Title: Mining CPu needed with GPU? bottleneck? Post by: sanchaz on June 08, 2011, 02:58:35 AM I know in video games the cpu can often bottleneck a graphics card.
With hashing in mind will a pentium 4 bottle neck one 5850 or more? Title: Re: Mining CPu needed with GPU? bottleneck?

No, the CPU will not be a bottleneck. AMD Sempron 140 is fine. Title: Re: Mining CPu needed with GPU? bottleneck?

No, all the work is done by the GPU. There will be little to no load on the CPU if you're using a GPU miner. Title: Re: Mining CPu needed with GPU? bottleneck?

Title: Re: Mining CPu needed with GPU? bottleneck? Post by: sanchaz on June 08, 2011, 09:26:21 AM humm one core to all gpus why?
will the pentium 4 do? Title: Re: Mining CPu needed with GPU? bottleneck? Post by: mistersaturn on June 08, 2011, 09:45:10 AM just buy a very cheap dual core cpu like i did, bought the cheapest amd athlon dualcore available for like 40 euros and it does not feel like a bottle neck for me.

Post by: sanchaz on June 08, 2011, 01:14:10 PM i do not want to use cpu miners just gpu i i could i would boot up without a cpu lol
so p4 is suppost to just idle there. Title: Re: Mining CPu needed with GPU? bottleneck? Post by: jkminkov on June 08, 2011, 02:20:55 PM cpu will NOT idle, read more topics, if you have 2 or more cards it will use 100% for sure, for one card it depends on OS and luck...
