Are there any flags that will reduce desktop lag when running a miner? I have a 5970 running 24x7 but its running on the machine I use to play games on. Some games even cause the PC to bluescreen if I launch them while the miners are running. In general tho, the desktop is laggy. Is there anything I can do?

yep, even $35 Sempron 140 is enough, but Athlon II 220 is only $6 more expensive -)

no luck

Yes, merchants LOVE the idea of having to change the price of their merchandise every 10 minutes because of massive parabolic price fluctuations.  Nothing is better than having to renegotiate with a customer over how the intial payment they sent now won't even cover the shipping to send the item out.

An army of trolls, sure!

Sorry for my ignorance nazgulnarsil but what is a driver sweeper?

Bitcoin is over, This whole thing essentially proves to retailers that bitcoin can never be stable enough for them to reliably turn a profit from selling things with it. Unlike a dollar, or pound, or yen, it's value fluctuates far too wildly for it to be considered anyway near stable enough for real transactions.

hmm, it is now working in 4 way crossfire, i assume it will work with no crossfire if i use a monitor on each graphics card.

one of my cards fan has just died though so im one down.


i have fixed one of my problems, i think it was user error as you cant click a card into the bottom slot with any usb or front panel, or fan plugged in.

the other problem is overclocking, i cannot work out how to do it with more than one card.

What's wrong with GigabyteCoin???

Go buy US Treasury bonds.  Invest in real money.  Right?

Alternatively, you can just ignore bitcoin, because it's very good at destroying itself.

It will stop dropping June 31st. I guarantee it.
