: Proper tuning is critical to prevent hardware damage, as VRAM and core temperatures will rise significantly under the KAWPOW load. Step-by-Step Overclocking Guide
: Increase memory clock in +50 MHz intervals using a tool like MSI Afterburner until unstable, then back off one step.
: KAWPOW uses a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) similar to Ethash, requiring at least 3GB of VRAM , though 4GB or more is highly recommended.
: Unlike Ethereum which often ignores the core, Ravencoin performance scales with both core and memory clocks.
: Start at 70-80% power limit for a balance of efficiency (hash per watt), or increase toward 100% if electricity is cheap and cooling is sufficient.
Overclocking your video card for , which uses the KAWPOW algorithm , requires a different approach than mining memory-focused coins like Ethereum. Because KAWPOW is intensive on both the GPU core and memory, you typically need to allow for higher power consumption and heat output. Core Overclocking Principles for RVN
: Ravencoin generally consumes more power than other popular coins; many miners find they must increase power limits by 5–10% compared to their Ethereum settings to maintain stable hashrates.
