New XMRig 6.0.0-Beta Miner With KAWPOW Support for AMD and Nvidia GPUs

5, Jun 2020

The latest release of the XMRig 6.0.0-Beta comes with support for the KAWPOW algorithm used by Ravencoin (RVN) for both AMD and Nvidia GPUs. Although we are often associating XMRig with CPU mining for RandomX, it also supports a number of algorithms and mining on GPUs as well. We have tried KAWPOW support and frankly had some trouble making it work on two different Radeon RX 580 mining rigs as well as one GTX 1080 Ti rig, so we are back to using TeamRedMiner as the best performing solution for AMD GPUs and T-Rex for Nvidia for the moment as far as RVN mining is concerned.

We remind you that XMRig is an open source GPU ad GPU miner available for Windows and Liunx operating systems, the official pre-compiled binaries are with 1% developer fee, though you can compile yourself with zero fee from the source code should you wish and can.

New XMRig 5.10.0 Miner With AstroBWT AMD GPU Mining

23, Mar 2020

The latest release of the XMRig 5.10.0 comes with support for the AstroBWT algorithm on AMD GPUs, besides the already available CPU mining support, along with some optimizations for the algorithm used by the DERO project since a fork switching the algorithm earlier this month. another important change in the miner is that the cn/gpu algorithm is now disabled by default and will be removed in next major release (v6.x.x), as well as a major TLS (Transport Layer Security) subsystem update. As far as AMD GPU performance on the AstroBWT algorithm compared to CPU mining, an AMD Radeon RX 580 8GB does seem to produce a hashrate slower than that of a mid-range CPU. A higher-end processor such as AMD Ryzen 3900X could be as much as 4 times faster than a RX 580 GPU, so AMD GPU mining may not be that attractive for AstroBWT.
