Title: laptop 5870 question Post by: octalforty on June 10, 2011, 09:02:53 AM I'm new to bitcoin mining and i have seen people saying they get 300+ mhash with a radeon 5870. I have a laptop with a radeon 5870, 6gigs of ram, and an 8 core processor and it only pushes 150 mh/s tops using -v -w128 flag. Is there anything I can do to increase my output or is this because its a laptop card.
