Title: Hello
Post by: stormio on November 25, 2013, 09:32:55 PM
Just wanted to say 'hi' am new to the bitcoin world but finding it very interesting. Having a dabble at mining with my gpu for now while I research a little more.
Only managing to get my gpu up to 65% which is around 120Mhash/s, any ideas how i can increase this please? its a gtx770

Many Thanks

Certainly does. Especially the whole requirement to type several sentences. I mean you'd think some people might abuse that by typing replies that aren't even related to the subject just to get past it! Hopefully people don't do that.

You aren't going to earn any big amounts anyway.

GPU mining is not good for bitcoin because of ASIC miners... you probably have better luck with litecoin or other non ASIC mineable currency.

NVidia cards suck at mining, but you could try mining with a different miner program.

It's because you're new. It'll decrease as your activity increases.

i'm currently mining with GUIminer and my card is nice and stable with no heat issues whatsoever, got a couple of block erupters in the mail so think I will leave things as they are till I get them up and running then its goodbye to gpu mining altogether and hello full on pcgaming again lol
Really hope it decreases quickly Jacce, and thx all for the replies and advice.
