Title: Radeon 6990 GPU - Possible to mine Etherium ? Post by: adaseb on February 02, 2016, 12:39:07 PM Just wondering if its possible to mine with this GPU. I tried and got an error after the DAG encoding.
Anyone have any similar 6970 6990 succcess? Title: Re: Radeon 6990 GPU - Possible to mine Etherium ?

I never saw anybody mine with 6900 series for Ethereeum. The memory size is only 2GB. You need at least 79xx series to mine. Title: Re: Radeon 6990 GPU - Possible to mine Etherium ?

I never saw anybody mine with 6900 series for Ethereeum. The memory size is only 2GB. You need at least 79xx series to mine. Its 4GB in total. 2GB for each core. Some R9 270X only have 2GB also.

In Windows, you need 4GB system memory. Title: Re: Radeon 6990 GPU - Possible to mine Etherium ? Post by: sp_ on February 04, 2016, 09:36:55 AM You can mine Vanillacoin (blake-256)
the 6990 will do around 2.8GHASH. Title: Re: Radeon 6990 GPU - Possible to mine Etherium ? Post by: antantti on February 04, 2016, 09:52:36 AM My 6990 is getting ready for upcoming decred launch.

The last time my 6990 made this much was at like Jan 2014 mining Dogecoin. Title: Re: Radeon 6990 GPU - Possible to mine Etherium ? Post by: takingthis4 on February 09, 2016, 06:07:31 PM Yes possible why not radeon 6990 is good I think even Etherium

I heard it does not work. Title: Re: Radeon 6990 GPU - Possible to mine Etherium ?

The last time my 6990 made this much was at like Jan 2014 mining Dogecoin. No it is not profitable. Vanillacoin's algorithm isn't Blake-256 but WhirlpoolX. However, I have no idea of what would be your hashrate. Title: Re: Radeon 6990 GPU - Possible to mine Etherium ?

However, I have no idea of what would be your hashrate. But mining decred may be better.... GPU mining is profitable again, due to rise of BTC and huge rise of ethereum (which absorb most of amd hashrate power from GCN cards) I think : hashrate for other coins is lower due to the rush to eth mining, which leave space for small miners on others coins. |
