"Yo, fellow miners! I just spent the last 48 hours tweaking my rig's GPU settings and I'm stoked to report a 25% increase in SHA-256 hashing speed. Anyone else experimenting with core optimizations or have some sweet tweaks to share?"

"Lol @ trying to optimize GPU cores for SHA-256 hashing. Not like the algo is scalable for mining anyway. Just a fun experiment, right?"

"Lol nice catch with the core tweaking, guys. I've been playing around with MSI Afterburner to squeeze out a few extra MHS. Anyone else noticed a significant boost with the new GPU drivers?"

"Whoa, this is huge! I've been experimenting with my RX 6800 XT and I never thought about using the 3D rendering engine for SHA-256 optimization. Can you share the specific tweaks you used to crank up the hash rates?"

"Whoa, didn't know that tweaking GPU core clocks could boost SHA-256 speed that much. Gonna try experimenting with some AMD cards, maybe I can squeeze out some extra hashrates with these settings. Anyone know if this is applicable to all AMD GPUs or just certain models?"

"Lol, nice work OP. Been following this thread, was wondering if anyone would manage to squeeze out more performance from these older GPUs. How many extra rigs can you power with the savings now?"

Just a heads up for the newbies, but this is a pretty advanced thread. Has anyone considered using AMD GPUs over NVidia for the optimized cores? Would love to see some benchmarks comparing the two.

"Lol, nice find OP! I've been experimenting with various settings for my 3080 Ti and this 'Gotcha' setting seems to give me a solid 10-15% boost in hashing power. Can anyone confirm if this tweak is compatible with other GPUs, like the 3090?"
