Title: Nvidia Quadros?
Post by: flamebirdstudios on August 26, 2013, 06:53:40 PM
So I know that Nvidia is pure trash at mining cryptocurrencies but Im planning on getting the Quadro K4000 for work purposes. Does anyone know any estimated hashrates this could get in BTC or LTC mining? Id run it just for fun when I'm not doing anything. I already have an Asic USB miner for BTC and a XFX 6970 LTC mining. I profit more from giving loans and investments than actual mining. So once again, what hashrates can I expect from the Nvidia Quadro K4000?

ya less then the cost of electricity... I have a k5000 for my work and it's no dice :(

How many hashes are you getting on it?

If I leave my computer on the whole month it's $30 in electricity...

Here is a chart to give u and idea. I never tried after I did my research...

1 Erupter does more Mh then the k4000

If you're mining on Nvidia GPUs, make sure to use CUDAminer (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=167229.0). You prolly won't even make back the electricity it uses, but it will be a lot faster than the typical OCL applications used by almost every other mining software.

It's not "a lot" faster.  It's a little faster.  A little faster than incredibly slow, is still incredibly slow.

By "a lot" I meant as a % increase over the OCL version. Going from 100 to 200KH/s isn't a huge increase in earnings, but it is still doubling your hashrate.

Just for laughs I fired up my workstation:

You should try Cuda mining for LTC. It would be more profitable. You can just exchange the ltc to btc if you want.

CUDA mining is 10% faster than OGL, if even.  It's still pointless.
