GCN mining

1. Dig with n card, you can't even collect the electricity fee... If you want to mine, you'd better use a card honestly

2. 7850 has at least 320. 1000 yuan a piece. 290x more than 4000. That's 900.. So. You can calculate it yourself.. Of course, 7850 you can't buy.....

3. This is equivalent to Apple al core vs. Android four core and eight core! Of course, four cores and eight cores will win. But the actual use of that apple is n blocks away

4. What kind of calculation are you going to do? K2000 is NVIDIA
Quadro Series graphics card, not professional computing card, Tesla series is
all NVIDIA graphics cards support CUDA, which can be used for general computing. HD
7970 GCN architecture is better than Kepler in double precision floating-point computing, but AMD's stream general computing development is far less mature than CUDA
in terms of performance, amd series GPU is better, I mean al precision; But in terms of program development, NVIDIA's GPU has more advantages
for mining, choose amd graphics card, with higher concurrency density.

5. There are many types of GPU's general computing power, floating-point and integer, single precision and double precision. However, the HD 7990 and 7970 of AMD's GCN series and GTX titan of NVIDIA's gk110 core are all good. AMD's high-end card is very suitable for mining. NVIDIA's Titan is the civil game card castrated by nvvidia's Professional Computing card.

6.

According to amdq1's financial report last year, the graphics card used for mining in Q1 has accounted for 1 / 10 of AMD's revenue. If it is put into the graphics card business alone, the proportion of mining graphics card will be even more amazing. The revenue brought by mining is like opium, which has consumed AMD's fighting spirit. A GCN architecture will be built for another three years. NVIDIA almost monopolizes the share of graphics cards on steam platform, and if it goes on like this, amd graphics cards will become a thing of the past. Fortunately, last year's mine disaster awakened AMD in sleepwalking

has not been listed yet, so it will rece the price. Just like mobile phones, it shows that the competition in the graphics card market is very fierce. NVIDIA has been suffering for a long time. In a stagnant graphics card market, not only amd can't see hope, but also users can't see hope. How much more money is wasted. I hope amd can seize this opportunity, not to mention the success of NVIDIA, but at least be equal to NVIDIA and rece the price of graphics card

7. Performance: 5850 = 6870 & lt; 7850 (graphics card ladder diagram as proof, but to be honest, the real performance difference is not very big, that is to say, there is no difference, chip upgrade represents fine workmanship, fine workmanship represents lower power consumption and more stable performance. However, these bring performance discounts, so the 7850 algebra is higher than the 5850 algebra, but the performance enhancement is not very high, but the enhancement in other aspects is not small)
difference: the 5850 is cheaper than the 7850. The performance of the 7850 is slightly improved, but the stability and power consumption of the 7850 is much better than that of the 5850. In short, it is a high-end graphics card with low power consumption, but the current price is expensive
if you say "good", of course, 7850 is much better in general. Because the power consumption and calorific value of 5850 are too large, if it is used for firing or overclocking, there is a great risk of stability (the performance of a single card will not have much difference)
let's choose from the LZ situation. If I have enough funds, 7850 is my first choice. But if I don't have enough funds, I won't choose 5850. Relatively speaking, if I don't have enough funds, I will choose 6850. Although the performance is slightly reced, it will not affect my use (I use it to play games), and it will bring me more stable performance and lower power consumption. Some people will always talk about the performance of the 5850 old card, but please combine with the reality. Now the medium and high-end graphics cards can basically cope with more than 98% of the large stand-alone 3D games. Graphics card, sex can be used, don't forget to pay attention to your stability and power consumption To paraphrase: after I started with 6850, I thought why not start with 7770. Although the performance is lower than 6850, it's still enough for me to use, and it's more energy-saving and more stable - the price difference is a few yuan, but the electricity charge can save dozens of yuan!)

8. I can only tell you that it's not caused by mining. In fact, the computing power of 480 and 580 is very weak. The double precision of a card is reced every year. Every time GCN architecture is updated, the double precision will be reced by twice. For example, the double precision of 7970 / 280x of the first generation GCN is 1000, and the single double ratio is 4:1. By 290 and 290x, it becomes 8:1, fury x is 16:1, and there is 500 left, When it comes to Polaris (480 / 580), it's 16:1, and the double precision is only about 360
at present, mining machines are used in mining. If the mining capacity of 280x is 1, the mining capacity of mainstream mining machines is several thousand times that of 280x, let alone 480 and 580.
