Wondering if anyone knows of any better miner than GUIMiner default (tried all other miners that come on GUIMiner) for the 8800GT? Pretty old card guessing there isn't a miner optimized for it?

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

I hear nothing's better than the CUDA miner on GUI for nvidia. My old bosses 580 got less than my 6850 when we first started mining. I recommend just getting a cheap older card or a new fast one.

AMD/ATI that is. And if you're a nvidia fan boy about drivers, don't sweat it AMD stepped it up now, they're great.

Ah bummer the CUDA miner only goes at about 1/7th the speed of the default miner =/ I guess b/c I don't have a cuda core. Haha would love to get a new AMD/ATi card sometime soon not an nvidia fanboy just got the 8800 GT since it was such a good deal back in the day Grin (5+ years ago?) getting around 28 MHash/s is all
