Title: AGP cards Post by: redwraith on June 14, 2011, 04:30:22 AM Pardon the stupid question, but I'm having a hard time trying to find the answer in previous posts. I have an AGP ATI Radeon 9200 series card from 2006 or so, I guess you can call it "legacy". From what I've seen, it doesn't look like ANY of the miners utilize AGP cards at all. To me, as a person that doesn't want to fork out $200 or so bucks for OpenCL, but has something that could perform better than a cpu miner, it seems a shame that AGP can't be used in this endeavor. The AMD website made it seem like if you downloaded the SDK I could get a legacy card to recognize OpenCL, but it didn't seem to work. Are AGP cards dinosaurs?

If you haven't started mining yet, don't. Just invest... Title: Re: AGP cards Post by: lessPlastic on June 14, 2011, 04:40:37 AM AGP = No.

You have to buy a new motherboard that supports PCI-Ex,CPU and even a new PSU... |
