what's up guys welcome back to caveman mining on
today's video we are going to jump right to things uh we are going to be mining ergo on the new 6600
rx 6600 xt and that's the msi mech edition and um yeah i don't see too many videos out there as
of today in terms of um mining on this card with ergo especially in hive os so um yeah we're gonna
jump right to it um i'm just gonna show you guys the flight sheets on how we can actually set
up ergo okay go ahead and we'll modify the uh the current flight sheet here and apologies that
the hive os's just seem to be running a little bit slow and so uh what i'm gonna recommend for this
particular card is running the ergo t-rex miner okay i did try the nano miner and i did not have a
lot of success in terms of uh hash rate and being able to kind of spool things up so when you set
up your flight sheet you want to set up erg erg so you can type that in or you can just search
for it on the list uh go ahead and set up your ergo wallet we're going to use hero miners as the
pool and again i mentioned uh team red miner is the miner that we're gonna use and that's
pretty much notoriously known for amd cards okay so uh apply that flight sheet we're going to go
into our worker here and i'm going to open up hive shell just so you guys can take a look and
we're going to just run some stock settings here no overclocks yet and then we will do a comparison
to see um can we increase this uh hash rate up higher in terms of from where it's at
uh stock so you could be able to kind of take a look at that and see where things are
standing and compare so we're going to get into hive shell we're going to get into the minor and
you'll see auto lycos running here so the stock um clocks we see here is 1350 on the
core um 1200 on the megahertz for the kind of uh what do we call soc mhz uh 1000
on the memory okay and we're running at um you know 61 watts of power okay so getting
a couple shares uh there and 55.92 so not crazy bad in terms of the power level okay so
now let's go over to our overclock settings and we are going to just kind of take a profile
for the clock we're going to go with 9 55. i'm going to do the core 950 and the memory
voltage will do 640 to try to kind of tone that down a little bit 11 31 on the memory clock
i'm going to run the fan at full bore at 100 and we're going to go with a hundred on the power
for watts so with the um with the core voltage kind of undervolting and and running the memory
down a little bit that should keep our power levels you know somewhat low and the idea is to
really maximize the hash rate right get as much mega hash as we we possibly can so let's um
take a look here and do another refresh this may take a second because i know ergo's network
in terms of like reporting hash rate tends to take a little time to spool up and we can see
the hash rate's already starting to increase the wattage has actually gone down so that's
a good sign we're going to get back into hive shell and just kind of watch this live uh here
and i've noticed that when applying some of these overclocks it uh it kind of bogs down
and then it starts to ramp back up with ergo versus um you know mining with ethereum everything
stays pretty pretty consistent but let's see if we can kind of ramp up here on the hash rate
i'm gonna go ahead and do another refresh okay it's still not reporting okay so
take a look at that we've got 62.52 and running at 59 watts so that's
actually pretty good in terms of hash rate i've heard of some folks getting you know
6364 and i think i don't know if there's someone out there i haven't seen the video
but someone claims they've got 66 mega hash um but i'm not sure what they are running
for like power or for wattage but in terms of like efficiency like take a look
at this 62.71 so just we're getting just shy of um 63 mega hash and we're gonna hopefully
hold that uh 59 watts again that's not to the wall so that is just software reporting
so i wouldn't say it's super accurate we would like need a power meter at the wall to really be
able to tell uh what we're running there and 62.74 mega hash okay so really ramping up uh in terms
of mega hash now let's get an idea of what this would be for like a return on investment
and profitability for this card running at this mega hash and running at this power uh
wattage so we're gonna tab over to what to mine uh we got a share accepted there 62.75 so
we'll kind of go with that we'll go 62.75 oops we're gonna do just say 60 watts we'll leave
that 12 cents a kilowatt hour the cost of this particular card was uh 559 dollars we'll just say
one percent um dev fee and let's take a look here now with uh the cost of this card and ergo you
know ergo's value this brings us um just under a year um in terms of return on investment so
we've got uh got about 11 months i would say close to about 11 months return on investment so
in the overall grand scheme of things not too bad now this card right they do make a lower
msrp model i think the lowest one is 379.99 if i can type in here i'm going
to go ahead and calculate that and that should be significantly better in terms of
return on investment so that brings to 229 days roughly for getting your money back on this card
um which is actually pretty good so i would say you know if you want to mine ergo on this card
it's definitely up there in terms of cards to um algorithms to mine to you know get
a good return on investment and i think you know definitely look at the following and
the trajectory of ergo right august 3rd which is a month ago from today was five dollars and
32 cents and we've more than uh tripled that so we've we're up to 18.69 and this thing has you
know climbed the wall over 19 1925 yesterday so yeah i mean i can only see the value increasing
um this is a quite popular uh network and algorithm and coin to mine so i know there's quite
a lot of people huddling this coin and just mining as much as as they can so i would say you know um
ethereum is still very profitable it's a coin that uh to keep uh ergo ravencoin ethereum classic
so you know there's definitely quite a few um algorithms in terms of coins to mine right
so we'll just take a look at just the general consensus of things to look at
right ethereum's at the top for this particular card and then you get like
fearow which that's interesting um ravencoin um you know ethereum classic a dollar sixty
you know a dollar sixty nine uh in terms of uh profit and then you know rio ergo uh nice hash
you know algorithms mixed in there as well so you know pretty much anything you're looking at is
still profitable right so um definitely recommend this card i like it i really liked uh doing this
on ethereum as well um the just the sheer wattage and um you know just the power efficiency is just
this card is just so you know calm and quiet with its wattage that makes makes it worth it for me
so yeah if i can get my hands on more of these i will definitely do that but um in terms
of going back to um you know ergo right um overclocks i just want you guys to see so take
a look at my settings here i'm very very curious can anyone squeeze out more mega hash on hive os
i i really have just been searching uh through videos to see if anyone has done a hive os uh
hash rate test for ergo and i can't seem to find anything so take a look at my clocks let me know
in hive what are your clocks and uh i definitely would like to try them to see if i can squeeze
out you know a higher uh hash rate and beat the um you know beat the 62 75 to to really uh top off
in terms of a hash rate and you can see um you know this card's like bounced back down to like 50
mega hash then back up to 62.81 so it's a little kind of jumping all over the place in terms of the
hash rate here and i don't know if that's due to some of the voltage um undervolting
and things of that nature but um yeah we'll we'll keep experimenting with it and
we'll see see how things go so uh yeah guys take a look at the the card uh try it on ergo try
it on hive and let me know even in windows if uh you guys have really experimented to see what
your your clocks are but with that all being said uh we will end the video here uh the next
video we will give a try on ravencoin on this card so we look forward to checking that out but
uh please guys like and subscribe to the video in my channel to keep me going and bringing
you guys some awesome content so just want to thank you all once again and i hope you all
have a wonderful rest of your day take care you
