ASIC vs GPU Mining

ASICs

Purpose-built for mining with higher efficiency and hashrate. Best for dedicated miners with lower electricity costs.

GPUs

Versatile and resellable. Lower initial efficiency but can mine multiple algorithms. Good for hobbyists.

Understanding Efficiency

Efficiency is measured in Joules per Megahash (J/MH). Lower is better.

The most efficient hardware minimizes electricity costs per ETC mined. This becomes critical as difficulty increases.

Profitability depends on your electricity rate. At higher rates (>$0.15/kWh), only the most efficient hardware may be profitable.

Calculate Your Profitability

Use our profitability calculator to estimate your earnings based on your specific hardware configuration.

Profitability estimates are based on current network conditions and may vary. Hardware specifications from manufacturer data. Always verify specs before purchasing. Data reference: WhatToMine
