gtx 1070 performancestate p2 problem - mining ethereum

[Hekmeneer]

Hello,

My gtx 1070 gigabyte g1 doesnt go into performancestate p0 when mining ethereum.

nvidia-smi -q -d performance tells me it is in p2 and that clock throttle reason unknown is active.

if i check nvidia-smi it doesnt show supported clocks either and also nvidia-smi doesnt allow me to adjust the clocks

when i try to do anything related to clockspeed it tells me: "Setting applications clocks is not supported for GPU 0000:01:00.0."
im on driver 382.53 on windows 10,  i used DDU to uninstall drivers and installed the newest drivers, i also disabled the igpu on the processor, but it didnt help
i use claymore miner, the latest version and other miners dont fix the problem

if you have any idea on why this is happing and how i could fix it please let me know

 

Thanks

You should be mining Zcash, it's more profitable for your card. The difference is close to 50% more profit per day.

Try using gpu-z and see what that reports is happening.

 

I only just put my 1070 FE onto nicehash today. It is flipping between etherium and zcash, depending on short term market values of each. Pascal isn't bad at etherium, older maxwell does far worse. My problem with the 1070 is it is bouncing off thermal throttle. I'll try moving the PC to a different location later.

i have put ubuntu server on the machine, but it didnt help when im mining it still does not go higher then P2

this is a screenshot of the output of "nvidia-smi -q -d performance" when mining on ubuntu server 16.04

its the same problem as i had on windows 10 also with no supported clocks listed and blocked clockspeed settings

This right here. The profit difference between mining Zcash and Ethereum for the 1070 was about 8-10% more per day mining Zcash over Ethereum. This miner has been the one with the highest profit per day that I've found: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1707546.0

Has some already made batchfiles for the most common pools which should just need a small modification to get it going. Using this for my 1080 and it gets between 512 and 550 Sol/s (For some reason having twitch running in the background increases the Sol/s rate for my card. Gotta mine fast???)

As of today, the amount you'd mine for ETH is about $5.62 and for ZEC it's about $6.07, or at about 92% of the earning potential mining ETH over ZEC.
