Title: AMD A10 + Radeon R5 Post by: psy131 on October 27, 2016, 12:34:45 PM how can i know how much hash rate this GPU & CPU can produce ?
Title: Re: AMD A10 + Radeon R5 Post by: megacrypto on October 27, 2016, 12:46:55 PM as far as i understand APU's are not used (or rather the Radeaon R5 part) as GPU in miners ... you can only use CPU miners.
And i guess, you have to download a miner and test it with a pool .... or check online calculators some sites list CPUs performance for some algorithms Title: Re: AMD A10 + Radeon R5 Post by: Redrose on October 27, 2016, 01:23:49 PM Radeon R5 ? How old is that thing :o ? I doubt pretty much that you'll even make the mining software work.
Title: Re: AMD A10 + Radeon R5 Post by: QuintLeo on October 27, 2016, 09:48:59 PM The GPU on an A10 is in the same ballpark of performance (in the current A10 - 78xx line) as the old AMD HD7750 (same number of cores, near-identical clock, loses a little due to the slower RAM involved).
While it IS useable for mining coins that don't need in excess of 2GB RAM access (forget ETH/ETC and varients), it's not exactly a high-end mining GPU nor it is highly energy efficient. Older and lower-end A10s have less cores, and often clock lower, so even WORSE performance. No, I don't bother trying to mine on my A10 GPUs for a profit - they do earn some Gridcoin but that's a side-effect of my long-time participation in the distributed.net project, more recently via BOINC's Moo Wrapper project. I suspect the gridcoin they earn MIGHT pay for the electric usage, but it's close if they do and forget every trying to ROI on this. |
