Title: Whats the best mining GPU for my PC config? Post by: bitnox on March 04, 2017, 09:56:28 PM Hello, i want to make some upgrade on my PC.
Its actually a gaming PC but now i want to optimize it for mining too. Im currently mining Monero and my specs are: CPU Intel i5 2500 3.3Ghz 8GB RAM Motherboard Itautec ST4273 Font Corsair CX430 GPU AMD Radeon 5800 I was thinking about replacing the GPU, since my i5 is not bad at all for CPU mining. am i correct? If so, which would be the best GPU for mining under my actual font (plz note that even saying its 430W i think the real wattage is something like 336W) And in case i do need a better font, whats specs would you reccomend? PS: i currently live in a country with very high taxes for hardwares so i cant just buy the latest stuff. PSē: im not concerned about the ROI atm, since i also use the PC to play and surf the web, so its actually something i always do upgrade. Thanks a lot in advance.

Well the gear is fine with the exception of the gpu. Try to replace the gpu with a r9 380. Or with a rx 470 Make sure the new gpu has 4gb ram. Good luck. Don't try two gpus as the psu is a bit weak for 2. Title: Re: Whats the best mining GPU for my PC config? Post by: Golku on March 06, 2017, 02:01:15 PM You can also try to get cheapo 280x's
They do use a bit more wattage but still delivers a decent hashing speed Title: Re: Whats the best mining GPU for my PC config?

I am not sure the 280x will work. maybe if he gets it and undervolts a bit along with a little downclock action. Title: Re: Whats the best mining GPU for my PC config?

And actually corsair cx430 real wattage is 336W, not 200W. Title: Re: Whats the best mining GPU for my PC config? Post by: toygg on March 07, 2017, 12:20:34 PM An AMD RX 460 should be fine since its minimum requirements is a 350W power supply.

Ill probably get a new font too. thnx for all the replies! |
