Title: Hello Everyone..and just a quick question.... Post by: Bibbsy1978 on March 19, 2013, 08:53:55 AM Would just like to say a Big Hello to everyone to begin with ;D
I was wondering if anyone could give me a little bit of advice please?? I have been using BTC for quite some time now, but i am relatively new to the whole mining thing.. I have a Nvidia GTX 650ti graphics card, and have been mining with it using the GUIMiner for a couple of weeks now. However, i am only hashing at around 52-53Mhash/s. I also no about ATI cards being better and faster, however, the 650ti is the card i bought......anyway onto the the original question..lol..(sorry for going on..lol).. Is there any other mining programs out there that i could use to mine faster using the card i have??, but obviously have to work in the slush pool.. Thanks for taking the time to read this, and any help of anyone would be fabulous!! Bibbs Title: Re: Hello Everyone..and just a quick question....

I was really just after a miner that would let me mine faster than the 52-53Mhash/s i am currently mining at using the GUIMiner. Its just that i have been told there are CUDA miners specific for nvidia cards...and that the GUIMiner although works with my nvidia card is better with ATI cards As i say, still kind of new to the Mining part of the BTC world, so apologies if i'm not making much sense..lol Regards Bibbs Title: Re: Hello Everyone..and just a quick question.... Post by: TomRado on March 19, 2013, 09:16:02 AM Dit you check https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison)? While it doesn't show your card, you seem to be in the right ballpark.
Also check http://www.alloscomp.com/bitcoin/calculator (http://www.alloscomp.com/bitcoin/calculator). You should get around .27 cent per day mining. Running the card where i live would cost me around 0.1kw * 24h * .2dollar ~ .48$. Better get a job i'd say ;) Title: Re: Hello Everyone..and just a quick question.... Post by: Bibbsy1978 on March 19, 2013, 09:22:14 AM lol..i actually do have a job......I co-run a game server hosting company...
So as i say...my PC is on and online 24/7 I buy a lot of BTC's for cash....this is just a little extra.... But thanks for the links, i'll have a look into it further Bibbs Title: Re: Hello Everyone..and just a quick question.... Post by: Dreaser on March 19, 2013, 09:22:56 AM yeah bitcoin mining on your home PC is not that profitable anymore, i wouldn't be expecting to mine loads of bitcoin unless you have a dedicated rig, or better yet wait for ASIC mining hardware check out butterflylabs or avalon they should be shipping products soon
