Title: Switching from Windows to Linux with single GPU (6970) worth it? Post by: Ali on June 25, 2011, 06:48:00 PM I'd like to know if I'd get more Mhashes/s on Linux and if yes which distributon + miner?

No dummy plugs or anything. Title: Re: Switching from Windows to Linux with single GPU (6970) worth it?

Even if you gain a few mh/s, you're likely to have lost more profit during the downtime while installing a Linux OS and a miner than you're going to earn from the extra mh/s.

I'd have to switch in the mornings before I leave home to Linux. Title: Re: Switching from Windows to Linux with single GPU (6970) worth it?
