Title: Setting up my rig for mining. GPU questions. Post by: bitjet on February 14, 2011, 09:19:14 PM Current specs:
win7 Intel i5 3gb ram 1tb+ space I currently have a gforce 7600. Im going to upgrade to a Radeon 5870. What sort of return (block/week) should I expect on the 5870? Can I run cpu in pool as well without degrading my gpu mining performance? Last but no least, this is the card I am eyeballing. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814103084&cm_re=5870-_-14-103-084-_-Product Thoughts? Should i go with another brand? Thank you! Title: Re: Setting up my rig for mining. GPU questions. Post by: dingus on February 14, 2011, 09:26:21 PM http://www.alloscomp.com/bitcoin/calculator.php
5870 = ~325 million hashes per second. input that into the calculator. Title: Re: Setting up my rig for mining. GPU questions.

I was under the impression it would be a bit faster. hmm Title: Re: Setting up my rig for mining. GPU questions. Post by: [Tycho] on February 15, 2011, 08:00:57 AM What sort of return (block/week) should I expect on the 5870? 11 BTC per day in pool before next difficulty step (expected in 3-5 days). Then 30% less.Can I run cpu in pool as well without degrading my gpu mining performance? There is no point in doing so. Overclocking 5870 just a 1-3% will be more noticeable than all your CPU power.5870 crunches at 320-350 Mh/s depending on core frequency and your CPU will give only 2.4-4.5 Mh/s.

Im actually getting 10-11mh/s on my cpu. Title: Re: Setting up my rig for mining. GPU questions. Post by: Dude65535 on February 15, 2011, 02:54:29 PM I run a cpu miner on my phenom X6 at that same time as my gpu miner on my 5770. I have not seen it causing any slow downs in my gpu miner and my cpu does about 17Mhashs/s so it is worth while for me.

Post by: kiba on February 17, 2011, 05:19:51 PM First, why aren't you all backing up your wallet data, when it changes, along with other pertinent data, on shutdown and startup, to a flash drive? They're cheap and can hold gobs of data Why do you assume that we do not back up our wallet? |
