Title: GTX 750 GPUs for coin mining, does RAM amount matter? Post by: timk225 on March 05, 2014, 04:13:04 AM I see the GTX 750 video cards from Nvidia are getting decent reviews for coin mining. I see that some have 1 GB of RAM, and some have 2 GB. Would this RAM difference matter for coin mining speed?

Better wait for the big 20nm cards, you'll save those 150$. It's not going to be the highest performer compared to a top end GPU but it stands out for high hashpower for relatively little power use compared to most GPUs which deliver a similar amount of hashpower.Look up that article and you'll see what I'm talking about (though I wish I didn't forget the link to it as I could give it to you) No GPU will be as efficient as an ASIC for scrypt mining but they're not widely available at a reasonable price yet so GPUs are still great for mining these coins :) Title: Re: GTX 750 GPUs for coin mining, does RAM amount matter?

2- You can view an estimate of how cards perform here. https://litecoin.info/Mining_hardware_comparison I recommend an ATI, Nvidia cards do not perform well for mining... Someone correct me if I am mistaken. Title: Re: GTX 750 GPUs for coin mining, does RAM amount matter?

Someone correct me if I am mistaken. This (http://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/2014/03/05/scrypt-mining-nvidia-gtx-750-ti/) is just the latest article on the subject. If you're reading about Nvidia 750 Ti you're reading about low power draw scrypt mining :) Title: Re: GTX 750 GPUs for coin mining, does RAM amount matter? Post by: -ck on March 06, 2014, 02:56:13 AM Memory makes no difference. But then, mining bitcoin with GPUs makes no sense now, so I guess you're talking about mining altcoins.
Title: Re: GTX 750 GPUs for coin mining, does RAM amount matter? Post by: timk225 on March 06, 2014, 06:16:36 AM Yes, altcoins. But I'd just buy a bunch of 750's and just hold them until supply ran short and the price rose, then sell them for profit.
But I decided not to even do that right now. Title: Re: GTX 750 GPUs for coin mining, does RAM amount matter? Post by: cbuchner1 on March 06, 2014, 08:19:59 AM Memory makes no difference. But then, mining bitcoin with GPUs makes no sense now, so I guess you're talking about mining altcoins. Memory becomes important when you try to mine high N-factor coins such as Yacoin. For scrypt mining, 1 GB will do just fine. Christian Title: Re: GTX 750 GPUs for coin mining, does RAM amount matter? Post by: ghur on March 06, 2014, 08:35:12 AM Memory makes no difference.

What made you think this was about bitcoin? :) Title: Re: GTX 750 GPUs for coin mining, does RAM amount matter? Post by: timk225 on March 07, 2014, 03:19:47 AM Memory makes no difference.
