Title: Is any coin still being mined with GPU other that ETH? Post by: Jarod1231 on July 08, 2017, 12:38:28 PM I used to mine a while back and have two 2GB sapphire r9 270x, now I'm back and scrypt is all ASIC.... X11 is ASIC.... ETH can't be mined with 2GB cards.... most of the new ALTS I see being created are now ICOs on ETH and not mineable currencies... is there a list of coins still mineable with GPU?

Hi,I would like to say that you GPU is quiet old already but it can still mine but expect to give very low mhs which would generate you very very small potential amount earning on mining alts however theres a calculator that i would give regarding on those coins that can be mine by GPU but i dont know which one would suits on your card to have the maximum profitability. https://www.coinwarz.com/calculators Title: Re: Is any coin still being mined with GPU other that ETH? Post by: Vann on July 08, 2017, 01:12:06 PM Profitably, you can mine Zcash, new coins that aren't taken over by ASICS and probably some of the older coins not based on Scrypt, X11 as well as muti-algo coins.
I would also suggest downloading the NiceHash miner and running the benchmark. That will give your cards hash rate for different algorithms and then use a profitability calculator to find out which are the best coins to mine. http://whattomine.com Title: Re: Is any coin still being mined with GPU other that ETH?

So many forks of ccminer, which one is the most efficient?Title: Re: Is any coin still being mined with GPU other that ETH? Post by: sundownz on July 09, 2017, 03:17:52 PM My GTX 1080s switch between Lbry, Lyra2Rev2, Equihash (Zcash), and X11Gost on the regular -- they do quite well on all of those.
Also my GTX 1070s and 1060s switch between ETH and Zcash quite often. My AMD RX cards stick to Dual Eth/Decred. My older AMD cards stick to Equihash (Zcash) -- so I'd go that route for your cards. |
