I understand that GPGPU mining s/ware is very demanding on GPUs, but I want to know why my CPU is being used 100%. It's because OpenCL 2.2 and higher is broken if you have more than 1 GPU. Mining on 3 GPUs my CPU is sitting at 40% (5970 and GTX460) but I only mine full time on the 5970 now, the 460 is wasteful. With this, I sit at 30% Core i7 920 @ 4200 Mhz |

need help w/ performance phoenix.exe PLATFORM=1 DEVICE=0 -u http://xxx@gmail.com:xxx@deepbit.net:8332 -k poclbm VECTORS BFI_INT AGGRESSION=8 WORKSIZE=256 I'm maxing out at 290 Mhash/s where as poclbm was doing 290-305... I tried increasing aggression but my pc locks up instantly. poclbm also crashes my system but i think it was heat related the 1 time it happened, im still testing Try dropping the worksize to 128 ? What card? 5970 @ 800Mhz, I tried 128, it was slower |

no point for me, that's slower
fastest was poclbm with some nice flags and I'm golden
the crash was most likely GPUz as I tried it again for a 5th time and right after opening GPUz I crashed
been running for half hour now while gaming no crashes at all.

Found the problem
I open GPUz while i had catalyst open on overdrive page and it crashes consistently

Same, 11.4 has been working for me, and I have a 850w 80+ Gold PSU. I game and benchmark, so I see no reason why the PSU or drivers would be the problem.
Any way to throttle the rate at which the gpu mines? Also should I do pooled mining or solo mining?
well i never tested the gpu really.... i just bought it and started mining on it... i have another gpu in my system (gtx 460) that i'm using for gaming only lol |

Both the 6990 and 5970 guys seem to have failing or insufficient power supply problems.
just got the card, just installed catalyst 11.4 i have a 1000 W corsair HX 1000 been using it for a while. rock solid |

Right now, I'm using
start /DC:\bitcoin\poclbm poclbm.exe --user=username --pass=pw --device=0 -v -w 256
start /DC:\bitcoin\poclbm poclbm.exe --user=username --pass=pw --device=1 -v -w 256
with my username and pw the same as the .conf file. And my cooling is fine, i've got at least 15 fans, (I game a whole lot.) It's just weird that the batch file runs fine and mines fine when I don't have stuff open. Is there maybe a way to throttle the gpu? And how do you know the gpu is mining for your address?
I just got a 5970 (dual gpu) having the same problem too poclbm.exe --platform 1 -d0 --host=deepbit.net --port=8332 --user=xx@gmail.com --pass=xx -v -w 128 and -d1 too I'm having a problem with it locking up my pc after a few minutes |

Wrong platform or more than one OpenCL platforms found, use --platform to select one of the following - NVIDIA CUDA
[1] AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing
I'm told to fix this I need to add a --platform tag to my startup command and nobody replied to another thread after asking the question so I'm hoping to get my miner back up and running ASAP. Its been a couple of hours already

I have GTX 460 as a primary adapter for games/deskto
I got a 5970 Radeon for purpose of mining, made it a secondary GPU, got drivers working and all
Using GUI miner (thoguht it would be easy). its not seeing the Radeon.. only sees my GTX 460
I have a display plugged into both cards
Help?

Ok I have a 5970 (dual gpu) card as a secondary, GTX 460 (for games) as primary adapter
I want to mine on both GPU for 5970
rpcminer-opencl.exe -url=http://deepbit.net:8332 -user=XXX@gmail.com -password=XXX-gpu
I have not tested it at all, how would I get this going on both GPUs for a secondary card?

Okay so I just got into this whole bitcoin scene... I got a couple Q's after my first few days
1: I notice all BTC so far is stored either in balance on my pool miner site (deepbit.net) or on my PC client.
Q: Lets say my computer HDD crashes/dies or my PC is stolen. Is this like losing my wallet with cash in it? Or can I retrieve those BTC?
2: Is there some kind of form of redundancy in the event there's a problem with my client for protecting my BTC?
3:I received two payments (one a donation, one a payment from deepbit.net)... both have a number/unconfirmed. The numbers are changing. I haven't yet found in the WiKi what is happening here.
4: if I copy/move the directory of bitcoin to another PC, is all info transferred?
Thank you for your time to answer my questions!

Saw the guide there and that's what got me started I'm contemplating building a mining rig right now with some extra cash... 3-4 5870's on a cheap cpu can be had for about a grand |

Hmm... this seems like it would be more worth while since getting paid per share is kinda... low.. also my slow GPU isn't really doing shares all that fast heh On average Proportional will give you 7% more than PPS. But it depends on pool's luck. At this moment the luck is lower than usual, so you'll get more with PPS. Ah okay that makes sense, luck. I was looking for some kind of formula LOL I might say on PPS for a day, switch to proportional next and see how it goes? I think Proportional would be best tho since its based on divided work. Also; how would this work... if I wanna pause mining, say to sleep (cus I cant sleep with rig in its current state, using backup, noisy card) or to play a game..... do I just close the mining window and re-open when I'm ready? does this hurt anything per-se? I know its going to stop production, but does it discard whatever I'm working on, or save it to continue later? |

So with proportional, I find a 50BTC block, i get paid ~40 something less a fee? How did I get 0.01 over the span of 1 hour then?
with pay per share, its pretty cut and dry. I just don't understand how proportion is working
When pool finds a block, it's divided propotionally to all the participants. Hmm... this seems like it would be more worth while since getting paid per share is kinda... low.. also my slow GPU isn't really doing shares all that fast heh |

okay so I switched to a Cuda miner and it boosted to 60khash/s.... but I still don't understand how PPS versus proportional works... is there a wiki detailing this? I wanna find out which is better for BTC production!
It's on the main page. I'll add the description on the registration page too... anyone know what the whole "found hash!" thing that keeps poping in my CMD window is? I only started seeing it when I swithched to Cuda based RPC miner from poclbm It means that you found a share. poclbm says "accepted" in this case. Ah okay thank you. Answered both of my questions!

....fail, I should have said 60Mhash/s

edit: different question
the client reports 60Mhash/s but the site, deepbit.net, is now reporting a significantly less average hash/s
any idea for this?
