Title: GPU-Mining with Ufasoft miner Post by: int_main on June 18, 2011, 11:26:41 AM Hello everyone,
According to this article (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Ufasoft_miner), the Ufasoft miner is supporting GPU-Mining through the CAL-API. I've got a HD 3850 and since it doesn't support OpenCL, I thought this would be an option to get my first BTC. But for some reason the miner won't find my GPU. No matter if i deactivate the use of a GPU with the "-g no" parameter, I always get the same amount of Mhash/s. Installing the ATI Stream SDK 1.4 (http://developer.amd.com/archive/gpu/ATIStreamSDKv1.4Beta/Pages/default.aspx) didn't change anything as well. Does anyone have the same problem or knows how to fix this?

Seems like I shouldn't keep my hopes up turning my system into a small mining rig. :(

Title: Re: GPU-Mining with Ufasoft miner Post by: int_main on June 18, 2011, 12:41:37 PM I'm doing that already while using my computer for non resource intensive tasks and it yields about 8.5 Mhash/s. Not enough to cover the electricity cost, but at least my CPU has something to do now when I'm browsing the internet. :P
