Title: Is this an error?
Post by: thebushwookie on July 28, 2011, 05:25:46 PM
So i started up GUI Miner.exe, ran a CUDA miner. My friend got 350Mhash/s off his HD6890

I have a GTX460 and i got this:

Then i restarted and im getting about 28 Mhash/s. Why so low and how can i get Ghash/s again?

hahahaahah WOW. thats a massive error. That 28 mh/s is correct, nVidias pretty much suck at mining. Some pools aren't even at 50gh/s.

Sorry :)

I'd say it was a glitch in the hash reporting in GUIminer rather than you getting 50 odd Ghash/s

It'll teach you for dividing by zero. :)

The lower number is likely correct.... NVIDIA GPUs are not designed to be viable for bitmining - you will pay more in electric (by allot) then you will ever make with it.  :P

Yea this is a crazy error. A similar thing happened to my friend when he tried to do that. But i cant remember how he fixed it. I'll ask him

OT: Radeon 6890 (mentioned by the OP)? I thought those had been only a rumor. AFAIK they were never launched/sold.

An error, unless the aliens have messed with your card to help contact their mothership....

I have a GT430, and I can confirm, that's and error, usually when CUDA drops to 0% GPU usage, and still shows as working...
Forget nVidia, ATI/AMD FTW!

See this link for the (current) AMD cards: http://www.amd.com/us/products/desktop/graphics/amd-radeon-hd-6000/hd-6990/Pages/amd-radeon-hd-6990-overview.aspx

Right now there's only rumors about the 6890 and no actual specs or release dates.

Yea definitely an error. Happened to me yesterday when mining on slush.  It said like 1200gh/s for me

I have gotten about the same error before......Just like with everything else, if it seems too good to be true, it most likely is....LOL
