🎮 From a gaming graphics card to a mining rig<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Who would have thought that just a few years after Project Ethereum, regular gaming graphics cards would once again be at the center of hype? It’s a completely different year, and talk of “mining being dead” flares up as frequently as old graphics cards in a microwave. Since Ethereum finally moved to Proof-of-Stake, thousands of gaming GPUs have been stuck in limbo. Where should the computing power be redirected? Which algorithm will become the next gold mine? And is it true that those aging RX 580s are still profitable?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s slow down a bit and take a look around. The cryptocurrency world operates by different rules today: many networks are implementing ASIC-resistant solutions, block rewards are decreasing, and energy regulations are becoming stricter. However, the battle for hashrate continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

🚀 Why the algorithm is more important than the graphics card brand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At first glance, it seems the graphics card model plays the main role. The powerful RTX 4090 and Radeon RX 7900 XTX truly deliver impressive hashrate. But the results are determined not only by the hardware, but also by the algorithm you’re using to power your power outlet. The algorithm is the heart of any PoW project. It sets memory and core requirements, dictates the appropriate hardware, and determines the ease of running an ASIC rig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blockchains deliberately choose algorithms to either attract as many participants as possible (ASIC-resistant solutions) or, conversely, make things more difficult for solo miners. For example, Ravencoin uses KawPow, a modification of ProgPow that hinders the development of specialized devices and leaves the market to gaming cards. Ethereum Classic, after the demise of Ethereum, runs on Etchash and requires a fair amount of video memory. Kaspa chose kHeavyHash, an energy-efficient but core-oriented modification of HeavyHash. And so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choosing the right algorithm is a balance between profitability, hardware availability, and personal risk tolerance. Below, we examine the key PoW algorithms that are preoccupying GPU miners in 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

🔥 KawPow \u2013 the heart of Ravencoin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ravencoin’s<\/a> history is reminiscent of a fairy tale: the project was created to tokenize assets and remains one of the few networks where a regular GPU still matters<\/strong> . The KawPow algorithm was designed specifically to suppress ASIC dominance. It’s a hybrid of Ethash and ProgPow, utilizing both the core and memory, making life difficult for developers of specialized chips. The block reward of 2,500 RVN remains attractive, and since halvings occur approximately every four years, profitability declines gradually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A graphics card with 4\u20136 GB of VRAM is sufficient for mining RVN, with 8 GB being better for future DAG files. Coincub emphasizes that Ravencoin is one of the last projects where consumer GPUs truly make the difference. KawPow requires careful power management: overclocking will lead to a disproportionate increase in consumption and heat. However, with careful undervolting, you can achieve an impressive hashrate-per-watt ratio. Ultimately, overclocked speed isn’t the only criterion; stability and temperature ensure a long hardware life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

✨ kHeavyHash \u2013 Kaspa’s audacity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Kaspa has been hailed by many as a “post-Ethereum savior”\u2014and for good reason. The project launched without a premine, is built on the BlockDAG graph structure, and processes transactions in multiple threads. kHeavyHash<\/a> is a modified HeavyHash that favors a powerful GPU core and uses almost no video memory. This makes the algorithm energy-efficient and allows for squeezing more hashrate out of older cards without running into memory constraints. However, things aren’t all rosy: as Coincub notes, ASICs will begin to replace video cards as early as 2026, and while GPUs are “technically viable,” they are economically weaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kaspa’s advantages include a fair launch, the absence of large pre-mines, and a gradual 5% monthly reward reduction. This gives early miners an advantage, but requires careful calculations: the payback period is reduced, while the difficulty increases. According to experts at crazy-mining.org, with properly selected equipment, the payback period can be eight to twelve months. When choosing kHeavyHash, it’s important to consider electricity costs and potential hardware obsolescence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

🧠 Etchash \u2013 salvation after the “merger”<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Following Ethereum’s transition to Proof-of-Stake, thousands of miners migrated to Ethereum Classic, which uses the Etchash algorithm. This hashing algorithm is similar to Ethash<\/a> but is optimized for a smaller DAG. Its advantages include a high level of decentralization and the ability to mine on GPUs with 4\u20136 GB of memory. However, experts warn that Etchash<\/a> is memory-intensive: GPUs with 8 GB perform better, while older models experience a decrease in hashrate as the DAG size increases. A ServerMania review notes that RTX 3090 Ti cards with 24 GB of VRAM are particularly good for Etchash and Autolykos, providing a “safety margin” for future generations of the algorithm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ethereum Classic network currently pays a little over three ETC per block. The difficulty increases as hashpower increases, but profitability remains competitive, especially if you already have GPUs left over from ETH mining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

🌿 Autolykos \u2013 Ergo Philosophy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ergo is an attempt to restore fairness to the block chain: no private investors, the entire supply is distributed to miners. The network’s core is Autolykos v2<\/strong> , an asymmetric, memory-intensive algorithm that solves the k-sum problem and forces the graphics card to constantly access VRAM. This design not only protects against ASIC developers but also reduces heat output, extending the life of the hardware. According to Coincub’s creators, Autolykos runs effectively on consumer cards and even on older, “common” RX 470s. The block reward in 2026 is three ERGs, and thanks to the “Storage Rent” mechanism, a portion of the fees is returned to miners from forgotten wallets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Autolykos’s<\/a> profitability depends on electricity costs and ERG prices. The difficulty is adjusted every 1024 blocks, so it’s important to monitor the network’s computing power. A nice bonus is that the algorithm is overclocking-friendly: reducing the memory clock and increasing the core clock can improve energy efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

🧩 ZelHash \u2013 the promise of Flux<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Flux is the successor to ZelCash, which has built an ecosystem around miners from the very beginning. The ZelHash<\/a> algorithm (Equihash 125.4)<\/strong> is one of the reasons the community values \u200b\u200bthis project. According to the Flux team, ZelHash is a GPU-focused implementation of Equihash with built-in ASIC and FPGA resistance. It was developed by Wilke Trey (the author of lolMiner) and ensures a fair distribution of the hashrate. The block reward currently stands at 75 Flux, but half of this goes to nodes, leaving miners with 37.5 Flux. Parallel assets and Titan bonuses allow for increased revenue by distributing tokens across other chains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flux actively collaborates with miners, integrating pool operators and overclocking programs, and promises to remain ASIC-resistant. However, it’s worth remembering that the project requires cards with 8 GB of memory and a stable connection\u2014ZelHash DAG files grow, and weaker hardware quickly becomes obsolete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

💡 Verthash \u2013 the people’s coin Vertcoin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Vertcoin positions itself as a “coin for the people.” Its Verthash<\/strong> <\/a>algorithm is designed to make ASIC development pointless. The developers specifically designed high video memory requirements: each hash consumes a significant amount of VRAM, and simply increasing the core clock provides no benefit. Coincub emphasizes that this architecture makes consumer cards the most efficient option for mining VTC<\/strong> . Blocks are generated approximately every two and a half minutes, with a reward of 12.5 VTC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A card with 2\u20134 GB of memory is sufficient for stable Vertcoin mining, but it’s best to have extra memory\u2014Vertash loves memory. The project is attractive to beginners: a low entry barrier, detailed guides, and a friendly community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

🛡️ Equihash and other options<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Beyond the algorithms mentioned, Equihash<\/a> and its derivatives are worth considering . Zcash<\/a> , for example, uses Equihash and remains a GPU-mineable coin in 2026. The reward is 1.5625 ZEC, and the network is characterized by low difficulty and ASIC resistance. Grin uses Cuckatoo32<\/a> (a variant of Cuckoo Cycle), which requires powerful NVIDIA cards. Dogecoin and Litecoin continue to run on Scrypt, but ASIC miners dominate them. Historical material on crazy-mining.org recalls that Scrypt was created as a memory-intensive algorithm that allowed mining on GPUs; however, specialized hardware has now shattered this dream. Monero remains a bastion of privacy: its RandomX<\/strong> <\/a>is optimized for CPUs and GPUs, resisting ASIC miners. The reward is fixed (0.6 XMR) and will remain in effect indefinitely, maintaining an incentive for miners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

🌍 Trends and tips for next year<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Can one algorithm be called “the most profitable”? Unlikely. Profitability depends on many factors: coin price, network complexity, electricity costs, and hardware efficiency. Some algorithms generate thousands today and go out of fashion tomorrow. Nevertheless, as of January next year, analysts highlight KawPow and kHeavyHash<\/strong> as the most promising for GPU miners: Ravencoin still relies on video cards, and Kaspa offers a chance to quickly recoup investment with the right approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Memory-intensive algorithms like Autolykos and Etchash will be attractive to those with high-VRAM cards. Flux, with its ZelHash and generous reward model, will appeal to those ready to explore parallel assets. Vertcoin and Zcash remain niche but are beginner-friendly. RandomX (Monero) is an excellent choice for those looking to mine on CPUs and small GPUs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, never forget about electricity and heating. No matter how much you like the algorithm, your electricity bill can completely negate any profitability. Use calculators, calculate your payback period, monitor the exchange rate, connect to a pool for stable payouts, and always keep your equipment in a cool place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
