gpu because i do heavy gaming, but i was thinking that because the 750ti has such good power comsumption and gets 300kh/s while mining that i might get it as a mining only card. 1. Would it be worth it for mining constantly in the background as a beginner (sorta) at mining and 2. Would this even work?

I wouldn't bother, I think AMD have the mining market all to themselves since their cards are able to do a lot more

[Ivyk]

Sell the 750Ti and buy an AMD card to mine lol.

[Almercenary]

AMD=good mining as a general rule.  270x under full load doesn't pull THAT much

if you going for a 270x you might as well go for a 270 as it has 1 less 6 pin  power connector dependent on what brand you go for.

I haven't bought it lol, i was considering it.

Wouldn't there be massive driver issues if i did this?

i do  not think so as i have seen people who fold@home using amd for the folding and then a nvidia gpu for gaming at the same time.

nope, should work fine

Where did you see that the 750Ti gets 300 kh/s?

Cuda miner is doing better now than it was a few months ago...

So if you want to compare mining performance then look at Cuda cores comparison.

GTX 750 = 512

GTX 750ti = 640

GTX 760 = 1152

GTX 770 = 1536

GTX 780 = 2304

GTX TITAN = 2688

GTX 780ti = 2880

GTX TITAN BLACK = 2880

 

 

Whilst its not really linear, I suggest you dont spend money on a 750ti for mining.

So go amd? Or just use my 780 i have here but just not all the time.

[.:MARK:.]

Yeah go AMD, they are always better at mining but the advancements that cudaminer is getting means you may be able to mine with a 780, just mind your power bills.

Alrighty then

[BallaTheFeared]

750 Ti has the highest kh/w ratio out of all cards.

I might pick one up myself, the cudaminer is highly depended on correct settings and uarch support and despite that the 750 Ti is still doing what it does while generating a lot of buzz in the mining community.

Problem with the 750 Ti is that it also currently without optimizations has low kh/slot.

750 Ti isn't a bad card to start mining with. Its amazing kh/w, hashing power, and entry cost make it a great option to test the waters with. If you don't like mining it isn't completely worthless to you as you can always use it for other things like a dedicated phyxs x card. The near nothing idle consumption really helps as well.

Its not a max profit solution, but it will pay for itself faster than a 270 and its very low risk since it has more possible purposes outside mining.

Dedicated Physx solutions are a thing of the past. Any cards 600 series and newer don't benefit at all from the inclusion of a dedicated physx cards. If anything, it slows down the performance. Even then, so few games actually bother to utilize physx.

Assuming miners don't inflate the price of the R7 265, wouldn't this pay for itself faster than the GTX750 Ti? They are priced similarly, the R7 265 is faster in games, but I don't get your point in bold....what? AMD cards have less possible purpose outside mining? Is that what you're trying to say?

It would only regress if the card doing PhysX was slower at doing the work than the card doing the rendering and physx at the same time.

I have no idea what the 265 will retail at, the 270 was used because it's out and was commented on (270x, but that is pointless vs the 270).

270 is $260~ in the states.

750 Ti is $160~ in the same.

270 OC ~ 450 kh/s @ 175w

Currently 750 Ti OC 300 kh/s @ 60w

270 - 450 @ 175w /w 15 cent kwh is $1.55 profit - 10% for fees and stalls = $1.39 per day

270 - Break Even @ 187 days all things the same.

750 Ti - 300 @ 60w /w 15 cent kwh is $1.24 profit - 10% = $1.12 per day

750 Ti - Break Even @ 129 days all things the same.

Toms hardware mentioned power wise and likely price wise in the us 4 of these would do better than a 290x amd use less power.

What do you mean?

Amd and Nvidia Drivers running at the same time?

Ohh, I think it is possible but I wouldn't recommend it

[Mentalguy]

I do it, you need to have a monitor or a dummy plug on the amd card or it wont read temps.

[Lays]

Lol........ All these people have their heads shoved so far up their butts when it comes to mining.  Just because something gets better khash/s doesn't mean it's a good thing.  If the ratio of dollars to khash/s is higher, (in this case a 750 ti is literally the king of this) then it's a better deal.

 

 

750 ti's are like 1.875 khash/s per dollar.   Whilst 270x's are 1.54 khash/ per dollar, 280x's are 1.26, 290's are 1.2333, and 290x's are 1.185.

 

 

 

 

Seriously people, use your brain.
