Title: Hello! :D (And hardware question) Post by: mvd7793 on June 13, 2011, 11:21:22 PM Hello bitcoin forum! I want to PM one of your members so I'm making a post here.
I do have a hardware question. I have an ATI Mobility Radeon 4670 in my laptop. Does it work with any GPU miners? (As I don't think it supports OpenCL. DirectX 10.1) Thanks!

Title: Re: Hello! :D (And hardware question) Post by: mvd7793 on June 13, 2011, 11:32:14 PM Aww that's ok. Here's another question.
Looking at MtGox's ticker data returned by the API, it seems in almost every given scenario it's giving a profit based on their rates. Specifically: https://mtgox.com/code/data/ticker.php just returned the following: {"ticker":{"high":24.5,"low":16,"vol":73423,"buy":19.3444,"sell":19.5981,"last":19.3444}} Which (I think) means that a Bitcoin was just bought at the rate of $19.3444->1BTC, and a bitcoin was just sold at a rate of $19.5981->1BTC. As they have a trading API, wouldn't it be possible (and why hasn't someone) written scripts to take advantage of this difference (as it's greater than their .65% fee)? (I just want to make sure I'm not thinking about it wrong.) $19.5981*.0065= 0.12738765 $19.3444 * .0065 = 0.1257386 So theoretically, assuming those rates were held constant, you'd make a (very small) profit by going from 1BTC --> USD --> 1BTC. Is that math correct? Thanks! Sorry for the strange question. Title: Re: Hello! :D (And hardware question) Post by: Kittysox on June 13, 2011, 11:44:14 PM Mobilities actually do support openCL.
Title: Re: Hello! :D (And hardware question) Post by: mvd7793 on June 13, 2011, 11:45:29 PM I found online that ATI cards didn't support it until they supported DirectX11 (I'm 10.1), and OpenCL wasn't supported according to GPU Caps Viewer. Is it a download I need to find on the internet somewhere, or should it just work?

Is it a download I need to find on the internet somewhere, or should it just work? http://developer.amd.com/sdks/AMDAPPSDK/downloads/Pages/default.aspx ATI Mobility Catalyst™ 11.4 Driver Suite 1 is needed for OpenCL Support on mobility apparently... and 10.1 should still work, If not then 4600, and 4800 series wouldn't of supported it. |
