Title: How do I start mining coins
Post by: SourPear on December 05, 2017, 12:30:03 AM
I have a few questions about mining.

How do I have multiple GPUs. I am wondering how you connect them I see a lot of motherboards with max 3 x16 slots. I see like motherboard with lots of x1 slot. Do you connect graphic cards to those?

Can I use different GPUs. I have a gtx 750 ti in my basement and I was planning on buying 1050 ti's can I use both my gtx 750 ti and 1050 ti's or do I have to pick one.

I am also wondering can your cpu and gpus mine or should I just mine with my GPUs.

Finally what coins should I mine.

Can't help you with your GPU's but you can certainly use your CPU for mining Credits(CRDS). You could then also mine another coin with your GPUs at the same time.

just download nicehash client benchmark your hardware available ones will show up then get a benchmark then either mine with it or use what to mine to see what is best for your hashrate regarding different algos.
