Non-specialized hardware comparison – Bitcoin Wiki

Due to the rising hashrate of the bitcoin network caused by the introduction of ASICs to the market, GPU mining Bitcoins has become impracticable. The hashrate of most GPU units is below 1GH/s, and as of 2014, some single ASIC units are able to reach speeds of over 1,000GH/s while consuming far less power than used by a GPU. The information in this table is preserved for historical interest, but does not include many GPUs which were released after the advent of ASIC mining.

Stream SDK 2.5 seems to have resolved many of the problems with earlier versions. Everyone’s setups will be unique so this should only be a guide or starting point, not an absolute.

A lot of nice data can be pulled from this thread to seed this section.

Might you wish to throttle CPU load a bit, so it doesn’t reach 100°C, it can be done with Battle Encoder Shirase to a margin, like, -15% of available CPU cycles.

Often, the best combination to be is to throttle CPU miner to -5% AND set it to least of priority levels, so as not to choke GPU miner up.

This is achieved by running RPC 4 way miner in VMware Fusion 4 (running win 7 in the VM) while in Mac OSX / Mac OS X 10.6.8
Model: MacBookPro6,2 RAM: 8GB.The CPU appears to turbo boost to 3.33GHz in this way from 2.67GHz when running it in this way.The MBP gets very hot and uses a lot of energy though so watch those temps.It’ll throttle after a while unless you keep the air vents clear underneath (ie don’t put int in your lap,etc).
