Title: Double GPU mining? Post by: muscles on June 22, 2011, 03:27:25 PM hay d00ds,
I have two pci-e slots and an older GPU that I could put in. Right now I'm running a HD Radeon 6770 for mining at roughly 100Mhash/s but I have another PCI-E slot on my motherboard and an older NVidia card that can mine at around 6Mash/s. Anyone know if its possible to mine on two GPUs at once? Title: Re: Double GPU mining?

Dont get too greedy otherwise your greed will cost you ;) Title: Re: Double GPU mining? Post by: cothoms on June 22, 2011, 03:52:16 PM Yeah, I wouldn't recommend you use the other GPU... 6 MH/s isn't even worth the bother to plug it in. You might want to look at a BTC calculator to see if you will even be profitable with the next difficulty increase, given power costs, A/C, BTC exchange rate, MH/s rate, etc...
Title: Re: Double GPU mining? Post by: muscles on June 22, 2011, 04:53:02 PM Do y'all run CPU mining while you're running GPU mining? I wonder if you're already running a PC hot for mining on your GPU, is it worth it to also run CPU mining?
Title: Re: Double GPU mining? Post by: anthony.selby on June 22, 2011, 05:34:35 PM I don't think it is ... My GPUs run about 72 if I turn CPU mining on my GPUs slow down a little bit (about the 1 to 2 mH that the cpu makes) and the cards heat up to 75
Title: Re: Double GPU mining? Post by: beyond on June 22, 2011, 06:22:41 PM i ran with a gtx465 and two 5830s for a while, no issue other than nvidia and ati drivers dont like each other very much. once it started working it was fine.
also I run cpu mining all the time, easy to get an extra 10-20mh/s on a decent box. Title: Re: Double GPU mining? Post by: muscles on June 22, 2011, 10:29:48 PM thanks for commenting everyone
