Title: Cudaminer
Post by: paulmaritz on December 15, 2013, 06:32:32 PM

Can Cudaminer be used with any graphics card or do it need to be used with a Nvidia graphics card? I am asking, because I am in the process of upgrading my graphics card.

I think cudaminer is mostly for nvidia as it takes advantage of cuda that is a part of the nvidia driver.

I've ordered one of these last week: PowerColor AXR9 270X 2GBD5-PPDHE RADEON R9 270X PCS+ 2GB 256bit PCI Express 3.0 Desktop Graphics Card  8)

It should arrive after December the 17th some time. I will then have to switch to CGMiner.
