Title: Mining at Nvidia 8800

Hi!

Can't find enough information, someone tried this? If yes, pls advice what drivers and what mining software is best. Thanks!

go download Guiminer (http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=3878.0) and create a CUDA miner assuming you have drivers new enough to take advantage of CUDA you can get 20-30 mh/s if you're lucky. make sure to pick a decent pool like deepbit or btcguild

The best I got with an 8800 was overclock core to 650 (or 660, cant remember. memory speed didn't seem to affect speeds), guiminer with phoenix miner, poclbm kernel, WORKSIZE=64 AGGRESSION=12

Pushed 33.1 Mhash/sec. Can do higher aggression but you may get idle miner messages.
