CryptoCurrency Mining Performance (Scrypt)
In response to growing enthusiasm to the world of cryptocurrencies we have started to benchmark graphics card for their mining power. We use CGMiner for AMD cards and CUDA miner for Nvidia cards to benchmark their Scrypt Hashing performance. You can see configurations for Scrypt-hashing and more Scrypt hashing results here. Our results are by no means the absolute best that is possible for each of the graphics cards we test, these results are based on the factory clock speeds of the graphics cards and we do not spend that much time tweaking to find the optimal settings. You WILL be able to achieve better performance through better optimised settings and by overclocking. Though we hope these results should give you a rough idea of what to aim for if you choose one of the graphics cards we have tested. Please note we are using the recent major update for CUDA miner that dramatically increases Nvidia mining performance.
Wow, $450 on Amazon and $540 on Newegg? thats a huge price different. people who bought from newegg must be dumb and didnt do their homework….
People who buy from Newegg over Amazon probably because bad history with Amazon.
can’t edit, they made a huge typo, it’s the same price on amazon as newegg.
LOL…. where did eteknix get the price from?
$540 was the price at the time of writing the review last week. Newegg have reduced their prices since.
I want this so bad, but Blender Cycles only supports Nvidia graphics cards for rendering, from what I have seen. Looks like my renders(http://sh.st/rqLpS) will have to be slow for a while longer.
