scrypt mining hardware comparison
Notes:
- Any missing information can be assumed stock values or was not available from source.
- The wattage listed is an estimate.
- Core and Memory speeds are listed in MHz.
- Hash rate is listed in kH/s (kilohash per second).
- Risers are 'yes' or 'no' - used or not used in a rig.
- The setups listed below are examples of what people are doing and getting, it does not mean they are good examples (you might be able to do better, or with a different model GPU of that series)!
