autolykos2 | 0% | Yes | Yes | — |
kawpow | 1% | Yes | Yes | Yes |
nexapow | 1% | Yes | Yes | Yes |

pearlhash | 0% | Tensor Core | RDNA 2–4 | — |
progpowz | 1% | Yes | Yes | Yes |
qhash | 2% | Yes | Yes | Yes |
quantus | 2% | Yes | Yes | Yes |
sha256d | 0% | Yes | Yes | Yes |
xelishashv3 | 1% | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Support depends on the specific GPU, driver and free memory. PearlHash needs NVIDIA Tensor Cores (Volta or newer, excluding GTX 16) or AMD RDNA 2–4.
Supported graphics cards
NVIDIAGeForce, TITAN V & CMP
| Generation | Graphics cards |
|---|---|
| Pascal | GeForce GTX 10 series |
| Volta | TITAN V |
| Turing | GeForce GTX 16 series, RTX 20 series, NVIDIA CMP 30HX, CMP 50HX |
| Ampere | GeForce RTX 30 series, NVIDIA CMP 70HX, CMP 90HX, CMP 170HX |
| Ada Lovelace | GeForce RTX 40 series |
| Blackwell | GeForce RTX 50 series |
NVIDIA Data CenterPascal → Blackwell
| Architecture | Supported models |
|---|---|
| Pascal | Tesla P4, P40, P100 |
| Volta | Tesla V100 |
| Turing | NVIDIA T4 |
| Ampere | NVIDIA A2, A10, A16, A30, A40, A100, A800 |
| Ada Lovelace | NVIDIA L4, L40, L40S |
| Hopper | NVIDIA H20, H100, H200, H800 |
| Blackwell | NVIDIA B100, B200, B300 |
PearlHash needs Tensor Cores. Pascal cards and GTX 16 cards cannot mine it.
AMD RadeonPolaris → RDNA 4
| Generation | Graphics cards |
|---|---|
| Polaris | Radeon RX 470 / 480 / 570 / 580 / 590 |
| Vega | Radeon RX Vega 56 / 64, Radeon VII |
| RDNA 1 | Radeon RX 5000 series |
| RDNA 2 | Radeon RX 6000 series |
| RDNA 3 | Radeon RX 7000 series |
| RDNA 4 | Radeon RX 9000 series |
PearlHash needs RDNA 2 or newer. Older GCN 2/3 cards, including Hawaii and Fiji, support KawPow and ProgPowZ only.
AMD InstinctLinux + ROCm
| Architecture | Supported models |
|---|---|
| CDNA 1 | Instinct MI100 |
| CDNA 2 | Instinct MI210, MI250, MI250X |
| CDNA 3 | Instinct MI300A, MI300X, MI308X, MI325X |
| CDNA 4 | Instinct MI350X, MI355X |
Instinct supports AMD algorithms except PearlHash. MI250 / MI250X appear as two GPUs; MI300A shares memory with the CPU.
Intel ArcAlchemist & Battlemage
| Generation | Graphics cards |
|---|---|
| Alchemist | Arc A-series, including A310–A770 |
| Battlemage | Arc B570 / B580 |
Selected Arc Pro and Flex cards are also recognized.
Algorithm availability depends on the card, driver and free video memory. Integrated GPUs are skipped by default; use --gpu-allow-igpu for eligible devices.
Quick start
The Windows package includes ready-made start-*.bat scripts; the Linux package includes start-*.sh scripts. They sit beside the miner. Select a coin and pool, enter your wallet, then copy the template below. AMD and Intel need OpenCL support.
Loading the latest release from GitHub...
For Windows or Linux, save a copied script beside the executable. You can also use a bundled pool script: double-click start-Pearl.bat or run sh start-Pearl.sh. The loop restarts the miner after five seconds if it exits. For HiveOS, mmpOS or SMOS, the generator uses the latest GitHub release; review the pool and wallet settings before using the template. Look for accepted shares to confirm mining is working.
