  • For ease of use: miners with GUIs or pool-provided miner packages may be more user-friendly for beginners.
  • Do not use the old 3.7.2 or 4.x branches for ASICs. For GPU mining (Scrypt/SHA-256) or USB ASICs (like Antminer U2, GekkoScience), use cgminer 4.11.1 – but patched for Windows 11.

    If you are looking for a "better" experience than CGMiner on Windows 11 with modern hardware, you should switch to active, open-source projects: cgminer+download+windows+11+better

    Windows 11’s network stack adds latency. Add this flag to your batch file: For ease of use: miners with GUIs or

    --net-delay 1
    --queue 2
    

    This buffers shares locally, preventing the OS from interrupting the network stream. Do not use the old 3

    CGMiner allows direct GPU control:

    --gpu-engine 1150-1200    (range allows dynamic downclocking on Windows 11)
    --gpu-memclock 2100-2200
    --gpu-powertune 20         (increases power limit by 20%)
    

    Warning: On Windows 11, driver watchdog timers are aggressive. Avoid engine increments above 50 MHz per step.
