What platform does a card machine use

1.

The graphics card market in 2017 is the most special in recent years. In the past few years, no graphics card will increase its price by 100% a few months after its release. RX 580 has achieved this goal. Together with all the graphics cards below 3000 yuan, it has broken through the premium point in an irresistible manner. All this happened with the bitcoin price breaking through 3000 US dollars. After miners swept the RMB 2000 RX 580, the price of low-end RX 560 and even GTX 1050 Ti increased to varying degrees. However, is the price directly proportional to the ability of hash algorithm? Recently, we did a test to collect the new generation of graphics cards at various prices on the market, test the mining speed of Ethernet and bitcoin, and see which card has the highest cost performance

Different from the thousand yuan market, this wave of mining tide has a great impact on high-end graphics cards. In the test results, RX 580 and Rx 480 have almost reached the bottom of GTX 1070. Moreover, the price of Rx 580 is even competing with that of GTX 1070, so the miners directly swept the 3000 yuan market when GTX 1060 3gb / 6GB is out of stock, and GTX 1070 is basically out of stock. The more advanced GTX 1080 is also out of stock, but it's not clear whether the players are forced to go directly to the high-end card or the miners extend their claws to this market. The situation of GTX 1080 ti is only slightly improved, but it's not much better. However, not everyone can afford the 6000 yuan graphics card. Only the top players will be affected, but it's just a narrower choice. It's not the case that the rich can't buy it

summary:

to mine, the first choice is the graphics card with more than 3gb video memory, which is the basis. In addition, the core frequency will affect the mining speed. We have two GTX 1080 cards on hand, one is public version, and the other is MSI GTX 1080 gaming X. the operating frequencies of the two cards are 1885mhz and 1936mhz respectively. After testing, because of the frequency, the latter will be about 4% faster than the former in actual mining. The advantages of high-frequency graphics card are highlighted

So Xiaobian's opinions and suggestions are as follows:

the low-end card and the old architecture card are not suitable for mining. GTX 1080 ti is an extreme, with the most powerful performance, but the price is not suitable for large-scale procurement. The mining speed of a card with the same location is much faster than that of N card, The cost performance of GTX 1060 3gb is higher than that of GTX 1060 6GB. The frequency and the number of stream processors / CUDA have a great influence on the performance of the card. The size of video memory has no influence on the mining. It's enough. Different video cards will have different profits if they dig different coins. If you want to further explore, you need to test several currencies, Limited to space, we only select two representative currencies to test

as long as the mine disaster does not occur, the shortage will last for a long time. However, if there is a mine disaster, a large number of second-hand mine cards will directly enter the market. These cards are always running at full load and full speed, and their service life is greatly shortened compared with that of ordinary users. Even if the price is lower, they will roll over at any time, There is no need to start at all. Moreover, the second-hand market will be directly disrupted. At that time, it will be difficult for some normal users to get out of the second-hand market, and the deep-water fish's Dragon killing knife will explode the galaxy. Now it is said that NVIDIA is making some graphics cards without display output interface, which are provided to miners as mine cards. With a certain capacity, if the mine card still can't satisfy the miners, won't the miners buy the graphics card in the consumer market? The only function of these special mine cards is to prevent mine cards from flowing into the second-hand market, which can not alleviate the current shortage of graphics cards

2. In terms of warranty, n card is generally guaranteed for 3 years, while a card is usually only guaranteed for 1 year
in terms of eth, a card generally needs to brush the BIOS to achieve the highest computing power, and it needs to install a special mining driver
the N card is easy to operate, and the driver can be installed at will. However, the price performance of a card will be higher than that of N card after digging eth
however, in terms of mining life, if eth can't dig in the future, a card may cost a lot. For the time being, a card can only dig Eth and Zec. Zec has proced professional mining machines. In the future, it may not be cost-effective to dig video cards. There are really few currencies that a card can dig. N card is different. Although eth is slightly lower than a card, n card supports many algorithms. There are more than 100 counterfeit coins that can be g. One day, Eth and Zec collapse, and you can continue to live by changing any currency. Aiminer supports both a-card and n-card mining.

3. A card has high computing power. The computing power of rx480 after brushing the BIOS is equal to that of gtx1070, and the price is cheap

4. Not only can a card mine, but a card mine the highest efficiency, n card and CPU can mine, but under the efficiency, you dig out the virtual currency is not enough to pay your electricity, a card's floating-point computing ability is its own strength

5. Not only can a card mine, but a card mine the highest efficiency, n card and CPU can mine, but under the efficiency, you dig out the virtual currency is not enough to pay your electricity, a card's floating-point computing ability is its own strength

6. This is because of the different working principles of a card and N card. N card uses part of the performance to allocate work to stream processor, while a card uses heap stream processor. Although the difference between the two is not big, n card will be faster under some optimizations, but under the full load of mining, the performance of heap stream processor a card will greatly exceed that of N card. So we all use a-card mining.

8. In China, there are stores that accept digital currency payment, but the influence of these stores is generally very small, which can be used as a form of barter. Because at the end of 2013, the central bank and other five ministries and commissions jointly issued the bitcoin risk notice, which clearly defined bitcoin as a special Internet commodity. People can buy and sell bitcoin freely at their own risk, but denied its monetary attribute. At this stage, bitcoin cannot and should not be used for payment
it's also applicable to the younger brother of bitcoin such as Wright coin, Ruitai coin and doggy coin, but there are still stores accepting them offline, but the scope is very small.

9. The theoretical performance of a card is still almost twice as high as that of N card, which also has the factor mentioned by Yubo Zhang.

10. It's definitely a professional miner. Miner chip itself is specially used for mining; Graphics card is mainly used for computer graphics processing, such as video, pictures, etc. Design itself is for different purposes
