Title: question about nvidia cards and ati cards for compiling ziftrcoin miners Post by: cavaliersrus on July 23, 2015, 03:42:24 PM hello i run 2 diffrent computers and im using ubuntu 14.04 on both of them and there both 64bit os's
i am not a linux guru or anything i have a GeForce GT 120 which i beleave is compute 1.1 its an older card and i would like to get it to run with http://www.ziftrpool.io/downloads with ccminer cause of the zr5 algorythm it runs i also have a sapphire radeon hd 4870 card i would like to mine on another system and run sgminer on it sorry i know these cards are outdated but its all i have any help would be nice thank you for your time my main ziftrcoin miner runs on windows 7 64bit with 7 of my 8 cores running and also my ati radeon 6850 Title: Re: question about nvidia cards and ati cards for compiling ziftrcoin miners Post by: djm34 on July 26, 2015, 01:44:43 PM hello i run 2 diffrent computers and im using ubuntu 14.04 on both of them and there both 64bit os's gt 120 :oi am not a linux guru or anything i have a GeForce GT 120 which i beleave is compute 1.1 its an older card and i would like to get it to run with http://www.ziftrpool.io/downloads with ccminer cause of the zr5 algorythm it runs i also have a sapphire radeon hd 4870 card i would like to mine on another system and run sgminer on it sorry i know these cards are outdated but its all i have any help would be nice thank you for your time my main ziftrcoin miner runs on windows 7 64bit with 7 of my 8 cores running and also my ati radeon 6850 sell it to a museum and buy a recent card Title: Re: question about nvidia cards and ati cards for compiling ziftrcoin miners Post by: MaxDZ8 on July 27, 2015, 06:35:18 AM Don't even bother with GT120. I had GT130 in the past it's a piece of shit. The graphics performance is decent but compute is very weak and consumption is high (120 will be better but not by much). The architecture is too quirky to work efficiently on anything but graphics.
If you manage to run ZIFTR on 4870 I'll be surprised. AMD OpenCL is often a bit... surprising, let's put it this way. :P Title: Re: question about nvidia cards and ati cards for compiling ziftrcoin miners Post by: cavaliersrus on July 27, 2015, 01:25:37 PM understandable on both accounts but my main problem is i work a min wadge job so this is all i have to work with right now and ziftr coin is not a high diff right now

I didn't want to put you down but really, most people here mine speculatively (hoping to get in the black in the future) or at a loss. Those making a profit are the minority and those making short-term profit by mining are even less. Your electricity bill will go up. You can fry cheap PSUs by running them too long. Be careful.

my electric is very cheap some solar some on my mothers electric bill so electric is not the issue im not here to make alot of money im here to learn this hobby so back to my question is it possible to run these cards mining the ziftr i am not good with linux to get them running so needed some help with that thanks |
