RE: Gridcoin GPU mining (7): Earning Gridcoin without BOINC
actually would you recommend Nvidia or AMD for BOINC? For cryptography and cryptocurrency btw AMD is well suited since it about arithmetic and integers.
Yes, until a year or two ago AMD was better for BOINC, their design more suited for heavy computational workloads. However, I would say that Nvidia has overtaken AMD recently, especially with their GTX1080 series which have unparalleled FP32 performance. Not to mention that there are still BOINC projects which support only CUDA and therefore only Nvidia (like Asteroids@home or GPUGRID). Looking forward to Vega and better performance from AMD.
