And me working the last few month to simplify mining and allow everyone to participate with their hardware. The most obvious change is that there is no longer need to download for AMD/NVIDIA and CPU independent miner. You can mine on all architectures just from one pre- or self-compiled binary. During the first start you will be guided to configure the miner.
XMR-Stak is now supporting Monero and Aeon without recompiling. Features • 10% boost to CPUs without hardware AES • Supports all common backends (CPU/x86, AMD-GPU and NVIDIA-GPU) • Supports all common OS (Linux, Windows and MacOS) • Supports algorithm cryptonight for Monero (XMR) and cryptonight-light (AEON) • Guided start (no need to edit a config file for the first start) • Automatic configuration for each mining backend • Allows to tweak each core or gpu by hand • Supports backup pools • TLS support • HTML statistics • JSON API for monitoring • Support the new stratum • Easy precompiled and portable Linux binary The miner is fully open source (GPLv3).
This means each improvement can be reused by the community and you have always the possibility to verify the source code. We are also raising funds for two new exciting projects to take Monero mining to a new level - see if you like them: • • • • •.
Mines Monero when his Servers are underutilized, to pay for operating costs. He has lots of Equipment on hand and regularly tests new Setups and updates this Thread:. He doesn't test ASICs or FPGAs; which once both constructed and provided with the necessary Software are certain to be faster. Currently FPGAs with AES-NI and the necessary Memory are available but there's no Software (for Monero, there are Dev Boards and SDKs if you are inclined). Currently there is no GPU Card and Software that beats a CPU. The question is answered. The decision of what constitutes an 'efficiency score' is up to the individual, work it out, the OP didn't ask for a score.
For some the lowest cost is most efficient since they can work for lower wages and afford the cheapest setup easily. For people earning top dollar getting the answers the fastest way, regardless of power cost, is the most efficient - if your time is worth over $100/hr. And your using the Cryptocurrency for your own purposes (like a Gamer, your thoughts are), costs be darned. It's clear which is almost fastest, watt efficient and costs less. – Jan 11 at 0:42 •. There are no ASICS yet, and GPUs are about 2-4x faster than CPUs.
Monero's PoW algorithm has a large memory requirement that would make it difficult to use an ASIC and less advantageous to use a GPU over a CPU than in Bitcoin. From the: We're also quite happy to announce the addition of a new feature to Monero: Smart Mining.
This is a feature that will evolve over time, but at its most basic it is something that will allow everyone running the client software to support the network in an unobtrusive manner. Smart Mining detects your CPU usage, and if your CPU is idle and you aren't on battery power (for laptops and/or connected UPS devices) it will begin mining. As soon you switch to battery power or your CPU activity picks up it will pause mining until it sees it is safe to start again. You still set your Monero address for Smart Mining, as always, and whilst your chances of solving a block may be relatively small (for now;) it is still an easy way to support the network without needing to purchase expensive equipment. This work is complete (for Linux) and is currently being tweaked to work on our other supported operating systems.
Ongoing process can be followed here. This has a nice list of GPU/CPU hash rate reports to help you make up your mind! This depends on whether you refer to 'performance per watt' or 'performance per purchase price'. Raw hash rates for different CPUs and GPUs can be found, for example, at In terms of performance per watt (which is easiest to measure/calculate): • a Xeon Phi 7210 gets 2770H/s @ 225W, that's 12.3 H/J • a Dual AMD Epyc gets 3500H/s @ 335W, that's 10.4 H/J • a Dual Xeon E5-2699 gets 1910H/s @ 290(2x145)W, that's 6.4H/J • a Dual R9 Fury X gets 1890H/s @ 550W, that's only 3.4 H/J etc.

In terms of purchase price, though, things may be quite a bit different. The most efficient hardware for mining Monero, at this time, are AMD GPU cards.
High hashrate power and low power consumption is the perfect combination. Truly, the more cost-efficient hardware for Monero mining is the AMD Radeon Vega card. Both 56 and 64 VEGA cards are notably profitable in mining Monero. Radeon VEGA 56 can mine with stock BIOS around 1850 H/s at ~140W. Radeon VEGA 64 can mine with stock BIOS around 2050 H/s at ~160W. On, you can find all the instructions to make VEGA performing that values. Apart from VEGA cards, the RX series is also efficient in mining Monero.
RX550 and RX560 have very low power consumption and RX570/RX580 can do (with BIOS modifications) around 1000H/s at ~100W.
