![]() ![]() One CPU core executes 4 32-bit instructions per clock (SSE) or 8 32-bit instructions per clock (AVX), whereas a Radeon HD 5970 GPU is able to process 3200 32-bit instructions per clock (using its 3200 ALU or shader unit). The graphics adapter (GPU) is able to carry out many similar tasks very fast and effectively, but at the same time it switches to another task slowly. Also, the processor performs a great number of other operations. The processor (CPU) was developed to make decisions according to the programs’ directions. Now let’s make it clear the why the graphics card (GPU) fits scrypt mining better than the central processing unit (CPU). The scrypt mining or GPU mining is not like Bitcoin mining because of algorithm differences.įor mining of Litecoin, as well as its various forks on the scrypt algorithm, this article will discuss the important technical characteristics, as well as hardware compatibility, software and the most popular software – the miner, in particular the most stable and flexibly configurable CGMINER. This is why the mining of the scrypt cryptocurrencies started gaining popularity. ![]() For comparison, one ASIC unit on average had a capacity of 600000 Mh/s, and the most powerful GPU - ~850 Mh/s. It all led to the fact that SHA-256 crypto currency mining without special equipment ceased to be profitable (Bitcoin is the most profitable crypto currency based on SHA-256 algorithm for mining). This was also caused by the fact that many large investors began to buy ASIC equipment for Bitcoin mining on an industrial scale. 5 Characteristics of central processing units (CPU mining)Ĭomparison of mining algorithms SHA-256 and Scrypt mining ĭue to popularity growth of Bitcoin at the end of 2013, the mining difficulty has increased for many times.4.2.13 Characteristics of NVIDIA graphics cards for mining.4.1 The most profitable AMD graphics cards for mining. ![]()
