<h2><strong>What Are GPU Mining And ASIC Mining?</strong></h2>

<p>Today we will look into crypto mining.&nbsp;In this post, we will discuss the differences between GPUs mining&nbsp;and also ASIC&nbsp;mining.&nbsp;For readers who are new to the world of cryptocurrencies, this is a common term which you would have read or heard about.&nbsp;Here is a simple introduction to crypto mining.<br />
&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>GPU Mining</strong></h2>

<p>GPU mining&nbsp;refers to performing a hashing process via a GPU, where the GPU can be used for mining&nbsp;various types of cryptocurrencies.&nbsp;GPU mining&nbsp;can be used to form&nbsp;various types of cryptocurrencies only through an exchange mining&nbsp;algorithm.&nbsp;GPU&nbsp;mining&nbsp;is like a flexible machine, which only with a small tweak or change in the mining&nbsp;algorithm, we can perform mining&nbsp;of various cryptocurrencies which is available within the software that you are using.&nbsp;Among the current cryptocurrencies that use GPU mining&nbsp;is Ethereum, which is one of the most popular cryptocurrencies and ranked second on the CoinMarketCap portfolio today.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>GPU advantages Mining</strong></h2>

<ol>
	<li>Able to perform mining&nbsp;various types of cryptocurrencies permitted by the software that you are using</li>
	<li>The GPU can be used for other applications such as for video rendering and video gaming if not used for crypto mining operations</li>
	<li>Available to most people and sold on the open market.</li>
</ol>

<h2><strong>GPU weakness Mining</strong></h2>

<ol>
	<li>Inefficient in terms of electrical power consumption and algorithm processing.</li>
</ol>

<p><br />
&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>ASIC Mining</strong></h2>

<p>If GPU&nbsp;mining&nbsp;is a system that can perform crypto mining operations simply by changing the algorithm, ASIC mining&nbsp;is a system where it is specifically built and optimized for the processing of one algorithm only.&nbsp;The advantage of using this system is the efficiency of the use of electrical power and processing algorithms in mining&nbsp;compared to GPU mining.&nbsp;The best example of ASIC hardware for mining&nbsp;is Bitcoin.</p>

<h2><strong>Advantages of ASIC Mining</strong></h2>

<ol>
	<li>Faster and more effective hashing algorithm processing</li>
	<li>Lower electrical power consumption</li>
	<li>Easy to implement on a larger scale</li>
</ol>

<h2><strong>ASIC Weaknesses Mining</strong></h2>

<ol>
	<li>Able to process only a singular&nbsp;mining&nbsp;algorithm. Should the algorithm changes or the efficiency of mining&nbsp;is no longer profitable, the ASIC miner will lose its value<br />
	<br />
	&nbsp;</li>
</ol>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Conclusion</strong></h2>

<p>In short, GPU&nbsp;mining&nbsp;is a flexible crypto mining system while ASIC mining&nbsp;is a static crypto mining system.&nbsp;Both, of these two methods of crypto mining, have their advantages and disadvantages.&nbsp;So in choosing the hardware of crypto mining between GPU mining&nbsp;and ASIC mining, please ensure you know and understand what cryptocurrency you want to acquire, and the limits of the crypto mining method you choose.&nbsp;For example, Bitcoin&nbsp;is more efficient using ASIC mining&nbsp;while for Ethereum, GPU mining&nbsp;is much more effective and profitable.</p>
