Cost per month mining

Anyone can do a quick calculation on how much electricity will 4 x 1070 ti consume per month?

250w max x4 = 1kwh

24kw per day x R2.2 residential rate = R60 per day worst case basically.

So thats R600 every 10 days and R1800 per month


Sorry i worked out for 1080ti.

Expect to be around R1200 for the 1070ti x4

So will one 1080ti be about 400-450 a month?

Incorrect, as you don't have to hit maximum TDP while mining. You can get 90 % the hash rate at 180w.

not fighting just saying ->

The calculation i did was for worst case, as not everyone can tune their pcs to maximum efficiency. Most noob miners would just plug, play and pray.

Even though the GPU may run at 180watts as you suggest, it could still spike up to max tdp.

and if the miner plugs in 4x 1080tis onto a 750w psu because he thinks only uses 180w per card then he is deeply mistaken.

It works, I've done plenty of builds to more or less that effect without complaints.
 
So I'm hitting 160mh/s with 4 x 1070ti (110w to 120w average) and 1 x RX580 at unknown wattage (ethcontrol doesn't show for some reason).

So tell me if I'm wrong. If my cards consume 510W + let's say another 150W for CPU so 650W * 24 = 15,6kw * 31 days = 483,6 * R2.20 = R1 063,92 per month?

Where can I check the rate per hour for Pretoria East, Val de Grace?

Municipality's website. And yes, your calculation is correct assuming you pay a flat rate which nobody does.

So this from Municipality of Tshwane's website. Prices for 2016/17 they don't have 2017/18 there yet. Also not sure if I chose the correct category.

"

1.1 DOMESTIC STANDARD SUPPLY SINGLE- AND THREE-PHASE: CONVENTIONAL AND PREPAID


For a connection with a conventional meter, energy consumed per thirty day period since the previous meter reading is charged per month or part of a month. Prepaid energy purchases are charged per calendar month.


The energy tariff charge/kWh- inclusive of environmental levy of 5.5c/kWh is the following:


1.1.1 1 - 100 kWh
130,32c
1.1.2 101 - 400 kWh
152,50c
1.1.3 401 - 650 kWh
166,10c
1.1.4 >650 kWh
179,00c

Basically if your mining rig draws power from your house you can only ever estimate usage. I would use the highest tariff and work from that. Also I think those rates are excluding vat.
