Title: OpenCL not working on my Nvidia card
Post by: Epicblood on October 12, 2012, 10:29:30 PM
I just recently (yesterday) updated my Nvidia driver because I wanted to start mining bitcoins. After downloading the driver and installing it, and running the miner, I get a popup notifying me that there were no OpenCL devices found. I have restarted my computer and whatnot.

I have an Nvidia GeForce GTX 465

Also,
How many MHs would I get on my i7 930 @ 2.8GHz

thanks :)

Doesn't that use CUDA?

Yes CUDA works, but on my laptop (also an NVidia Card) OpenCL works.
was just wondering why that was.

Cuda = nVidia only
OpenCL = Ati only

nVidia cards are pants for mining, impossible to make any money after electric costs.

Lest anyone get the wrong idea, OpenCL is certainly not limited only to ATI (these days AMD):
