Title: Is it possible to mine with 128 Bit GPUs?
Post by: rizabbasi on September 11, 2017, 08:23:28 AM
Hi,

Very simple question.

Is it possible to mine with 128 Bit GPUs?

Regards,

Riz

I still have some leftover R7 260X cards working on ZEC @ ~120 sol/s.  The 1050ti is far more efficient, though.

Possible if they're not extremely old.

But I don't think so that you'll do good with them, you should've very cheap electricity (like 5 cents/kWh) if you wanna end up with some profit.

define "128 bit GPU"

define "128 bit GPU"

I believe that refers to memory bus width.

Yes, memory bus.

RX560 has 128 bit memory bus, very low power consumption and solid performance

You can check rx560 hashrates

If your question is "Do there exist any 128 bit GPUs that can be used for mining?" then the answer is yes.

If your question is about some specific hardware you have or are looking to purchase, we need more information about what cards you're looking at.

Indeed, I have two of those, the Overclocked edition and I have made a reasonable profit mining with the Equihash Algorithm in Nicehash. You can still make a decent profit from them, not really worth to invest into buying those though. I'd prefer having one newer and more powerful GPU than having two or more of those.

 HD 7750 is still usable to mine ZEC with - but only 55-60 ballpark sol/sec as I recall.

 I'm not sure if that's 128 bit memory bus or NARROWER offhand, but I suspect it's 128.

RX560s are about half hashing power in everything compared to rx580, but three to four times
cheaper here where I live
