I know I'm not actively mining eth but I can't figure out whats wrong:

Is my GPU not powerful enough?

  • Are you mining solo or in a pool? And what card do you use?

  • AMD Radeon HD 6570 - I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't the right card. I'm VERY new to this, so any help would be tremendously appreciated.

  • Ethereum miners are optimized to run on AMD RX 480/580 but you can also use NVidia 1070/1080/1080Ti

  • I have always been partial to AMD technology. Is there a certain spec I should be looking for?

  • As far as i know those series are the only ones you can use. If you don't like AMD then you can use Nvidia GeForce 10xx series

  • Just keep in mind, all those cards are lately ridiculously priced because of huge demand. Nvidia 1080Ti that i could but for $649 in November, now costs $1049
