Title: What does "mining mode" in bios do? Post by: androstan1234 on February 16, 2018, 12:55:55 PM I have it selected but idk what it actually does. It doesn't change pcie to gen1/gen2. It doesn't disable hibernation. AFAIK some boards do not even have this option in the bios, and are used for mining.
Are there some kind of optimizations applied or something? Anyone have any insight? Title: Re: What does "mining mode" in bios do? Post by: BennyT on February 16, 2018, 02:23:23 PM Some bios will label it more accurately like "Above 4G decoding". Essentially if it's not turned on, your system boots with the VGA allocated memory below 4 gb address space. Mining requires higher memory allocations as you also set it within windows.
