After restart, AwesomeMiner not showing all GPUs

This is a bit of a strange situation that happens with Awesome Miner. After a system restart, sometimes not all of your GPUs will be recognized, and yet in device manager, they’ll be listed. It’s just AwesomeMiner that doesn’t recognize them. The simple solution is to restart your computer from within AwesomeMiner. It’s strange, but […]

Questions and Answers

Cryptocurrencies are fairly new, and I understand there’s a lot to learn. While I don’t claim to be an expert about the best mining gpu or the best crypto exchanges, I have been around Bitcoin and the crypto world for quite a while.

Do you have a question? Send me a note, and I’ll do my best to answer it, and I’ll include it in this section (as well as email my response to you directly of course!)

Is mining profitable 2018?

Is mining profitable 2018?

Last Updated Mar 2018

Of course – but we should clarify what you mean by profitable! People that bought GPUs 2 or 3 months ago, at MSRP (rather than double MSRP that most of the best mining GPUs seem to be selling for right now), have already mined enough to pay off the money the spent on their GPU […]

Overclocking a mining Rig – do I have to overclock each GPU?

Overclocking a mining Rig – do I have to overclock each GPU?

Last Updated Mar 2018

If you have a GPU mining rig that you want to overclock, you’ve probably wondered if you could overclock the whole rig, or if you have to overclock one graphics card at a time? The answer is yes, you have to do each GPU separately – sort of. Depending on your overclocking software, you may […]

One of my GPU’s hashrate is way too low

One of my GPU’s hashrate is way too low

Last Updated Feb 2018

It’s a common problem – a multiple GPU mining rig has one GPU that isn’t hashing as well as it’s brother and sister GPUs. The question is asked in a forum, or other message board, because the rig owner wants someone to fix it for them. But all too often, no details are given, and […]

Yes! Yes you can, this is how Bitcoin mining started. However, as time has passed, and new mining hardware called ASICs have been introduced, mining with a CPU is like “an ant fart in a hurricane” (source). Keep reading for details: Can I mine Bitcoin with a CPU? A CPU can make a few hundred […]

Why do mining GPUs have different hashrates even though they are the exact same model?

Why do mining GPUs have different hashrates even though they are the exact same model?

Last Updated Feb 2018

Why does a mining GPU have different hashrates, power usage, or temperatures at the exact same settings as the exact same card next to it? One of your GPUs will have a monitor plugged into it, so that can affect the hashrate slightly as it needs to provide video output and the other mining GPUs […]

Why can’t a GTX 1060 3GB hash as fast as a 1060 6GB? GTX 1060 3GB vs 6GB Mining Gpus

Last Updated Mar 2018

When comparing the GTX 1060 3GB vs 6GB mining GPUs, at first glance, they would seem the same. They seem to have nearly the same hash rates for ethash and equihash gpu mining, and they look basically the same. However, when we look at the actual specs on the 6GB vs 3GB cards, we can […]

Anyone running a GPU off their M.2 Slot with an adapter?

Last Updated Jan 2018

Yes, people do run a mining GPU off of their M.2 “next generation form factor” m-sata slots. The M.2 slots use the PCIe bus interface and are typically for installing a solid state drive, but can work to add an additional GPU to your mining rig. Here are some of the best M.2 risers and […]
