If you're going to use Windows at all, then get the latest Windows 10 Pro ISO (since FCU added 12-GPU support), debloat it with MSMG Toolkit, and disable Windows Update in services.msc. And overclock/GPU tweak options have been more limited on Linux in my testing.įor AMD mining, hashrates have been better on Windows due to blockchain driver Windows has also featured better control over GPU settings with AMD, at least historically - there was a time that over/underclocking AMD cards on Linux didn't really work as well, or at all.Īs for LTSB, forget it for mining. The best profit switchers are currently on Windows.
Linux all depends on your hardware, and your mining strategy (which coins, algorithms, mining software, profit switcher).
