ForgeMiner
A native GPU miner for NVIDIA and AMD Radeon cards, for Pearl (PearlHash), KawPow (Ravencoin, Quai, Neurai), Xelis, Conflux and Quantus. It talks to NVIDIA cards through the CUDA Driver API and to AMD cards through OpenCL — no Python, no WSL, no extra runtimes.
Pros:
- Dedicated kernel per GPU generation (NVIDIA Pascal through Blackwell, AMD RDNA 1–4), auto-selected at launch.
- Near-zero CPU load — direct CUDA Driver API, no Python/toolkit, runs well on weak hosts and crowded rigs.
- Built-in overclocking, power limit and fan control on NVIDIA and AMD, plus core voltage on AMD — no third-party OC tool needed.
- NVIDIA and AMD cards in one rig mine in a single ForgeMiner process, with the same command lines.
- Multi-pool with automatic reconnect and fail-over.
- HiveOS ready — drops straight into a Custom miner slot.
Cons:
- Closed-source; releases are published only on GitHub, Telegram and Discord.
- No Intel GPU or CPU mining.
List of Coins and Algorithms:
- Pearl (PRL) — PearlHash
- Ravencoin (RVN) — KawPow
- Quai (QUAI) — KawPow
- Neurai (XNA) — KawPow
- Xelis (XEL) — XelisHash
- Conflux (CFX) — Octopus. Needs about 9.4 GB of video memory, and that grows as the chain advances: 8 GB cards cannot mine it, 10 GB is tight, 11 GB and up is fine. The same holds for AMD cards.
- Quantus (QTC) — quantus. Runs on NVIDIA GTX 10 (Pascal) and newer, Tesla V100 included, but not on the CMP 170HX; on AMD, on the RX 5000 series and newer.
Fees
- Pearl 2%
- KawPow (RVN / QUAI / XNA) 0.7%
- Xelis 1%
- Conflux 1.5%
- Quantus 2%
Supported GPUs
- NVIDIA Pascal (GTX 10, P104-100), Volta (Titan V), Turing (RTX 20), Ampere (RTX 30), Ada (RTX 40), Blackwell (RTX 50), and CMP mining cards. RTX 20-series and CMP cards need driver 545+.
- AMD Radeon RDNA 1 (RX 5700 XT, 5700, 5600 XT, 5500 XT), RDNA 2 (RX 6600 to 6950 XT), RDNA 3 (RX 7600 to 7900 XTX) and RDNA 4 (RX 9060 XT, 9070, 9070 XT; needs a recent driver, on HiveOS a current image). Plain Linux needs AMD's OpenCL runtime (ROCm); HiveOS already has it. The RX 6500 XT / 6400 and integrated Radeon graphics are not supported.
