Title: which is better for x11 amd or nvidia
Post by: vince232 on April 05, 2015, 02:00:42 AM
hey guys i have an r9 280x. im only mining x11 x13 or anything that only gpu can mine.

which would be better and amd or an nvidia card?

nvidia cards are known to have less power consumption
but i never used an nvidia card before so i that know how they perform.

i dont know if what i read was true but it said 750ti with the updated ccminer has better hashrate than a 280x?

would it be better to switch to 2x 750ti?

here is the spreadsheets of the hashrates for you to compare:
for nvidia(tanguy pruvots ccminer) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dI1Cc3JhhsA-UdIRlndvQ9huX8FmoJT2TXFDB0wdp54/edit#gid=184252621

Nvidia for sure.
Price/Performance ratio is higher;
Lower electricity consumption & Higher hash rate.

Until Scrypt asics came along AMD was the king for altcoin mining (Nvidia sucks on scrypt mining but on chained algos AMD sucks).

Yes you should, but the performance and efficiency increase actually doesn't worth the time you spend selling and buying. The profit is so low actually I did advice you to sell it and stop mining.

i actually hold coins. im not into trading.

so i was planning to mine coins that i think would raise its value after some years.
