When you decide you are going to start mining Ethereum!

Having problems installing that new stick of memory? Found some great software or having issues with something? Or maybe want to chat about your PlayStation, X-Box, Nintendo, Sega, even your old Spectrum 48k....! Or maybe something you want to sell or acquire (computing related of course!). Let us know here...

Hi Chris

And apparently, you can buy BIOS upgrades for AMD GPu's on fleabay:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/112664806446

However, upgrading to just 29.5-30.5 MH/s for ETHEREUM, seems like a waste (unless someone else can enlighten me) as a small Antminer can do 1.6GH/s and thats just running on a 5 V rail....

I'd have thought these GPU's could do far better than 30 MH/s...???

regards
Tim

You cannot mine Ethereum on ASIC devices, that was part of the design.

I am guessing the hashrate is quite low as these are AMD RX570's.
