Mining hardware comparison

This page is a stub. Help by expanding it.

Below are some statistics about the mining performance of various hardware used in a mining rig. The GPU lists were originally compiled by ArtForz.

The table shows stock clock numbers. 10-20% performance improvement can be achieved via overclocking.

Graphics cards

AMD

To get the maximum performance use the 2.1 or 2.2 release of the ATI Stream SDK. 2.3 performance drops by 5-10%.
