Title: [POLL] Best OS to GPU mine with?
Post by: SpeedDemon13 on April 02, 2014, 07:46:23 AM
I find that BAMT or Windows 8/8.1 does best for GPU mining. Which OS is best to gpu mine with?

The OS doesn't make a huge difference in performance. All OSs with the same driver/SDK/miner/settings are goine to get the same hashrate.

The biggest difference is A) ease of setup, and B) ease of management. For those reasons, I choose BAMT. You can have a rig up and mining within 10 minutes of first turning it on. Remote monitoring is a breeze through the web page, and remote management is made simple through SSH.
