Mining graphics card OK
Generally, there are professional graphics cards to mine, and the mine is actually bitcoin. Users download the mining software from the computer and then run a specific algorithm. After communicating with the remote server, they can get the corresponding bitcoin. Most of them work by burning the graphics card, so the power consumption is large
the graphics cards and mine cards are usually ATI chips. The bitcoin market is not good, so the miners take out their mining cards and sell them as second-hand
what is mining
to put it simply, mining is to use the chip to perform a calculation related to the random number, and get the answer in exchange for a virtual coin. virtual currency can be exchanged for the currency of each country through some way. The stronger the computing power, the faster the chip can find this random answer. Theoretically, the more virtual coins can be proced per unit time. Because it's about random numbers, you can only get rewards if you happen to find the answer. It's possible that one chip will find the answer in the next second, or ten chips won't find the answer in a week. The more chips compute at the same time, the easier it is to find the answer, and the mining machine with built-in multi chips appears. And a number of mining machines to form a "mine" at the same time mining is to improve efficiency. In the mine pool, multiple "self-employed" join an organization to mine together. No matter who finds the answer and digs out the virtual coin, everyone gets the corresponding reward according to the calculation ability of contribution. This way can make the income of "self-employed" more stable
relationship between mining and graphics card
the stronger the computing power of ant miner, the easier it is to dig out virtual coins. Accordingly, when the more virtual coins are g out, the difficulty of mining will be increased accordingly, so as to control the yield of virtual coins. The virtual currency is not unlimited. The total number of bitcoin is 84 million
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 itsummary:
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
no impact< But mining is a pit
similar to pyramid schemes
there is no practical significance.
the mining efficiency of a card is much higher than that of N card
CPU I suggest you use i7
3970
,
power supply I suggest you use 1500W
according to this efficiency, you need to dig for about two and a half years to get back the cost.
1g version is the most popular. This model can well balance the mining speed and price
in other words, there are a lot of "mining machine graphics cards" on Taobao, because these graphics cards use less materials under the same core and basically unchanged hash speed, such as recing video memory to improve the performance price ratio (the size of video memory has little to do with the mining speed), which can shorten the time to recover the cost
in short, the graphics card of mining machine is the core of common high-end graphics card + the workmanship of low-end graphics card, or some cheap medium and high-end public graphics card.
for example, bitcoin, lightcoin, gold card, reborn coin, doggy coin, lightcoin, Ruitai coin, bitstock and other digital currencies can be downloaded from rich packages
but there is no wallet to download MLM or some direct selling coins
for example: Baichuan coin, Morgan coin, treasure coin, etc.
