Title: Mining with GMA HD? Post by: JA37 on March 05, 2011, 11:13:37 AM Hi.
I have a laptop with Intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD installed. Is it possible to use this for mining? A cpu-miner on this machine does about 4 Mhash/s. I assume GMA would do better than that. I've searched the forum but not seen anything about it. Title: Re: Mining with GMA HD?

Post by: Quantumboredom on March 05, 2011, 04:32:52 PM I had no idea Intel had released (beta) drivers with OpenCL support, and I even try to keep myself informed since I use OpenCL myself. Apparently Intel didn't release said drivers with much fanfare, I can't even find any information about it when searching.
Sorry for the misinformation though. Guess it is possible, but unlikely to be very effective. Title: Re: Mining with GMA HD? Post by: khal on March 05, 2011, 06:35:52 PM I found that recently, but only cpu support for now :

For Intel graphics, as stated above, the performance is not likely to be good, almost to the point of making it not worth the effort. |
