This good for GTX 1070?

Not sure if this is any good for 1070, running without mining on my i5 6600k (I assume its not worth against power costs). Running for about a week now, sitting at around 43-44c with fans tuned up slightly (AMP Exterme). Using Nice hash miner 2.0.0.5. Anything I can do to improve?

I'm using nicehash with a i3 530/GTX 1070 (zotac, no overclock/undervolt)

The dedicated EWBF miner does about ~450H/s, or at least should in theory.

That isn't to bad. You will get better results if you use a dedicated miner as someone else said. I like ewbf's cuda miner for zcash (equihash) personally. Though there is something to be said about nice hash doing everything for you.

Maybe get a newer AMD card, as it provides more compute power. But, yeah that it good for a 1070.

It would still be better than a 580 in terms of overall performance (That would only have better value/ROI), plus I bought it as a gaming GPU primarily, I just mine to get some money back.

Ahh. Yeah, just stick with the 1070 then.

RX580 and GTX1070 are both extremly efficient but for different coins. 

 

If he's going to use Nicehash due to practicality and the fact that he will be paid in BTC, either of those will be profittable. More so, the hash power in equihash with GTX 1070 i believe it sets that card among the most profitables cards per day.

I don't know what "for different coins" means, but the 580 definitely is NOT power efficient by today's standards. It's a 480 that consumes even more power.

For the amount of profit you can make off them, it is.

You can still mod the 580s to get similar performance per watt to the 480 in mining. Same goes with the 570s.

 

More so while mining ETH you usually underclock your GPU and overclock your VRAM anyway.

I get about the same result on my Asus 1070 Turbo

What I get on my GTX 1070 (zotac)

90% TDP, 1975mhz core, 3975mhz mem

20 passes, windows 10 (fresh), nicehash.
