Title: mining with workstation dell precision 690
Post by: luuckyoctopus on January 23, 2018, 06:13:57 PM
i have old workstation dell precision 690 & want to try mining with it ; but i found herehttps://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/precn/en/spec_precn_690_en.pdf (https://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/precn/en/spec_precn_690_en.pdf)
only 512 MB memory available for each PCI Express ( is that a bottleneck for any new GPU ) ;
only 150 watt available ( is that a bottleneck for any new 8 pin or 2x 6pin GPU )
PS: power supply is 750 watt .
am i missing something or that is true ?

Pretty sure you won't get anywhere as you need a powerful GPU in mining altcoins, forget bitcoin as GPU's no longer generate enough profits on that, you'll need ASIC's.
Also, if you're thinking of mining with a only one GPU, drop it as it's just a waste of time.

If you're interested in mining, you might wanna do a simple google search about them.
