Title: Which graphic cards work with gpu mining? Post by: johngo on August 07, 2011, 05:14:00 PM Hi,
which graphic cards can I use for gpu mining? I saw some with a ATI 5850 GPU was used - can I use cards from each card manufacturer with this processor for this purpose? Thanks, John Title: Re: Which graphic cards work with gpu mining?

You can mix and match cards from different manufacturers, and of different makes and models. For example, right this very second I'm using a 5850 and 5830 on this box mining in the background. There is a fantastic entry on mining hardware comparsion on the wiki, here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison But, be sure to spend some time browsing the more general category as well, which can be found here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Category:Mining ~RdD Title: Re: Which graphic cards work with gpu mining?

Thanks, John The question is whether the cards from each manufacturer are profitable. Title: Re: Which graphic cards work with gpu mining?

Yes. but it kind of matters because some cards have MUCH louder fans. *cough* XFX *cough* Title: Re: Which graphic cards work with gpu mining?
