Title: DirectCompute miner ? Post by: Basiley on May 25, 2011, 08:36:58 PM someone told me that's some things ~4x easier/faster in DC 5.x than in OpenCL 1.1, "thanks" to absence of [forgot name]something ?
p.s. sorry for pointless/obscure question, but how can it be true and if, how its bitcoin-related/helpful ? Title: Re: DirectCompute miner ?
