This article will provide you with a benchmark information on best Ethereum miners on HiveOs for your Nvidia GPU card. For our benchmark we have considered all currently available crypto miners on HiveOS, namely: Ethminer, Bminer, lolminer, Phoenixminer, T-rex, Gminer, Nbminer, Nanominer and TT-miner.
In this tutorial you will learn:
- Best Ethereum Miner based on hash rate speed
- Best Ethereum Miner based on mining efficiency
Software Requirements and Conventions Used
| Category | Requirements, Conventions or Software Version Used |
|---|---|
| System | HiveOS LInux |
| Hardware | Any mining worthy Nvidia Graphics Card |
| Other | Privileged access to your Linux system as root or via the sudo command. |
| Conventions |
# – requires given linux commands to be executed with root privileges either directly as a root user or by use of sudo command$ – requires given linux commands to be executed as a regular non-privileged user |
About our test environment
| Operating System | Nvidia Driver | CUDA Version | GPU model | Absolute Core Clock | Memory Clock | Power Limit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| HiveOS Linux | 460.67 | 11.2 | Nvidia RTX 3080 | 1080 | 2000 | 250 |
Benchmark Results
Based on our tests the best Ethereum miner with a highest efficiency is Nbminer. This particular miner scored 461.22H and at the same time performed second in terms of the fastest hash-rate.
When it comes to the miner with a fastest hash rate the best score, even though marginally belongs to T-Rex miner with a hash rate of 98.26MH.
Although, the miner benchmark results for the rest of the miner are marginal, they might make significant difference on a large scale deployment.
| Miner | Version | Hash-rate | Power Consumption | Efficiency |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ethminer | v.0.19.0.2 | 97.11MH | 220W | 441.41 |
| Bminer | v16.4.6 | 95.58MH | 213W | 448.73 |
| lolminer | v.1.29 | 96.71MH | 213W | 454.04 |
| Phoenixminer | v.PM 5.5c | 97.67MH | 219W | 445.98 |
| T-rex | v.0.20.4 | 98.26MH | 215W | 457.02 |
| Gminer | v.2.55 | 97.88MH | 215W | 459.53 |
| Nbminer | v.37.6 | 98.24MH | 213W | 461.22 |
| Nanominer | v.3.3.5 | 97.21MH | 221W | 439.86 |
| TT-miner | v.6.1.0 | 97.40MH | 217W | 448.85 |
Conclusion
The above results are based on current Miner versions available on HiveOS and specific GPU, hence the results should be only used as a guideline. Keep your system up to date and update your miners regularly.
