GPU mining while mining BURST?
-
So I have a AMD Ryzen 5 with 6 cores and a RX580 4gb.
Im mining burst using 30TB. For my plot size do I need to use a gpu-assisted miner such as Jminer?
And if I do, would I still be able to GPU mine another coin like ZEC or ETH?
Is it even worth it to mine another alt coin with my one GPU and if so what should I mine?
I want to maximize the profits coming from my computer as thats all I use it for.

Not exactly 99% idle. If you can GPU scan in 60secs (a good time) with the average block being 4 minutes your idle 75% of the time. Still doable but it's not 99%
I wrote this assuming a large plot size. 30TB is probably closer to 95% idle. The more you scan the less idle time.

If it takes your GPU 60 seconds to scan 30TB your doing something wrong and should just switch to the CPU miner since the times will b the same and dedicate the full time to other cryptos

True, like I said I was thinking in the 100-150TB range when I originally posted.

@manfromafar @rds what coin should i mine using my GPU, Monero, Zec, ETH?

That is a good question that I cannot answer. I'm a burstminer as since I'm a digital hoarder and have tons of space but not much else.
-
@cretin zec at -i 0 because it will get in the way, while its searching for dls and both will slow down ( have experience :p )
-
I mine crypto and burst on the same machine. I always use CPU for scanning and the GPUs only mine. Never had an issue doing it that way and the GPUs don't get bothered. Obviously mining crypto makes more money, so they get priority... at least on my rigs.

I want to maximize the profits coming from my computer as thats all I use it for.Sure you can, I am Burst mining, GPU mining and cpu mining. JUst leave one thread free on the cpu for reserve.

i thought that CPU would go through plotting like butter

"that" are you referring to the ryzen?
Depends on what ryzen and "which series" and if it is overclocked.
https://www.amd.com/en/ryzen-7
https://www.amd.com/en/ryzen-51800x overclocked @ 4GHz or more would rip through plotting.
-
@Hitti2 'm thinking of a 1700x build and would use it for plotting also, anyone got nonce numbers using Ryzen series cpus?
-
@Hitti2 yes i was referring to ryzen i'll probably get one in another 5 years lol they're not cheap to buy
-
-
@Hitti2 What size are your plot files? some of those read times seem insane (0.2s?!)
-
-
@Hitti2 Gotcha, some smaller plot drives :P I was thinking you have a bunch of storage with those seek times, so my mind was blown. Makes more since now.
Also, your plotting window...
If you expand the window (right-click the title bar -> properties -> layout) and increase the width of the screen buffer and window size, it won't go all ugly and keep spamming out those yellow percentage updates on every line. If you expand the window, it'll update the same line with percentages instead of making a new line for every one. Like this:

Cool tip :) Thanks.
