Title: Would switching to SHA-512 even the field between ATI and NIVIDIA? Post by: TiagoTiago on June 02, 2011, 05:37:20 PM Quote from: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Why_a_GPU_mines_faster_than_a_CPU#Why_are_AMD_GPUs_faster_than_Nvidia_GPUs? ... Secondly, another difference favoring Bitcoin mining on AMD GPUs instead of Nvidia's is that the mining algorithm is based on SHA-256, which makes heavy use of the 32-bit integer right rotate operation. ... ... Does ATI cards also got an edge with SHA-512 or would switching to 256's big brother give NVIDIA peeps a better chance at blockfinding?
