How to choose between GPU mining rigs and professional mining rigs

To obtain digital currency, you need to mine. Users need to download software to allow the computer to continuously run a specific algorithm for a certain period of time, and then communicate with a remote server to obtain the corresponding digital currency. In the early days of mining, any computer could be used for mining, and the difficulty was extremely low. However, as more and more miners join the mining trend, the probability of personal computers mining digital currency is getting smaller and smaller, so specially configured mining machines are needed to achieve higher mining efficiency.

Graphics card assembly mining machine

The graphics card mining machine is essentially the same as our desktop computer, except that a few more graphics cards are connected through adapters, so the entry threshold for mining is extremely low; at the same time, its compatibility is very good, and it is not picky about the type of currency to be mined. As long as the corresponding digital currency wallet and mining software are installed, you can start mining.

The problem with this type of mining machine is that it mostly works by burning graphics cards, consumes a lot of power, and needs to run 24 hours a day, so there are very high requirements for the quality and life of components such as graphics cards and power supplies. At the same time, a certain amount of experience is required in machine assembly.

Professional mining machine

There are many mining machines dedicated to mining on the market. Their advantage is that their power consumption is smaller than that of mining machines assembled with graphics cards, and their performance is equal to or even stronger than that of mining machines assembled with graphics cards, especially ASIC mining machines designed specifically for mining. Their mining speed is much faster than graphics cards.

Of course, professional mining machines also have some shortcomings. For example, these mining machines are expensive and have limited stock. Once they are launched, they will be snapped up and the official mall is always sold out. Moreover, professional mining machines can generally only mine a certain type of currency. For example, the popular Antminer S9 is for Bitcoin mining, and the Antminer L3 is for Litecoin mining. They are very lacking in compatibility.

Summary: The two types of mining machines are suitable for different mining needs

1. If you are more focused on mining popular currencies such as Bitcoin, it is recommended that you pay attention to the official website of professional mining machine providers and purchase professional mining machines, which will increase your mining efficiency.

2. If you want to mine currencies other than Bitcoin, it is recommended to assemble a graphics card mining machine by yourself.

(1) Compared with mining popular currencies such as Bitcoin, the competition is not too fierce.

(2) Compatibility will be better, so there is no need to worry about the instability of the market of the digital currency you are mining. If it doesn’t work, just switch to another currency.
