The current Power consumption is displayed for both AMD and nVidia GPU's, independent of which mining software being used. The mining profit is calculated and displayed in real time based on the current power consumption, hashrate and the current mining pool.
Power consumption and profitability
Introduction
Awesome Miner can read and display the current power usage of both nVidia and AMD GPU's, independent of which mining software being used.
ASIC miners in general doesn't have any feature where they can report the power usage and for this reason Awesome Miner cannot display the actual power usage, only manually configured values for power usage together with linear power scaling based on the current hashrate.
It's currently only ASIC miners running the Awesome Miner Antminer firmware that can report power usage to Awesome Miner.
Configuration - Global settings
The settings for power and operating costs can be configured in the Options dialog, Profitability section.
Electricity price
o Specify the price of the electricity per kWh.
Add additional power usage, Add additional operating costs
o The settings for additional Power Usage and Operating Cost will only affect the total profit and power usage displayed on the Dashboard tab and in the column summary of the Miners tab
o The additional values will not change the power usage or profit for an individual miner.
o To configure additional power usage and cost per miner, see the Properties of the Profit Profile used by the miner.
o The operating costs are specified per day.
Power usage mode
This setting affect how the current power usage and profit is being displayed. It doesn't affect the profit switcher that is based on static power values.Actual usage: Power usage reported from the GPU. If not available, fallback to either Linear or Static mode
.Linear scaling: The power usage, and as a result also the power cost, will be following the current hashrate of the miner. If a specific algorithm is configured for 1 MH/s at 100 W and the miner is actually performing 2 MH/s, with linear scaling the power usage is assumed to be 200 W.
Static value: The power usage is considered to be exactly what is specified in the Profit Profile
.If a miner doesn't have a specific Profit Profile, the power values are taken from the Options dialog, Algorithms section.
The global settings for algorithm hashrate and power usage can be found in the Options dialog, Algorithms section. These values will be used if no specific profit profile is assigned to a miner.
