GPU Mining For Cryptocurrencies

Crypto Bitcoin Ethereum Altcoin

Mining cryptocurrencies requires expensive graphics processing units (GPUs, also known as video cards) that consume high amounts of electricity. The profitability of GPU mining depends on the price of cryptocurrency and mining pool fees.

Many popular cryptocurrencies use the Scrypt algorithm, which allows them to be mined on GPU hardware. Other coins utilize the DaggerHashimoto algorithm designed to attain ASIC resistance.
