So is there a place where i can see which algo or coin a respective GPU is best at mining?

My GPUS:

2 GTX 970
2 Radeon HD 6970
2 Rx Vega 56
1 Rx 480

Yeah, there is a place name Google and you can find tons of useful stuff there

Mattthev, my ol'pardner, have you got separate timings for RX 570 Asus Expedition OC (Elpida) for Cryptonight, i.e. some that are better than the EThash timings?

Currently being tested better one for ETH once this is done, XMR is next. I'm busy now so it will be probably in week or two at best...

If anyone is interested in testing timings for Elpida, Micron or Hynix (H5GC4H24AJ only), contact me via e-mail. I'm looking for few more ppl. You have to know how to mod bios with timings in PBE or SRB and config miner.

quiet funny matthew - but whattomine does not offer any specs for a  gtx 970 or a HD 6970 ... therefore the place called google brought me here

Just stick to Cryptonight with HD6970 and get your 800 H/s
The rest of your cards should be benchmarked, the resulting values entered to whattomine and you'll have great time checking what algo in most profitable as often as you want. Please note that your cards can't be run in single system with maximum performance so check you benchmarks with google as Mattthew already suggested and look for proper optimisation guides. Non-optimised hardware and drivers can cause tenfold performance drop and really big power consumption.

the cards can´t be run in a single system? U mean they wount outmax performance when in  a single rig? why is that?

plus: is nicehash still athing?
im a little sceptical if a see it on top of whattomine results ..

I doubt that you even get HD6970 and VEGA running in a single system, let alone with maximum performance. 970 may also be a bit tricky along with AMD.

I think so, you would need at least 3 different drivers, it might be doable, but won't be stable probably.

Thanks buddy, you saved me a lot of time!!!

NP, don't forget to give me some +Merit when you have some Better than thanks

you fucking piece of shit,
YOU ARE SAYING THIS IS GUIDE AND I SEE NOTHING ABOUT GUIDING WHEN YOU MENTIONED SG MINER, YOU ABSOLUTLY A PIG, YOU GAVE US NOTHING BUT FILES THAT NEEDS EDITING, AND HOW THE FUCK IM SUPPOSED TO KNOW HOW WHEN YOU DIDN;T EVEN MENTION IT DOES NEED SOME WORK BEFORE ACTUALLY WORKING,
JUST FUCK YOU, YOU TRASH SON OF BITCH, I JUST WASTED 3 HOURS THANKS TO YOU BECAUSE YOU CANT FUCKING MENTION THAT THE MINER NEEDS SOME EXTRA SETTING AND STUFF YOU FUCKING FAILED TO MENTION, JUST FUCK YOU BITCH, FUCK YOU !

I'm sorry that I don't know what cards do you have, what is your wallet address and what pool you want to use.
If it's that hard for you, you should find more complex guide...

Can I complain if whatever I wish to say gets auto-typed and posted here.  @#$@#@#( Matthev   You should've mentioned that I need to use a keyboard

Yeah and don't forget to connect it to mobo

I am itching to try several Docker containers in a single hardware system, each with a separate driver and miner setup. Something like one with Win10, AMD 15.7 and Claymore 9.7 for old HD6xxx, one for Nvidia and the last with latest AMD drivers and XMR-STACK 2.2.0
Was trying to shchedule a meeting with Docker's stuff last fall but to no avail. Docker's overhead is pretty small, no security concerns for mining and pretty easy to setup every next system from a Docker image.

Are older CPU's really that slow in cryptonight?

I have a rig with an old Xeon 5645 (2.4 Ghz, 6 core, 12 Mb cache AES, SSE 4.2) that gives 200 H/s with xmr-stak / xmrig.

A tiny mobile i7 7500u 2 cores makes 135 and a Ryzen 1700 around 530.

Are newest CPU's really more efficient using AES, does software use other instructions for cryptonight, or what?

I was really expecting more from a 6 core / 12 Mb CPU, but I already checked, and yes, it's average for this CPU.

I think all of them uses AES, I don't know if there are some revisions that makes it faster, but generally newer CPUs are faster every generation and with better power consumption. For CPU mining try AEON, much better for CPU, hashrate is 4x higher then on XMR and only 2x times higher with GPU.

but the 6 year old fx8120 is still a beast, 420 hash, but it does use more power then new gen cpu's ofcourse.

Good tip. It actually uses 12 threads, I suppose cryptonight-lite requires less cache per thread.

Impressive. That's why I expected a bit more performance of a 6 core AES CPU.
