Title: GPU mining needs a new ATI card? Post by: holgero on June 19, 2011, 11:58:40 PM Hi,
if I understand what's on the wiki correctly, it is not possible to use an ATI "Radeon HD 3650" card for mining, right? Best regards, holgero. Title: Re: GPU mining needs a new ATI card? Post by: chippy on June 20, 2011, 12:08:40 AM That is correct, since that series (ATI HD 3000) does not support OpenCL at all.
Pick something from that "Mining hardware comparison" that has a big number in the Mhash/s column. Also look for a small number on the Watts column if you want to save electricity and CO2 https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison) Title: Re: GPU mining needs a new ATI card?

And buying a new one just for mining currently doesn't seem too profitable. See http://bitcoinx.com/profit/ (http://bitcoinx.com/profit/) to calculate costs and income. My ~700MHash/s give me ~0.4BTC/day. This is currently less than 3$ per day. This is roughly the same amount of money my rig consumes in electricity. I am lucky not to pay for this electriciy but I cannot scale up as this "free" electricity is part of a "fair use" deal and I guess I am already stretching the deal a bit.
