Phoenix is the best miner?

[mute20]

So I switched to phoenix after I got help on how to to use it. How are the other miners. I found the gui miner would lose 10-15% speed vs phoenix. Is it just preference for the other miners?

guiminer has phoenix as an available option. you were probably using the poclbm (OpenCL Miner), as I believe that is the default when using guiminer. if you continue using phoenix, I would recommend using the latest phatk kernel from this post http://bitcointalk.org/?topic=7964.0

cgminer has pretty comparable hash rates to phoenix. I haven't used diablo miner, but it seems to be fairly popular. check out the mining software board

I don't dare to use GPU for mining, I'm afraid it will burst some day.

I used to cpu mine, then I got all the parts for my gaming pc, a week of cpu mining = 3~hours of gpu. Come to the dark side.

But anyway yeah, I've only ever used phoenix for gpu mining. It works for me
