Title: How to mine Scrypt coins with Intel HD 4000?
Post by: Ultimist on January 31, 2014, 02:39:30 PM
My i7-3770K has the Intel HD 4000 integrated graphics, and I'd like to see if there is a way to use it for mining. For gaming i use an Nvidia GTX 670. Experimented with cgminer, etc., but can't seem to get them to recognize the HD 4000 even though I have it enabled. Do I have to have a monitor hooked up to it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I can't seem to find definitive info about this.

Thanks, but that is not accurate information. I know several people who successfully mine using the HD 4000. I just have lost touch with them and can't get back in contact with them, so I was hoping someone here would know the ropes...

Just don't. Think of our environment.

Just don't. Think of our environment.

and you think we can save our environment?  You must be very naive.

I have three words for you: exponential population growth

For OP:  Just find as many H4000 machines you can find.  If you don't pay for electricity, run them all.
Ask all your friends to do the same.

Save environment?  LOL...

Download http://software.intel.com/en-us/vcsource/tools/opencl-sdk I have no clue if those are enough for making it work though.

That's a little ambitious... maybe .01 cents...

Well, I knew it was possible, but at the abysmal hashrates it offers, forget it...

Yeah,trading will offer returns far greater than mining with that. But I think any OpenCL miner should work.

don't be silly, use your cpu to mine cpu coins, ie quark, memorycoin, metiscoin, primecoin, pts. and they can be more profitable than gpu coins

Well, I was just hoping the GPU on my i7 could do something worthwhile, but evidently not, lol.

Oh well, now I know that Intel's on-board GPU's generally suck.
