Bitcoins!

[matteumayo]

and opencl is required for GPU bitcoins correct so the oldestcard one could run is a 4xx0 series card?

Yes.

 

[AphexDreamer]

Just got off work.

Thanks matteumayo. It would spew an error out with me too but I just manually typed in bitcoin.exe -sever

I'm still fine with doing that, its not like its hard to remember or anything

 

[cdawall]

what kind of hashrate will i be looking at running this config

AMD ax2 5200+ AM3 regor
Crosshair III
HD4350 1GB
9800GT ECO

running the gpu clients 1 per GPU or does it not work like f@h?

What is/was in your batch file?

If it matters I might be able to see if anything's out of the ordinary.

This is it now
start /DC:\bitcoin\

This was it before when it wouldn't work
start /DC:\bitcoin\bitcoin.exe -server

I basically just type the last bit in myself.
But I've had my computer running 3 days straight now. Hopefully within another 3 days I get another block.

I think you can run 2 clients at the same time, just specify the device number (0, and 1 probably) in your batch file for the GPU client.

Those would each get 6-7m/hash, for bitcoin-mining you might want to consider an upgrade/using a higher end card.

EDIT: Also, if that's your only option right now, you could join a pool. I don't know the exact URL but it's been posted in this thread I believe.

Well what worked for me was this: (assuming we have the same setup)

start /DC:\bitcoin bitcoin.exe -server

That should save you a couple seconds, if you want to give it a try

meh... I'm good, but thanks anyways.

No problem

i have higher end cards was just curious how they would do sort of a try before you buy thing was planning on setting those up and if they were worth anything it will be on the CH3 and i can make 3 other single slot cards run off of the pci-e 4x slots 4650's or 5570's would work well

Well the more you can get running per Bitcoin application the better your luck.

So if you can get 4 GPU's running on the same PC that sounds pretty dam goood.

 

[cdawall]

will post pics of the assembled rig shortly

hows this work as far as core per client dual core cpu+ 2 gpus= 4 clients or just 2?

It all adds up as far as I'm aware. They have some Dual CPU+GPU Client guides out there but I'm just doing the GPU.

So I know it can be done I'm just not sure how :/ You could just have the Bitcon application Generate from the CPU like it normally does but its not effecient.

If you look for some Dual CPU GPU guides you can milk every hash out of your hardware.

I think this might be what your interested in.

My i7 920 @ 4GHZ gets 6 200 khash/s but consumes more in energy than bitcoins can reimburse

My electricity is part of the lease ill fold everything lol

 

[n-ster]

the CPU aging or something might not even get paid lol

 

[cdawall]

ready to go

Aphex just helped me figure this out... seems ATI stream 2.3 wasnt working for me, went back to 2.2...

Now to get my PhysX card and main card to work would be great for now only my PhysX card works

 

[AphexDreamer]

Nice

And free money is even nicer

Best of luck with your Rig! Happy Bitcoin Hunting!

I uninstalled my NV drivers and now it doesn't work anymore >.>

EDIT: Rofl now I repair my ATI stream install and it works with my main card is 229~230M for a 6870 OK? Anyone does any further adjustments?

249~250 @ 975 core

Up the core as much as you can while reducing memory clock as much as you can.

Also, it has been reported that Stream 2.2 gives better performance than Stream 2.3

 

[n-ster]

What program can I use to underclock my memory? I'd like to try to do 1000 core and at most 800 mem

 

[Wyverex]

You should be able to underclock memory via Catalyst's Overdrive.
2nd slider from the top

 

[n-ster]

my minimum is 1050

 

[Wyverex]

Lame Overdrive minimum limit :/
Did you try Afterburner?
