GPU mining is obsolete or about to be. Why are you going into mining with GPU now?

That makes sense, just watch out with the electric bill. Having the GPU idle or at 99% makes a big difference on how much it consumes. Make the numbers and be sure you are making more money than you are paying.

I have the same problem when using guiminer with deepbit and a 7870.

cgminer works fine though - averaging 415 Mh/s
