Title: Best client for GTX470's?
Post by: Tamerz on May 19, 2011, 04:28:57 PM
Hello, I just started with BitCoin mining and am having a hard time figuring out the best client to use.

I'm running overclocked GTX470's and am looking for the best performing client. Looks like most people here are using AMD cards and the advice leans towards those. Any suggestions on getting the most speed out of my two cards?

I'm also running a i7 960 @ 4 GHz. I'd like to get the most performance out of that as well.

Thanks for the help!

I'm using 'poclbm' which seems to be working well for my 480s, I can't comment on a CPU miner as I haven't bothered with one.

Yeah I tried the CUDA version of RPC miner and got a lower hash/s. m0mchil/poclbm gives me a higher rate. I also use -f 1 -w 256 on my GTX260x216 core.

For the i7 ufasoft's by far.

With rpcminer-4way.exe I was getting ~7 Mh/s with my core-i5 750.
With ufasoft's I'm getting 15.5

After the difficulty jump yesterday though, I turned it off, along with my 8800GT.

For my GTX570,  rpcminer-cuda.exe works best for me, about 112.5 Mh/s.
I tried phoenix and only got 105 Mh/s and it ate up one of my CPU cores as well.

What settings are you using?

With the CUDA miner, no settings actually, just default.
