Profits not as advertised by the calculator need help I'm a newbie to mining!

[Rasil1127]

Hello everyone,

 

I have a GTX 980 and an R9 390 at stock mining using nicehash. The nicehash profitability calculator says I should make about 2.05GBP/Day but it's barely making £1.50 a day often reaching £1.30. Is this something I did wrong? what are the best algorithms for my cards I searched a lot for my specific cards online but I kept getting some other miners other than nicehash. Right now I'm mining with Zhash on the 980 and KAWPOW for the r9.

 

I have uploaded the pictures of my overclocks on both cards.

On the second screenshot it looks like you have no OC applied. Try using the overclocks from Nicehash, they may be a bit high for some cards but the profits are calculated based on those high overclocks.

Nicehash's benchmark finds that out for you, best to let it do its thing. 

 

Profitablility calculator uses numbers for the past few days, which may not be valid now given how much crypto fluctuates.
