thats where these RAdeons always fail. Always a patch, always an update...
That's where you fail.

Something against updates? Lol
Thats where they fail. End user wants to put the card into a computer and not to worry. Thats impossible with Ati, they have good cards, but shit drivers, thats why most of gamers go for Nvidia. Not to mention constant lagging in crossfire...
Umm you can totally get an AMD GPU and set-it-and-forget-it. My dad's media PC has an A8 APU, and he never bothers with driver updates or anything like that.

OTOH, I update my AMD GPU drivers whenever they come out, which is about every month or two. And you know what? Nvidia is constantly releasing drivers at a similar pace, so idk what you're bitching about.

You wanna complain about micro stutter in CF? Well things have gotten a lot better since they started using GCN architecture in the 7xxx cards. No multi-GPU setup is perfect (including Nvidia), but it's not bad enough to bitch about.
Nvidia releases drivers but mostly its cosmetic things. AMD (Ati) is not able to fix major issues with games. As far as i know even WoW is still not working perfectly, and its a 10mil player game. It took them 2 months to make it even work in DirectX 11 correctly. There is much more of this crap from AMD... Remember, I am only talking about gaming. For other purposes, it works, but since the majority of 250 euro + buyers are gamers, its a fail. Thats why in that department, nvidia has 80% of the sales in 2012
Weird, i play everything with ATI and it work perfectly. And the latest drivers improved the performance of pretty much everything by a nice amount. On POEM@home ati cards kickassed nvidia from the top.

I don't have all these problems you "report".
And no, nvidia drivers are NOT cosmetic things.

Not bad! An updated version would be useful in explaining probably

175MH/s seems ok, you might be able to squeeze out a bit more by overclocking the GPU,
the wiki lists results from 170MH/s up to 300MH/s,
but you should keep an eye on the temperature if you do.

Alright, thanks.

Now just to figure out why it says Barts...
Because it is its name?  Roll Eyes Seriously, you should know what you have!

I certainly never named it Barts!
Checked in Everest to see the temperature but it is nowhere to be found, although I did find out it was named Barts. Never liked the Catalyst Control Center because I can't be sure if I got the drivers installed correctly or not. I just get the CCC and then I assume everything is fine. Anyone familiar with ati while I'm here?
I would like to see the temperature.
It is the name of your GPU. Yes, Barts.

Quote
I tried using the device (0) Barts and it yields 175 Mhash/s, would this correlate to what my 6850 would yield? Maybe it's just mislabeled (somehow?).
Everything is working perfectly. Your driver are fine, no problem. You are mining with your GPU. Yes, 175 is fine for a 6850.

Will you become rich? No, GPU mining is dead, either get an ASIC or well, it is more or less wasted time...
1904  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Potential fix for Apple Bitcoin ban on: February 12, 2013, 12:53:56 PM
The problem is not me using Apple products (I do), but the real problem is that my customers use Apple products.  And guess what?  They can pay with a credit card or Paypal or any number of other payment methods with their devices.

So, it is hurting bitcoin, not Apple.  Every single person using an iPhone or IPad buying something online is someone not using bitcoins to make that same purchase.

That means a lot to people who sell things online, and it is really their support that bitcoin needs, not the other way around.
Oh c'mon, people with apple products are negligible. They are a minority.

This is a survival board. These guys are going to be extremely uncomfortable with the idea that Bitcoin is not tangible.
Nonsense, if they really are survivals, they should be very happy once they discover the concept of brainwallet! It isn't exactly useful to have gold if it get stolen  Smiley

It is not hard to avoid apple today, other products are cheaper and are better...
1909  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Potential fix for Apple Bitcoin ban on: February 11, 2013, 10:32:23 PM
My guess is that within 5 years or less, Apple will have decisively lost the smartphone wars and we won't care too much if they decide to shoot themselves in the foot by banning Bitcoin apps.

Nice graph, but it is so old.

Protip: you can download the new client now, in general subforum there is the thread about the release candidate version 

And yes it is much much faster.

This said, for daily use multibit or electrum are what you want.

1917  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Which mining pool and why? on: February 10, 2013, 11:37:33 PM
Pretty much every other pool is better, since deepbit fees are so high.

This said, yes, slush is a good pool. But there are other ones good too. And then there is p2pool, a bit hard to setup but it is the best one

There is free money here
Bad idea in my opinion, this only reinforce the idea that bitcoin is not "real money" (because no one will give you real money for a comment)

i was planning on buying 10 at once though and 150€ real euros is a 150€ more than a theoretical 17.4€ for each.
and besides, im open to negotiations
Lol, it is not "theoretical"
