Title: CPU Mining Post by: DarkHyudrA on November 05, 2012, 12:48:49 AM Well, let's just get to the point: is CPU Mining worth, in any of the currencies?
I tried LTC, but looks like that with this reaper miner GPU it's a lot better than CPU. Title: Re: CPU Mining Post by: panda1 on November 05, 2012, 12:56:14 AM Not really at this point.
Title: Re: CPU Mining Post by: alexanderrrr on November 05, 2012, 05:26:10 AM No, CPU is not worth it. GPU all the way.
Title: Re: CPU Mining Post by: rider on November 05, 2012, 08:08:55 AM As an example on my server with CPU 7 cores *Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E31240 @ 3.30GHz*, i get when i mine with CPU ~25Mhash and with 4xRadeon 6950 overclock edition ~1.6Ghash . When i was mining on slush's pool with 2 cards i got 0.3BTC/day and with CPU ~0.000003... make the difference

Title: Re: CPU Mining Post by: jabberwok on November 06, 2012, 01:30:44 AM If you have a bunch of extra CPUs and you don't pay for electricity, I guess there's no reason not to. LTC would be your best bet. But the short answer is definitely No. Even though LTC was originally written to be mined with CPUs, GPUs are much better now. CPUs really just don't cut it.
Title: Re: CPU Mining Post by: Robby on November 06, 2012, 07:54:46 AM Really not worth it i dont think considering the power requirements of a CPU are similar to a GPU and the GPU has considerably more memory bandwidth and parallel processing power. The nature of hashing makes GPU's very well suited to the task
Title: Re: CPU Mining Post by: 2GOOD on November 06, 2012, 06:43:24 PM Worthless.
