Title: 4870hushs and Questions Post by: touristas on March 11, 2011, 12:37:32 PM Hi there.Great forum here, have learnt loads of things !
Got a few questions if anyone can help will be much appreciated. Got a 4870toxic(780/1000mhz) and after clocking it abit more(820/500) got 93000khush/s.(using poclbm_py2exe_20110222) Also a quad Q9450 2.66Ghx o/c to 3.2 getting around 5500khash/s (using bitcoin) Are those hush's any good ? I also cant get the batch file i made to start up "poclbm". Pops me up a " cannot find user=" me ".Ive tripple checked reinstalled and still nothing. So i have to run it manual from the cmd prmt. Their i also have to set if im gonna use GPU or CPU in the devises that come up. Thats part one :o I see in my Bitcoin that im generating around 5500khash/s and have been doing so for a day and gone up to the max block atm 113132.From taskmnger i see this is maxing out all 4 cores to 100%. Still "0" transactions .Am i doing something wrong whipping my rig for nothing ?_? poclbm looks like a stress test for my g/card with temps going to 80 celsius !_! (set fan manual to 100% temps not so bad) Are those hush's working/counting with my Bitcoin ? Is it ok to post a site or my batch file commands to see if anyone can see a mistake ? Thank you Title: Re: 4870hushs and Questions Post by: TurdHurdur on March 11, 2011, 12:45:38 PM 4870 "hushs"? Does it run quiet? :P

Does it run quiet? :P When o/c to the max i know it could go it almost flew out the my case 820/1030mhz. Temps when up to 82 celsius(last i saw)and pc when crazy on me and it shut down 4m before i blew myself up. After playing with the clocks i noticed that memory clocks dont affect hush's and left clock around 800/500mhz. stock setting are 750/900 - my toxic is 780/1000. Not a bad "little" card Title: Re: 4870hushs and Questions Post by: phathash on March 11, 2011, 01:35:28 PM Are those hush's any good ? You're doing it wrong.

You'll be generating a lot of heat, and using more power, for very little gain.I see in my Bitcoin that im generating around 5500khash/s and have been doing so for a day and gone up to the max block atm 113132.From taskmnger i see this is maxing out all 4 cores to 100%. The Bitcoin client will only report the CPU miner's hash rate: it won't tell you what the GPU miner is doing.Still "0" transactions .Am i doing something wrong whipping my rig for nothing ?_? At the present rate of difficulty, it'll take your 4870 nearly 41 days on average (http://www.alloscomp.com/bitcoin/calculator.php) to generate one block: I'd recommend you look at joining a mining pool instead of "solo mining". Title: Re: 4870hushs and Questions Post by: touristas on March 11, 2011, 02:05:25 PM Thats what im afraid of.
But what am i doing wrong ? I dont think i've understood the complete way this thing works. Our cpuz/gpuz help solve lets say a "problem". 1 problem = to 1 block = 50bitcoins ? That 1 block is divided to shares and each share you solve = to a "%" of the block. What i havent understood is who pays? I have registered to a few sites that say they pay that % of the block. Where do i input the username i used so they know my pc did it ? Is all that right ? Also can i join to multi mining pools ? 41days !_! - that bad my old 4870 time for a upgrade then as soon as some cash starts flowing my way:) Title: Re: 4870hushs and Questions Post by: touristas on March 11, 2011, 04:45:11 PM Got a 4870toxic(780/1000mhz) and after clocking it abit more(820/500) got 93000khush/s.(using poclbm_py2exe_20110222) 93Mhash/s looks pretty good - compare it with the hardware comparison list (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_Hardware_Comparison), where another miner was getting only 78Mhash/s.Nice to hear that i out ran the rest with the same card !_! :D ;D Also a quad Q9450 2.66Ghx o/c to 3.2 getting around 5500khash/s (using bitcoin) Sounds about right for CPU mining, but my advice would be to turn off CPU mining and just use the 4870.

NEW QUESTION I also got a ageia physics card installed that i forgot :) Is that of any use for this kinda stuff ?_?

But I don't need to let my fan run @ 100%. Tweaked my bios so that it won't get higher than ~80°C. (I guess 45% fan speed). And ~4500khash/s on my Q9450 @ 2.66GHz (no oc) Title: Re: 4870hushs and Questions Post by: touristas on March 17, 2011, 03:31:53 PM Just got my old little 4870 pumping out almost 100Mhash/s !_!
o/c it a bit more - think this is the max i can get GPU 845mhz ;D and at 860 i get a freezzzzze Stock is 750mhz(around 75Mhash) toxic is 780mhz(around 85Mhash) o/c to 820mhz(around 92Mhash) o/c to the max 845 around100Mhash ! <-----had to tweak the fans to keep temps under 72 celcius memory speed underclocked to 200mhz as it does not affect speed at all but helps abit with the temps ! Im sure you can get roughly the same speeds with ur 512mb version Very pleased with my card but still gonna upgrade soon |
