Title: Problems with GPU Mining. Post by: valkuma on June 23, 2011, 12:22:05 AM Hey guys. New to bitcoins. I find the whole thing amazing + awesome + etc etc etc...
The only problem is, my crappy processor gets 3.5 mh/s and id REALLY Like to use my GPU to help out... problem is , every time i run Phoenix or Diablo it crashes my display driver and nothing gets done. Any ideas? Im running an Nvidia 8500m. The specific errors are... Phoenix:unhandled error traceback... file threading.pyc line 504 in boootstrap file threading.pyc line 532 in bootstrap inner threading.py line 484 in run --exception caught here--- twisted/python/threadpool.pyc line 207 in worker twisted/python/context.pyc line 118 in callwithcontext kernels/poclbm/__init__.py line 392 in minethread pyopencl.logicerror: clenqueuereadbuffer failed: invalid command queue DiabloMiner: way too much spam on this. Lots of "failed to queue read buffer error -1 and -36. Title: Re: Problems with GPU Mining. Post by: BinaryMage on June 23, 2011, 12:28:05 AM Hey guys. New to bitcoins.

Lots of "failed to queue read buffer error -1 and -36. Um, there is no 8500M. (see here (https://bitcointalk.org/annoyance.php)) Maybe you're running an 8400M or 8600M?

My bad, I definitely meant the 8400M Title: Re: Problems with GPU Mining. Post by: BinaryMage on June 23, 2011, 12:33:26 AM My bad, I definitely meant the 8400M It's all good. I don't know why Phoenix would be crashing. Try using GUIMiner, get it here (https://bitcointalk.org/annoyance.php). Title: Re: Problems with GPU Mining. Post by: valkuma on June 23, 2011, 12:38:07 AM I've used GUIMiner. Tried using the OpenCL? default miner and it gives me the same mh/s, so i'm thinking the GPU part of it isnt activating. I tried a CUDA miner and it completely freezes my computer after a bit, and corrupts my bitcoin install at the same time =(

Title: Re: Problems with GPU Mining. Post by: valkuma on June 23, 2011, 08:10:22 AM Im pretty sure my video card should be going above 1.4 mh/s...which is what leads me to believe its not running. any ideas?
Title: Re: Problems with GPU Mining. Post by: dgtlmrln on June 23, 2011, 08:33:48 AM Well, according to http://bitminer.info/ (http://bitminer.info/), the 8400 GS only gets about 2 MH/s...
NVidia cards really aren't the best mining tools I'm afraid :/ |
