Title: Can't get above 25 MH/s Post by: maltaethiron on May 28, 2011, 12:59:40 AM So I'm fairly new to the BitCoin community.
I recently set up my miner and I was just wondering why I can't seem to get my MH/s above 25. It's really frustrating. I am using my GPU, and I'm using GUI Miner. My video card is a nVidia Geforce 240 GT with 1GB onboard memory. I haven't been able to find any topics about this specific problem, and I haven't been able to find any "extra flags" for my specific card series, either. Any help would be greatly appreciated! -maltaethiron Title: Re: Can't get above 25 MH/s Post by: xenon481 on May 28, 2011, 01:06:56 AM https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison
You are getting what you should on that hardware. Title: Re: Can't get above 25 MH/s Post by: maltaethiron on May 28, 2011, 01:17:54 AM Ok, thanks for the help xe

(sorry, fanboys) Agreed. That's why I have NVIDIA in the gaming rig and ATI in the mining rig. ;D Title: Re: Can't get above 25 MH/s Post by: kpriess on May 28, 2011, 06:47:22 AM protip: ati mines faster than nvidia (sorry, fanboys) And nvidia games better than ati.

(sorry, fanboys) First benchmark I looked at: http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/2011-gaming-graphics-charts/3DMark11-Enthusiast,2660.html They're looking pretty much neck and neck to me. Perhaps 5-10% performance difference at certain price points. Where is the evidence that they "game better"? Overall there appears to be very little difference, with the exception of certain GPGPU applications, some of which favour certain cards (bitcoin mining being an obvious example).
