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sorry i know these cards are outdated but its all i have any help would be nice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

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

As you might have noticed, people here think at 100 bucks like "just 100 bucks".
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.
