Title: PCI-e 3.0
Post by: ludbega on December 11, 2013, 05:58:41 PM
Hi everybody

i have one question. English s not my first language, so, i try ^^

i asked myself about the pci-e 3.0. And i don t know if that s important...

They re a difference about the hashrate? between 2.0 or 1.0 and 3.0 ?

i would build a GPU in pci-e 3.0 on motherboard with pci-e 2.0 and i ask if they re some big difference in hashrate between this port.

Thanx everybody !

For all I know PCIe speeds are completely neglectable for Mining with GPUs.

A PCIe 3.0 card will operate normal on a PCIe 2.0 slot and mining performance (from what I read) doesn't even seem to suffer then connected electrically only 4x PCIe 2.0 (or even 1x PCIe 2.0 via riser cards).

So in short, you apparently should not see any difference in hash performance, regardless of PCIe slot used for GPU mining.
