2017 ZEC virtual currency graphics card computing power test ranking

As we all know, Bitcoin and Litecoin cannot be mined at present, and many miners have turned their attention to virtual currencies such as Zcash and Ethereum. Because mining virtual currencies requires the calculation of graphics card GPU, a large number of mid-range and high-end graphics cards are purchased by miners, resulting in the current shortage and price increase of graphics cards in the market. Large miners often contract high-power KW electricity in a certain area, and run thousands of GTX1070s at the same time. It is expected to recover the cost in half a year, and the profit margin is huge. However, once the mining accident occurs, all mining cards will flow into the second-hand market. Well, without further ado, today the editor of the computer home will share the 2017 Zcash virtual currency graphics card computing power test ranking.

The editor used the limited graphics cards on hand to make a statistics of the computing power of Zcash graphics cards:

A card

A card:

HD 7770 1G =66.4

HD 7850 1G=145

HD 7850 2G=153

HD 7870 2G=160

HD 7950 3GB=257

HD 7990 Red Devil=500

R9 270x 2GB=177

R9 270x 4GB=152

R9 280x=297

R9 290=285

R9 390=258

R7 240 1G=38

RX 470 4G =280

RX 470 4G OC=300

RX 480 8G=300

R9 Nano=295

R9 PRO DUO=630

R9 Fury Nitro=430

N card

N card:

GTX 960SSC=140

GTX 980SC=310

GTX 970=250

GTX 750TI 2G=65

GTX 950 =110

GTX 960 2G=141

GTX 1050TI 4G=170

GTX 1060 3G=250

GTX 1060 6G=280

GTX 1070 8G=435

GTX 1080 8G=520

From the Zcash GPU hashrate test we can draw the following conclusions:

1. Samsung particles are faster than Hynix particles.

2. The same 7850, one is MSI's high-end HAWK 1G, the other is Sapphire's ordinary version, the video memory and core frequency are different, but the stream processor is the same, so the results are basically the same.

3. It is surprising that the performance of an old graphics card like HD 7850 can surpass GTX960.

4. Compared with XMR, ZEC is not sensitive to video memory.

5. Although the stream processors of N cards and A cards are not the same and their architectures are completely different, in the calculation of ZEC, the computing power is almost increased by the increase of stream processors. Although GTX570 is quite powerful in playing games, it only has 480 stream processors and got a miserable score of 25.

Using mining machines to mine is a very energy-wasting thing. Once a mining accident occurs, you need to be careful if you buy a second-hand graphics card. The core parts and power supply parts of the graphics card will become burnt due to long-term uninterrupted full-load work. Just check the core parts and power supply parts on the PCB on the back of the graphics card.

The above is the 2017 Zcash (ZEC) virtual currency graphics card computing power test ranking provided by Zhuangjizhijia. I hope it can help everyone.
