Title: Mining with AMD RADEON HD 7500 Series
Post by: fuW19dxlim16 on February 14, 2013, 09:58:43 PM
Hi guys !
So I'm trying to mine with my AMD RADEON HD 7500 Series, but I only get 80MH/s
I know it's not a very good GPU, but do you know if it's normal ?
I think something is wrong with my config, but I can't figure out what's the problem...

I'm using cgminer 2.10.5, and I put the engine clock to the maximum (675 MHz)
I tried to overclock it more using ASUS GPU Tweak, but it makes it crash (not my computer, just the display).

I also tried updating the driver, but then I get messed up colors on my screen.

I made many google researchs, but didn't find anything helpful...

So do you guys have an idea before ASICS comes and makes GPU mining useless :D ?

Thanks

HD 7500?

Please don't try to mine on your laptop. It'll only kill your laptop. These things are not designed to be run at 100% all day every day.

It's on a desktop computer.
The computer is good, the only weak point is that GPU.
I'm trying to get the best out of it (but I don't expect to really make profits, it's more experimentation).

EDIT : Here are the GPU details :

I was thinking about buying one of these for litecoin or rucoin mining. Any input?

It appears that after un-installing/re-installing the drivers, the name of the GPU is AMD RADEON HD 7570.
Performances hasn't changed...

@milly6 : I don't know anything about LiteCoin mining, the only thing I can tell you is that I get 80MH/s for BTC mining.

OK, thanks Gabi, at least I won't be wasting more time in trying to get more of it.

Even with high end cards GPU mining is not exactly profitable in these days

Better get an ASIC if you are serious about mining

As I already said, I'm not really hoping for any profit from my GPU, I just like bitcoins and want to participate with what I already have.
And I am not paying right now for an ASIC which will get shipped god-knows-when without any guarantee of profitability. (In fact I would like, but I haven't enough money to waste)

Thanks guys, that's all I wanted to know.
