Title: Nvidia mining Help
Post by: game4life on June 01, 2011, 01:59:14 AM
Hello forum,

My name is Pete and I just started farming bitcoins on my desktop computer. I am using the latest version of GUIMiner to do so. Right now Im using a nvidia gtx 465 gpu and with overclocking to 840/1680 (core/shader) I have achieving a Mhash of 90 per second. I was wondering if there was any way to increase the Mhash, like some sort of "fix". I feel that with my current graphics card there must be some way to improve the performance due to the fact that ATI cards of equal standards are achieving a much higher Mhash/s.

Any help would be greatly apiriciated.

Thanks for your time,

Pete

ati and nvidia are not of equal standards... Nvidia is good at floating point while ati is good at integer calculation. Since Sha256 is using integer calculation, nvidia cards suck at mining. So, there might be the one or other hint at getting more out of your card, but you'll never get on par with an ati card :|
