Title: Help me... minergate software says no GPU available
Post by: joe50 on July 19, 2016, 03:22:19 PM
I just bought a desktop system with Radeon HD 5450 GPU Card

after installation of minergate software, it says no GPU available. so only CPU mining available.
i want to mine eth. or other cryptonotes with GPU Card.
i don't if the new Radeon HD 5450 i bought is not GPU or cannot mine with minergate or minergate disable GPU mining?

Help me figure it out.

You can probably get better answers if the question is posted in the altcoins forum.

I don't think there are many coins to mine with that old card  :(

Most altcoins need a 7800 or higher (newer) card  ;)

Here's a few lists of some cards that are worth mining with:

There are MANY different mining software's for all the different coins,so get educated on which coins use which software  ;)

And video drivers differ from card to card as to which driver gets the most hashrate for a particular coin..............

STUDY in these two sections :

You got ALOT of learning to do  :D

You might also check the minergate website, go to their FAQ section to see their list of supported hardware. I believe all altcoin-mining software should have upgraded to GPU mining by now.

Help me figure it out.

What did you pay for this system?

What is the CPU?

What windows do you use?

I will not tell you get a good gpu  and mine eth coin with Claymore miner.

Since I have not a clue how old and out of date the rest of the pc is.

Right now just list the cpu
The ram
The windows
 the power supply
The motherboard.

We know the gpu is too weak to do this work.
We do not know any other info.
