Title: Nvidia 9600GS OpenCL Device Post by: AllMiner on June 12, 2011, 06:02:11 AM Hi I have an Nvidia 9600GS graphics card and I was wanting to know if there was an OpenCL device for this card? I appreciate your help. Thanks.

Ok so Nvidia's aren't very good for mining? And is CUDA the only option for Nvidia users? Thanks.

Have a look at this chart https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison You'd be pushing 10mh/s with that card. At that rate it would take over a month to generate one BTC.

Nvidia = CUDA = better at vector math, very good at matrix manipulation, requires 3 instructions per cycle for integer math ATI = openCL = integer math = exactly what you need to calculate sha256 hashes (bitcoin blocks), does integer math in 1 instruction per cycle edit: oops forgot the link https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Why_a_GPU_mines_faster_than_a_CPU#Why_are_AMD_GPUs_faster_than_Nvidia_GPUs?
