[News] NVIDIA Titan V Achieves 82 MH/s in Ethereum Mining

"But how well does it mine?" This is one of the questions in the mind of many in the enthusiast community whenever a new GPU is launched. These are a fickle lot, to be sure; their primary interest is the power/performance ratio of any graphics card, which enables miners to maximize profits. Price/performance isn't much of a concern when users are confident they'll recoup the totality of their investment in the medium run - and sometimes even the short run, if recent changes in Ethereum pricing are any indication.

The folks at HotHardware have put an NVIDIA Titan V through its paces in Ethereum mining, eager to see this Volta-based chips' prowess in this type of workloads. Titan V reveals itself as a graphics card that achieves 69 MH/s at stock settings - and an even more impressive 82 MH/s when slightly overclocked. Overclocking methodology was simple - increase temperature and power targets for the Titan V, and then increase memory frequency until a bottleneck was found. And voila. The Titan V was happily churning out 82 MH/s in version 10.2 of the Claymore Miner - more than double the output of an RX Vega 64 and Titan Xp. Power consumption wasn't detailed in this test, and the Titan V would almost definitely consume more power than a Titan Xp - the chip is double the size - but when we take into account the fact that its TDP is the same, that it's built on a 12 nm process against the Titan Xp's 16 nm, and that it uses HBM2 memory instead of GDDR5X... Well, the differences likely aren't anything to write home about. But the performance is. I'll leave it over to our expert miners to say whether they'd invest in a Titan V for mining - all $2,999 of it.

RX Vega 64 can do more than 37.72 MH/s. That being said, how much power is the TITAN V using to get 82.07?

Also, PoS is coming so . . . whatever guys.

they are 250W for deep learning and gaming loads.

Well that's a start. Too bad the linked article has nothing about mining power consumption.

did they change how boost works? if you dont change settings it should do 250W no matter what.

I read another mining related article over the weekend showing Vega 64 substantially outperforming the Titan V in XMR monero. Frankly, I was surprised by it but found it interesting that it could win any compute task given the new Titan's impressive die.

Monero mining software is strong on AMD's cards. Perhaps with some software optimization, it'll get better on Titan V, but still the price/performance ratio will favor the AMD cards, warts and all.
