Title: GPU mining problem with notebook Post by: 1337leet on October 18, 2015, 06:38:05 PM Hey guys,
I have got a problem with my Bfgminer. I use a notebook with onboard graphics and a Nvidia Quadro K1000M GPU. But if I start Bfgminer I only find my onboard graphics and not the Quadro :( What can i do?

I honestly suggest that you not even bother trying... Honestly if I'm correct most mining software dropped CUDA support. Title: Re: GPU mining problem with notebook Post by: 1337leet on October 18, 2015, 07:21:08 PM But I will try... and therefore I need your support...
Title: Re: GPU mining problem with notebook Post by: Pyr3x on October 18, 2015, 07:28:47 PM But I will try... and therefore I need your support... Try searching for terms like CUDA Miner etc.. You may find more info that way... I haven't mined with a GPU in a very, very long time. Title: Re: GPU mining problem with notebook Post by: 1337leet on October 18, 2015, 07:34:46 PM I think the problem is optimus which disabled the Quadro card as long as it isn't used. Not the miningsoftware.

Honestly if I'm correct most mining software dropped CUDA support. (sometime it is better to say nothing when you don't know... ::) ) Now you should probably have a look at ccminer for mining with nvidia. However mining with a laptop is a bad idea as it might destroy your laptop because of the cooling system which isn't powerful enough to handle the heat generated by mining... Title: Re: GPU mining problem with notebook Post by: 1337leet on October 18, 2015, 09:59:10 PM As I know know it isn't possbile at all because the Quadro GPU does only work with 3D calculations.
Title: Re: GPU mining problem with notebook Post by: djm34 on October 18, 2015, 11:57:02 PM As I know know it isn't possbile at all because the Quadro GPU does only work with 3D calculations. not really the case... especially for "pro" gpu... which are built to handle any kind of calculation.but you would probably have to deal with optimus first, so it can let you choose which gpu to run. http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-Quadro-K1000M.76894.0.html (http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-Quadro-K1000M.76894.0.html) ok basically it is a small kepler... and performance will be terrible if you succeed to get it to work... so it isn't worth it Title: Re: GPU mining problem with notebook Post by: Stratobitz on October 19, 2015, 10:56:50 AM Pretty sure you want to use CudaMiner. There were a few releases that allowed the full line of cards, all the way down the 470x cards- I believe created by W0lf.
If you cannot find the posts in the threads, PM me and I'll see if I can dig up the original download/binaries/etc. I archive most of that stuff when I try it. Cheers! Strato Title: Re: GPU mining problem with notebook Post by: 1337leet on October 19, 2015, 02:22:43 PM I already tried cudaminer.
And I selected the Quadro Card for the Cudaminer.exe... but it still took my onboard graphics... i don't know how to change this... even if I select the programm and tell the Quadro card to run it it will still take onboard graphics... don't know why -.- Title: Re: GPU mining problem with notebook Post by: Pyr3x on October 20, 2015, 07:19:38 PM Hey guys, I have got a problem with my Bfgminer.

I apologize OP I made a mistake, I lost track of which sub-forum I was in and thought I was bitcoin mining. The above is true for bitcoin but not altcoin. Again, I apologize. -Py Title: Re: GPU mining problem with notebook Post by: EastKing on October 23, 2015, 08:13:25 AM I mined with nVidia GPU in a notebook. It is too hot. We used to have tools to undervolt the GPU, but it is not supported by newer drivers.
Title: Re: GPU mining problem with notebook Post by: 1337leet on October 23, 2015, 01:04:55 PM How did you mine?
What miner? What configuration? Title: Re: GPU mining problem with notebook Post by: EastKing on October 23, 2015, 02:17:45 PM I do not mine with notebook any more as I cannot undervolt and there is no profitable coin. I should not upgrade the display driver.
Title: Re: GPU mining problem with notebook Post by: Enticed87 on October 24, 2015, 11:43:26 AM I used to mine with a laptop ages ago, long story short it now only turns on and runs when it feels like it.
Title: Re: GPU mining problem with notebook Post by: BitHappy24 on October 27, 2015, 01:15:15 PM Lel why even try on a notebook xD that is not good. Title: Re: GPU mining problem with notebook Post by: 1337leet on October 27, 2015, 01:17:23 PM I got crytonight running in ccminer. Temperature is no problem. GPU is running at 99% load with only 62 degrees celsius. And the outcome is really nice for the power consumtion.
