Mining hardware comparison

Below are some statistics about the mining performance of various hardware used in a mining rig.

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

Graphics cards

AMD

To get the maximum performance use the 2.1 release of the ATI Stream SDK. 2.2 wastes CPU time, and 2.3/2.4 drop mining performance by 5-10%.
