1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / What is the difference using ASIC Block Erupter vs AMD GPU's? 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)

Also I am planning to install this OS

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!
