Once your rigs run, the next jump in GPU Tycoon: Crypto Mining Sim comes from overclocking and prestige. New here? Read the beginner guide first.
The Overclock Center
Pick a GPU from your stock and tune three settings: core clock, memory clock and core voltage. The panel shows the effect on temperature, health, hashrate, power consumption, efficiency and wear. The game warns you directly: raising voltage and clock increases heat and wear drastically.
Run the thermal test first
Use Start Thermal Test before you apply a setting. You can abort the test at any time. Only press Apply Overclock when temperature and wear look safe for the extra hashrate. Push too far and the card can end up with the message GPU burned, which means losing the card.
Gacha tuning
The Overclock Center also has Gacha Tuning: roll the dice to gain permanent upgrades for a GPU. The rolled values do not increase the card's base temperature or consumption, so the roll itself adds no extra heat or power draw.
Balance power and cooling
An overclock raises energy use, and every rig is limited by the capacity of its power supply. A cooler helps with heat. Your electricity bill grows with consumption, so compare the extra hashrate against the extra cost before you commit.
Prestige
Prestige resets your progress for a permanent multiplier on all earnings. You unlock it by mining enough lifetime hashes, and the screen shows your progress to the next level, the current multiplier and the next one.
- You lose: money, current level, XP, perks, equipment, inventory, crypto balances, block progress and missions.
- You keep: VIP upgrades, Silicon Chips, skills and achievements.
Because skills carry over, spend your research points before you prestige. The game also lets later runs start at a higher initial level.
