Mining of 8G and 4G graphics cards
"Graphics card mining" is actually to use the graphics card to dig bitcoin, so that the graphics card can work with high load, and the eliminated ones will become mine cards. Generally, the core PC board on the back of mine cards is seriously discolored< br />
for mining machines, the most important thing is the graphics card. Generally, you can choose the most basic motherboard that supports 6 graphics cards, and later you can choose the more complex motherboard that supports more than 12 graphics cards. The specific suggestions are as follows:
1. CPU - CPU can choose the most basic and cheap CPU, as long as you can bring the system up normally, Generally, you can choose Intel's g3900 CPU with a unit price of about 200 yuan< Operating system is too laggy. If you use 6 graphics cards, you need at least 4G of memory. If you are 12 graphics cards, the windows operating system needs at least 8g of the memory. Otherwise, the system will be very stuck and then can not work normally. The Linux operation system can be 4G memory. < br > />2.
3. Motherboard - it is recommended for novices to directly choose the special mining motherboard of Yingtai series. The models are tb250 BTC with 6 card slots and tb250 btcpro with 12 card slots, as well as H81 series motherboard of Huaqing
4. Hard disk - SSD hard disk is needed for hard disk, because the reading speed is fast, and virtual memory needs to be set. SSD hard disk can improve some performance theoretically. If you use Windows system, you need at least 64GB, and Linux system can use 16GB
5. Operating system for windows, it is recommended that win10 system, corresponding to NVIDIA series and AMD Series graphics cards, can recognize up to 8 cards respectively. If the motherboard of 12 cards needs N cards and a cards to be mixed, then we can make full use of the motherboard graphics card slot
6. Graphics card - the mainstream mining graphics card models are amd Series graphics cards rx470, rx570, rx580, NVIDIA Series graphics cards gtx1060, gtx1070 and so on. It is recommended to choose 4G or more memory, and 8g is the best.
it has nothing to do with video memory
traditionally, amd card retains the ability of double precision calculation. No castration
n card has been castrated greatly. So the computing power is not as good as card a.
2. The CPU is used to perform mining tasks. Because the CPU needs many transistors to execute various instructions, many transistors are idle in a cycle. The speed is relatively slow
3, in order to enhance the ability of displaying images, the graphics card saves a lot of transistors that have nothing to do with the display function, so the graphics card can only display pictures, but it is much faster than the CPU in the task of displaying pictures. BTC needs to perform the same task as the graphics card, so the mining of the graphics card is faster than the CPU, So a card is more suitable for mining.
The performance difference between 4G and 8g is not very big. The function of 4G is to store the rendering data processed or to be extracted by the graphics chip. Like the memory of a computer, the video memory is used to store the graphic information to be processed
the video memory serves for the graphics card, and its function is to store the data calculated by the GPU core for a short time, that is to say, the data needs to be exchanged frequently between the video memory and the GPU, so the video memory plays a vital role in the performance of the graphics card. However, as far as 4G and 8g are concerned, for today's mainstream games, the performance difference between 4G video memory and 8g video memory is not obvious
extended data:
there are many factors that determine the performance of a graphics card. Video memory is only one factor, but it does not represent all of them. In addition to video memory, the factors that determine the performance of video card include the type of video memory, stream processor, bit width, bandwidth, frequency, etc. If only the memory capacity is large and other aspects are weak, the performance of the graphics card is not strong
therefore, in view of the performance of the graphics card, the video memory is only a reference factor. It can not be said that if the video memory is large, the performance of the graphics card must be good, and other parameters need to be combined. Only when the memory type, stream processor, memory bit width, bandwidth and frequency are the same, the larger the memory, the better the performance of the card
computer graphics card
requirements are very high,
low-end graphics card
can not be used, so the low-end graphics card is
can not be
used to mining.
