Title: CPU & GPU mining question
Post by: Tera-Hash on December 31, 2013, 05:32:21 PM
Hi, i have an i7 that i am mining quark, it says 78-80 khash x core, it has 8 so its a total of 640 khash right? i dont understand there so, i got in other pc 2 x 7870 hd that give me in total 750 800 khash mining Litecoin, is the same value? maybe is a noob question but if i mine litecoins with my i7 i will do it in 650 khash close to my dual 7870, or i will get only one core velocity that is 80khash.

Thanks

no. i7 all 8 cores ~ 80 k/hs, or ~10 per core

Ok thanks for the reply but why in the pool dashboard it say 400 - 700 khash?, in the miner it say 80khsh thread 0, 80khash thread 1...2...3....

I dunno, I'm probably wrong then. Anyone?

On litecoin wiki in hardware comparison said this "The speed in kH/s of a single core of a K10-based CPU can roughly be calculated multiplying the clock frequency in GHz by 1.85. "

It saids the speed in KH/h of a single core

that's for amd cpus. yours is an intel. look further down the page...

is there no quark wiki or forum similar?

Yes, well there is only one way to know it, i will go to the office and mine litecoins with my i7.

Yes there is a forum http://forum.qrk.cc/

also if you move this thread to alternative cryptocurrencies, or start a new one there, you might get much more sane replies...

The Quark khashes/second are completely unrelated with Litecoin ones, which also have nothing to do with Bitcoin, Protoshares or Primecoins. Different algorithms present completely unrelated and arbitrary values.
