Title: What is the difference using ASIC Block Erupter vs AMD GPU's? Post by: jackandjill on September 16, 2014, 08:07:41 AM i still see that people are using AMD GPU's to mine but where as the obvious alternative will be to use Block Erupter kind of solutions to achieve higher hash rate ( i mean like crazy higher hash rate), so why is that people are still using GPU's rather than dedicated ASIC's? Any reason why?
Also I just bought Gigabyte 280x OC version for mining, u can consider the rest of the right to be a very good gaming machine, so using this GPU what kind of hash rate I can look at? I tend to ask this question because I already have Win 8 , GTX 670 and I got 156Mh/s then this video shows as only 4.6Mh/s with 6 x 280x? is it a typo (I mean 4Gh/s) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfqfEpanpig Also I am planning to install this OS http://guiminer.net/bamt Is it good? Tks for you inputs Happy mining. P.S If this is in the wrong section please move it to the correct one, tks and sorry! Title: Re: What is the difference using ASIC Block Erupter vs AMD GPU's?

there are many kinds of coins. scrypt sha256 scrypt-A-nf are but 3 kinds they use different speed measurments gpus are too slow for Sha256-------------Bitcoin is best>>>>> asics are used here the bitmaintech antminer s-3 is about 450 gh decent machine this is about 900 of your gpu cards gpus are too slow for scrypt---------------Litecoin is best but sunject to change machines with asic chips are best to use . a 5mh machine is a good starter that is about 10 of your cards gpus are still used for scrypt-a-nf --------Darkcoin is best here but subject to change if you want to mine with your card look into darkcoins it is a waste of money to use that card to mine scrypt or sha256 . If you want scrypt or sha256 pm me I have links for machine to buy and have a few myself. Title: Re: What is the difference using ASIC Block Erupter vs AMD GPU's?
