GUIMiner Problems

[fpressly]

Hello friends,

I hate to sound like such a newbie...but in fact I am. I have implemented the GUI GUIminer and have connected to Slush's pool mining. The problem is I can't seem to get my video cards into the act. The GUIminer is showing me at 720 MHash/sec but my video cards are showing no load activity or temperature increases.

It is almost as though only my CPUs are working. I can't find anywhere in the GUIMiner by "Kiv" how to make the video cards get into the game.

Does anyone know enough about this to help me?

Thanks

Well if you are indeed mining at 720Mhash then it is highly unlikely that only your CPU is doing the mining as most CPU's can only mine at around 2-3Mhash.

Also mining BTC at this point with anything but asic devices is pointless unless just for learning for a short time.

What "device" is selected in your drop down window?  This is the device that is mining.

If you are getting 720Mh/s out of your video card on slush's pool there is a reasonable chance that it can actually be profitable mining scrypt alt coins depending on your power costs, but we need more info.

What is your video card?
