Title: Extra Flags in GUI Miner for AMD Radeon HD 7850
Post by: explosivefox on January 27, 2013, 01:51:10 AM
Hey, I'm kind of a noob at mining. What extra flags (if any) should I use in GUI Miner for the AMD Radeon HD 7850? Thanks.

I know that this does not answer your question, but I am going to say it before the others do. ASIC is going to make your miner non profitable. If profit is your goal you are going about it wrong.

What he said, your card will only generate 200-300Mh/s at best, the new ASICs will generate 4.5GH/s or billion hashes for about the same price as that card at the fraction of the electricity cost. You will most likely only make .03 to .05 bitcoins a day if in a pool.

If you're doing it for fun then you can use these:

Aggression=11 GPU=950 MEM=800 don't know if these work in guiminer but they work in CGminer.

Thanks guys! I know ASIC is going to make casual mining obsolete and my gaming rig is just going to supplement the Jalapeno i get :D.

AMD and ATI GPUs are much better than NVIDIA.

AMD CPUs are generally a bit better than Intels and other brands for the price.
