Does anyone know how AMD Tonga based GPUs (380X/380/285) do versus Tahiti (280X/280/7970/7950) at cryptonote mining? Does the reduced memory bandwidth affect Tonga negatively? If so, is it offset by lower power consumption?
Mining Hardware
Wondering what hardware other Monero miners are using?
-What hash rate are you getting?
-How much are you pulling at the power socket?
-What software are you running?
-Any other important info you might feel is relative?
Hello, I am newbie.Please tell me what equipment to buy and where to buy it for mining Monero?
depends. Do you want the most efficient, power wise? Or the most powerful? nvidia is really efficient, but AMD is most dense. I.e., a 750 ti gets you 250 h/s for ~100$ for only 30 watts, whereas a 290X gets you ~700 h/s but uses ~200 watts or something.
Yes you can mine with it but I don't believe it will be worth it for you unless you have almost free electricity. You can post the exact model if you like. I have a dual core pentium which doesn't have AES-NI capabilities which is one reason it sucks and the other is it doesn't have much L3 cache which is another important factor, 2MB per core is best.
My HR is about 35 H/s using both cores which = 100% CPU usage and it would take me well over a month to mine 1 XMR at the present difficulty and reward. I imagine it would be about the same or worse for you.
morning! after seein the hashrate drop the last days, I though I give mining a try. my amd six-core cpu is doing around 120 H/s with wolf0's cpuminer. I havent figured out how to mine with my gpu yet(anyone have a nice link for a mining noob?), but since it's only a radeon hd 7700 I'm not sure if that does make sense after all.
