Title: Graphics Card Issues. Post by: n00b2.0 on January 26, 2013, 08:27:43 PM I got a brand new graphics card for Christmas;
EVGa GeForce 660 Ti, 2GB DDR5 Memory, 192-bit memory width. But I cant get above 90MH/s with it? Even overclocked, its sitting at 100MH/s. A friends GPU, that is 3 years old, is getting 200-400MH/s? How do I tweek my settings to get the best results? Any ideas? Title: Re: Graphics Card Issues. Post by: russianfool on January 26, 2013, 09:08:17 PM The sad truth is that nVidia cards are just not very good at mining because of their architecture, and AMD cards are. Take a look here. http://m.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforce-gtx-660-ti-benchmark-review,3279-12.html
And don't forget to check your power consumption and electricity costs if you're doing this for profit. Title: Re: Graphics Card Issues. Post by: panda1 on January 26, 2013, 09:10:50 PM https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison
Title: Re: Graphics Card Issues. Post by: n00b2.0 on January 26, 2013, 09:15:02 PM I heard AMD was better (after I bought the card), but I dint think it would be this bad!
Also, it just got worse! Take a look: http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8511/8417118607_356ca9da77.jpg This keeps happening. I have to stop the program, and restart it for it to fix. Sometimes, just stopping the worker, and restarting it works, but not always. Title: Re: Graphics Card Issues. Post by: n00b2.0 on January 26, 2013, 09:18:08 PM My card isnt even listed there. FML. Must be terrible! :'(

Radeon 5830 can be found used for $60 & hash at close to 300 mh/s. Title: Re: Graphics Card Issues. Post by: BitcoinOxygen on January 26, 2013, 09:47:06 PM Nvidia = Bad for mining AMD = Good for mining This is why his older card is performing better than your brand new card.

Any ideas? whats your CPU? maybe you can mine litecoin well Title: Re: Graphics Card Issues. Post by: Andynerd on January 27, 2013, 02:17:00 AM I feel your pain, I have an nvidia as well. I found that GUIMiner especially hates NVIDIA. I've tried diablo, bfg,rpc miner and guiminer. I find that for Nvidia BFGMiner and rpc CUDA Miner work almost the same, though bfg just feels more stable. I am running an nvidia 570 oc to 900 stock voltage runs about 150Mh/s to 175Mh/s.

Cheers! :) whats your CPU? maybe you can mine litecoin well Intel Core 2 Duo. Old enough these days. Its next on my list, along with the motherboard, for an upgrade. Title: Re: Graphics Card Issues.

I must say this also happeneds to me... simply makes it unuseable for me imo... or anyone i think really... unless u sit there all day and check it to start it again. BitMinter has been working wonders for me, but with bitminter, ur stuck with bitminter pool. All i know is that it was easy as fuck to get running and it runs, consistantly... FOREVER! :P I have ATI (im not used to saying AMD... I REFUSE!!!!) :) Title: Re: Graphics Card Issues. Post by: Fiyasko on January 28, 2013, 06:48:02 AM ATi was purchased annd merged with AMD
