How to mine with GPU
Through a specific program and algorithm, using the computer graphics card calculation rate, a large number of calculations are carried out in the selected mine pool to generate data packets
The first step in setting up mining equipment is to choose the right hardware. This article will focus on GPU (graphics card) mining, of course, you can use CPU or ASIC equipment mining. Amd graphics card architecture is very beneficial to mining. NVIDIA card is not suitable for mining because of its low hash rate. The best NVIDIA graphics cards are less than 0.5 megahash. Notebook Hardware mining is not as good as NVIDIA card, which is a bad option for mining. You need to use a desktop system for mining. There is a desktop system to ensure adequate cooling of the hardware
the graphics card or card needs to be able to match the motherboard, and the power supply must have enough PCI-E connectors. Before determining the graphics card, pay attention to these. In order for the system to cool down sufficiently, you need to remove the cover of the chassis in order to get better heat dissipation. This is what people call "open air rig.". If you can aim the system at a fan or air conditioner, you can make the device cooler when it's running, thus extending its life and keeping it efficient
you need to buy multiple PCI e motherboards, one motherboard needs 6 cards, the power supply needs to be rated above 1000W, the CPU has enough al cores, the memory is 4G, and the graphics card needs gtx1060 or AMD rx470 / 570 or above a card
just download the mining software to start
however, if you calculate the cost, one card needs 3000, six cards need 18000 or more, at least 500 power supplies, CPU 300, memory 300, motherboard and PCI extension cable need about 800, and one monitor. In this way, a simple mining machine will cost more than 20000, and the average power consumption of a graphics card is 200W (n card level, a card 250W). Six of them are 1200W. The whole machine has this power. One hour is 1.2 kwh, and one day is full load. The electricity charge of 16x1.2x0.6 + 8x1.2x0.3 = at least 17.85. Although using a card is more efficient, it costs more electricity
a miner can earn 100-200 yuan a day. How long will it take to recover the cost? Can the value of money still be at this level at that time?
GPU mining generally does not require high processor performance, but without CPU, it certainly can not. Without CPU control, GPU can not carry out mining operation.
