Title: A lil Issue Post by: Killer Pie on July 05, 2011, 06:58:05 PM When looking into Bitcoins I decided to start, shortly after I heard about mining. So I thought since I have a top end computer I might as well try it.
My computer costed me over £600, I have an ATI 5770 Vapour-X, as well as a quad core AMD. The thing that worries me is the fact that it is running at 100-200Khash/s on an OpenCL miner and from what I see this is very VERY low. Also I know for a fact it is running on my graphics card due to the fact that when I run it my graphics card activity goes from 0%-100%.... Any help would be very nice! EDIT: I forgot to mention I was/am using Deepbit pay-per-share system. Title: Re: A lil Issue Post by: smokie128 on July 05, 2011, 07:36:51 PM What miner are you using?
Title: Re: A lil Issue Post by: Killer Pie on July 05, 2011, 07:45:46 PM What miner are you using? Python OpenCL miner. poclbm_py2exe_20110627 I have also setup Python and OpenCL It also seems I have the same problem on all my operating systems, Windows 7, Linux Mint and Linux and another Linux based server OS. I also run the absolute minimum to let the miner use 100% (roughly) of the GPU. Title: Re: A lil Issue Post by: bb on July 05, 2011, 08:04:57 PM How do you display how much of the GPU is used?
Title: Re: A lil Issue Post by: Duffman on July 05, 2011, 08:07:32 PM How do you display how much of the GPU is used? MSI Afterburner can tell youOP, try phoenix and see if it gets better.

Yes, it can, but we need to know what method he is using.? ;p It sounds like either it is just on the cpu or there is some other configuration issue at work here. And are you certain its 100-200Khash and not Mhash? There are other things we should check, the most basic of which would be do you have all of the current blocks loaded? I.e have either the bitcoin client running and up to the current block or bitcoind running when you go to mine? Title: Re: A lil Issue Post by: Killer Pie on July 05, 2011, 08:37:26 PM I'll just answer all the questions chronologically.

What settings have you tried with the miners? agression, etc?
And I believed you, but even the gpu miners use some resources on atleast one cpu core to function. My thinking with the extremely low 'K'hash you posted was that it was just on the cpu core and somhow did not load up the gpu. shrug, not likely but nither are your numbers.
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison A stock 5770 without much tweaking mines at 153Mhash up to about 182Mhash before some OC'ing is required.
Probably not important in what we are troubleshooting but you do know what the bitcloin client is obvisouly? Do you leave it or bitcoind running? [/list] Title: Re: A lil Issue Post by: Killer Pie on July 05, 2011, 10:27:59 PM No, why?
Should I? When running it I found no differance to when not running it. Title: Re: A lil Issue Post by: zybron on July 05, 2011, 10:41:02 PM See here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison
A 5770 tops out at 240 with Phoenix and quite a bit of tweaking, the best poclbm rate is just over 200. If you're getting around 200 with your card, sounds about right to me.

Title: Re: A lil Issue Post by: zybron on July 05, 2011, 10:55:52 PM Yeah, it takes at least 2 and often many more than that to get anywhere over 1Ghash/s. A single 6990 can get around 750, but that's about as close as it gets.
