Title: Does higher difficulty = lower Mhash/sec? Post by: Tamerz on June 15, 2011, 04:11:10 AM My two cards were doing about 109 Mhash/sec but now are only doing around 83 Mhash/sec. Is this due to difficulty level, or should I be looking at something specific? Possibly drivers etc?
Thanks. Title: Re: Does higher difficulty = lower Mhash/sec? Post by: MoonShadow on June 15, 2011, 04:19:23 AM No, your computer's hashing rate should be fairly even. The difficulty has no bearing on your personal computer.

The difficulty has no bearing on your personal computer. That is what I figured, thanks for confirming. I remember updating the NVIDIA drivers recently. I just downgraded and it went right back to 109. Boy, they are sure missing the boat with this BitCoin mining thing. Title: Re: Does higher difficulty = lower Mhash/sec?

Miners are making much more profit than two months ago, despite the difficulty change...right? Title: Re: Does higher difficulty = lower Mhash/sec? Post by: spyjai on June 15, 2011, 07:05:14 AM Hashing difficulty does not always correlate with price of bitcoins.. as seen from the recent crash. But I think the long term trend of bitcoins is upwards with more and more mainstream exposure. The most important thing is gaining exposure, this encourages goods and services and start dealing with bitcoins, which then creates a bigger economy. Right now for all we know, the market is just being manipulated by speculators.
