 i need help is it possible for me to gpu mine with my nvidia geforce 7100 card?? {very bad idea; you're going to lose money} I disagree with this, I bought a 5870 and started mining with it on March 1st, I've already made up half of the cost of the card. Difficulty is going down soon so it's a pretty clear path to a free HD5870 for me  |

lol bobR you're too much I have so much fun reading your posts thanks. Agreed. This is prime time entertainment, for FREE. |

It could be coil noise, but I haven't heard of anyone getting coil noise from their 5970s before. Maybe it's coming from your PSU or motherboard? |

Doesn't seem to lower CPU usage at all for my 5970. Oh well, sent .2 btc for pointing out the beta. thanks! Same, running a 5870 + 4850 here in W7 64-bit, no changes, BUT I *think* my hashrate has gone up slightly on my 5870. I'm not sure though, I wasn't monitoring it too closely anyways. |

Comes out to around $0.32 here in NYC with taxes.

I have Demonoid invites available, 1BTC each. Let me know if you'd like one.

Interesting question. I made a quick calculation ...
5850 -> 300 MH/s -> 2.5 TFLOPs
2,500,000,000 / 300,000,000 = 8.33 OPs
I'd say 9 OPs. Someone here who has more expertise in this, please provide some feedback.
4850 -> 75MH/s -> 1TFLOP 1,000,000,000 / 75,000,000 = 13.333 It's probably dependent on core architecture as well. |

What card do you have? My XFX 5870 only shows VDDC Voltage and VDDC OCP % in GPU-Z.

Heya, I signed up with myalt********r@g****.com. Let me know if I need to take any extra steps or did something wrong.
Thanks in advance!

slush: for some reason today's "system daily reward" results were graphed at linux epoch time, at new year's 1970, skewing the graph like crazy. Just thought I'd let you know.  |

5870 here.
Going from 1200->275 mem makes no difference, and 275->900 makes it run 2-3 mhash higher, but the card is a lot louder and hotter at this setting as well.

this is weird, i seem to have gotten a block. beginners luck i guess  i noticed there needs to be more confirmations. Is there any way to speed this up? also, do i have to leave my computer on to get confirmations? No, and no. A confirmation is a block that was found after the transaction has taken place. I think when you have found a block, you need 120 confirmations to receive the reward. This means that 120 other blocks must be found after yours. You don't have to leave your client or your computer on to receive transactions, your client will "catch up" once you start it again. |

thanks guys, for all the information you've given me.
but i still got a few questions. what do i do when i found a block?
If you're mining solo (not with a pool), nothing. 50BTC will be credited to your wallet shortly, congratulations! |

The only thing you need to look out for is to make sure your case has proper ventilation. If your HD4850 is a reference card like mine (single-slot cooler, idles really fucking hot) then I recommend pointing a case fan at it.
But other than that, it's perfectly fine.

Hmm, I was under the impression that a 6870 could do much more than ~240 mhash/s. If I'm correct, a 5870 will do somewhere in the neighborhood of 300m.
~370mhash here on an overclocked XFX 5870 |

Just remember that if you have to use air conditioning the electricity costs for mining will more than double.
How about this, not mine tho.. https://i.imgur.com/Y8UodThat won't help at all if the air outside is hot. |

Nice, the only thing I was waiting for was the autostarting of miners. Great work on this GUI!  |

I recently purchased the XFX card myself. I'm pretty happy with it, though a bit disappointed that you can't control the voltage using software.
I have overclocked it from 875mhz or so up to 990Mhz. I was able to get it up to 1020mhz and it was stable when looking at the dekstop, however it made poclbm crash. At 990 it is rock stable and 100% working. I have also downclocked the memory to 275mhz in order to make it run cooler, quieter, and save on energy.
I really wish I could increase the voltage, I'd be able to drive it to 1050mhz at the very least. At my current settings, with the command line options -v -w128, I get around ~360mhash with this card alone.

Started using the -v -w128 flags, and increased by 20-30Mhash/s. Current speed, 313-320Mhash/s. Still running 2.3, no overclocking, no optimization. I'm a fan of seeing my graph on slush's pool jump 10x. Haha yeah, I expected a big jump on the graph but not THAT big. I'm fooling around with core speeds now, trying to see how far I can push this thing. I'm at 1000 core 275 mem right now, ~375mhash/sec. Hopefully it's stable. Edit: Okay, 1000mhz failed and crashed poclbm, but 990 seems to be fine! |
