Title: Litecoin mining with cgminer and cgeasy
Post by: klondike_bar on January 05, 2013, 05:02:01 AM
i am trying out litecoin mining on my laptop (i7 620 CPU and NVS-3100m GPU), but it seems only the GPU is producing any work (and only ~4.3khash/s).

i configured with easycg to create the following batch file:  cgminer --scrypt -o http://mine.pool-x.eu:8337 -u klondike_bar.1 -p x --shaders 40 --intensity 12 --worksize 128 -g 1

it seems that only the GPU is creating hashes, despite being under the idea that my CPU should be able to provide sufficient hashrate as well (especially in 64-bit environment?)


also, can anyone clarify whether theres further tweaks i should employ? what is the effect of worksize?

with some slight alterations, ive underclocked the core and memory speeds by about 5%, and returned the worksize to 64. As a result i moved from 3.7khash/s to 5khash/s and reduced hardware error rate by 80%.

still feels low, even for a laptop GPU, plus i feel like im missing out by not having it utilize my CPU (i7 620 mobile quad-core) at the same time. any advice would be great, as the first-time setup is always the toughest

Cgminer does not do cpu mining by default you need to build the program yourself with it enabled and I do not think scrypt is an option you want poolers cpuminer for litecoin also you are using one of the least useful cards when trying to mine, Nvidia sucks at this stuff.
