Title: Most Stressful Algorithms to Benchmark settings with?
Post by: jamesgalb on April 05, 2018, 05:24:39 AM
So I am setting up my cards bios settings, clocks, voltages, etc. In fine tuning my cards to be stable mining Ethereum, I noticed they would become unstable when switching to Equihash or another algorithm.

Considering I would like to be able to switch coins in the future with minimal effort after initial setup, are there a good list of some of the most taxing algorithms to benchmark your settings on?

Yes there is all algo stress gpu.

Where is that?

Eth stresses mostly memory

Claymore Neoscrypt is very hard on gpu, or use Clyamore Dual to stress both

so far I have heard: Ethereum, Skein, Equihash, Groestl, Neoscript, scrypt-n

Seem like a good rundown so far?

That is Ravens new 16 algorithm switcher right?  Yeah. I was thinking that may be a good benchmark as well.... The question is, are any of those 16 actually taxing any limits? Because I would like to limit the 'benchmark burn in' portion of building rigs, and not spend days doing it :P
