Title: APU + discrete question Post by: KKAtan on January 25, 2012, 11:30:06 AM A laptop with Llano APU and 400 shaders.
With additional gpu and 480 shader. Will I be able to mine with all 880 shaders? No guessing, I need to know for sure. Title: Re: APU + discrete question Post by: cuboidal on January 25, 2012, 12:19:33 PM Probably not. OpenCL is restricted to the iGPU only. I don't know for sure, though.

It crashes half of the time when you stop mining.

It crashes half of the time when you stop mining. Just a little curious, does it make unbearable noise when you run bitcoin on both?Are you able to adjust voltage for the discrete?

The fans runs loud, but no other noises. I haven't tried to raise the voltage but the people on those forums have guides on overclocking and overvolting I think.

That heat will not only shorten the life of the APU, it will also damage the fan having to run at full speed. I suggest you reconsider your plan of using a laptop as a mining rig. |
