I have been cpu mining for a while. Now I finally have bought a MSI 7950 and plan on getting a second one soon. However, I am trying to get my mining software working, and more importantly, getting myself adapted to the mining software, so that when the second card is purchased I can be up and running just fine. However, there are some things that I am lost on after installing the card and firing up bfgminer.

1) My hashrate is very low. On my cpu I can get 100 kh/s. But the card is only producing 3 kh/s. From my understanding, I should be producing a couple hundred kh/s with a single card.

2) I pointed the miner at the Anoncoin mining pool anc.us.ir and bfgminer said that I had solved two blocks, produced 3 shares (all 3 rejected). Since I have been cpumining for over a year I have never solved a block, let alone at 3 kh/s. It had mentioned that the the difficulty did not match the target at the time of rejection

3) What are the settings I should be using for a single card on bfgminer?

4) Should I use cgminer or another miner?

4) Is there a bfgminer for dummies guide somewhere out there on the forums or elsewhere? I have seen some of the posts that help people but they do seem to be on a very specific topic and are definitely not for dummies like myself

Thanks

CPU mining?  Wow, what time warp are you living in?

Your shitty hash rate with your 7950 is due to wrong drivers.  On Windows you want to be using 12.8.

Well, I had been out of work for a few years and jsut getting by with an old desktop and an old laptop.

What about on Linux? Ubuntu 12.04 LTS or Mint 15 Cinnamon? Its amazing that the drivers could matter that much. When I open Steam (the gaming platform) it has told me that there is a new driver (an experimental/beta one) available. When I try to download it it fails to install.

Maybe I should just install Wine just so I can get the drivers loaded
