Title: Can I mine without OpenCL? Post by: nerp on June 03, 2011, 01:13:16 AM My GPU chip type is intel series 4, which isn't supported by intel's SDK with their openCL. Is it still possible to mine without openCL (maybe using something else?)

Title: Re: Can I mine without OpenCL? Post by: nerp on June 03, 2011, 01:29:06 AM Will GUIminer use CPU as default if it can't find OpenCL? Otherwise, I'd assume I'd have to change a setting somewhere but I can't find where. Under Device it doesn't even give me an option for CPU, it just says "No OpenCL Devices."

I don't know much about GUIMiner, but I don't think it can use a CPU. When I used to do CPU mining I used jgarzik's CPU miner. It seemed to work pretty well. Title: Re: Can I mine without OpenCL? Post by: RyNinDaCleM on June 03, 2011, 01:48:39 AM GUIminer can use a CPU, IF it supports openCL. You change it with device box. If it says "No openCL" then none of your hardware supports it! Try the bitcoin client. Once the blocks load, in Settings-->Generate Coins. If it's going to work, you'll know it! Your CPU will go to 100%. Watch your temps! ;)
