Title: Mining with CPU Post by: Mikrouwel on June 12, 2011, 01:57:26 PM Hey Guys,
Is there a program that lets you mine in BTCMine with your CPU and you get decent Mhash/s and you dont have to stop GPU mining? It seems weird that a CPU is more powerful than a GPU yet my 5870 can get 400Mhash/s were my i7 930 @ 4.2Ghz only gets 5Mhash/s :( Thanks Mik Title: Re: Mining with CPU Post by: bcearl on June 12, 2011, 02:00:12 PM It seems weird that a CPU is more powerful than a GPU yet my 5870 can get 400Mhash/s were my i7 930 @ 4.2Ghz only gets 5Mhash/s :( Does it seem weird that an aircraft carrier is more powerful than a car, but a car is way faster on motorways?

They are only made to handle a certain amount of things, but the things that they can handle, they are VERY good at. One of those is hashing.

Good analogy.

Mik 7 at the max. Title: Re: Mining with CPU Post by: Mikrouwel on June 12, 2011, 02:56:03 PM Okay lol not worth it then
Thanks anyway Title: Re: Mining with CPU Post by: batt01 on December 14, 2012, 12:21:50 AM Get a Jalapenp from butterflylabs.

Personally I wouldn't bother. Unless you like PC gaming, getting a GFX card for mining alone is a: a waste of electricity and b: a waste of money as you'll be unlikely to make back the purchase price of the GFX card. (This is all assuming that ASIC's hit sometime in Q1-2 2013) |
