But, why?! This way you need more raM & cpu

How much RAM does the GPU have? 1GB is not enough. You'll want to use my fork and use the -U flag instead of -G to run in CUDA mode. CUDA doesn't need any of the setx settings.
If I'm not mistaken, this VC has only 1GB vram. But i'll still try your suggestion. Hi can anyone verify if my set is good for eth mining? Core i7-3770 4 GB RAM nVidia GTX 650 vc Windows 7 x64
No. Foer Ether you need at least Maxwell cores (750) or newer Notice that 760 is Kepler - a 760Ti makes 8.8MH/s atm, but its better to mine other altcoin I see, thanks for clearing. But i'll try genoil's suggestion first and if it still didn't work out, i'll leave eth mining until i got a recommended hardware. Thanks!

If you have only 1GB of GPU RAM, there's no point trying.

Lolz even some 2gb cards are worthless for eth mining. 1Gb for eth!!!! Naaaaaaaah

Just a heads up, I cant get -E old / all to work on windows, the miner just crashes on start.

If this is not the correct place to ask this question, please let me know.
First off, big thanks to Genoil on this work; I am using the latest version with great success and better hashing than before. Thanks again!
The issue I am having is related to what I believe to be ULPS. I have a 280x and a 270x in a machine and the 280x runs fine; however, the 270x is only running at a core clock of 150 Mhz and a memory clock of the same. I have disabled ULPS in the registry and Afterburner. When I reboot and attempt to run ethminer the system bluescreens (I cannot see this occur, but on reboot it says it in the dialog box from Windows). Then I attempt to use ethminer and it works fine, but again at 150 MHz for the 270x. Also, if it matters, I cannot see the BIOS any longer when the system boots (since I added the 270x). Also, the 270x is using a USB powered riser a 750w power supply, and a fresh install of the ATI drivers and Windows.
What am I doing wrong here and what could I do to attempt to fix it? Power Limit is set to Max, PCIe link state power management is disabled, enablecrossfireautolink is set to 0, and EnableULPS is disabled in the registry. Any ideas? Thanks for the help.
EDIT: So I solved my own issue. First, I disconnected the second card to boot into the BIOS and set the primary display to PCIe. This solved the problem of not being able to see the boot screen. Then, I booted into Safemode and ran Display Driver Uninstaller from guru3d.com. Rebooted a few times and then reinstalled the latest AMD drivers. After rebooting then I reinstalled MSI Afterburner, disabled UPLS, rebooted, and it just worked. I ran ethminer and now I am happyly hashing away at the correct clock speeds. Maybe some of this will help out others, but the bottom line, uninstall the drivers THEN install your new card(s) to start mining.

It still crashed on start. check that you have the latest version. want to say its 1.06b2 or something like that.. the first 1.06 i think had an issue where if you used the argument and there was no dags then it crashed try it without the -E once it creates the new dags then try with it.. sorry i cant help you further.. https://github.com/Genoil/cpp-ethereum/tree/pick-devices/releasesBest Regards Doug

Sent you 10 ETH for motivation. Using 1.0.6 with stratum right now, seems to be the most "stable" one for my platforms. PS put me on the private kernel list Thanks! Much appreciated! Donators automatically get on that list, although I cant promise the kernel ever comes I sent you 10 ETH to support your work in the miner. I wish you achieve some opencl improvement as well, count on me for any testing needed. An if you work on a special opencl kernel, count on me for the list

The farm check is the time interval the ethminer check for the new work. So if you decrease, the response time will be faster.

1.0.6b2 from the pick-devies branch is not the latest version. It has the -E bug. That should be fixed in 1.0.6 in master branch. If you still experience issues, please send me your full command line, as well as a directory listing from your DAG storage directory.
If you look around carefully you should know I've been trying to improve the OpenCL kernel for AMD. But for now..no luck. The only result until now is a faster OpenCL kernel on Nvidia, just .5MH short of the CUDA kernel on a 970. I hope to get it at the same speed. This will be useful for Linux people, as compiling with CUDA has lead to many issues.

farm-recheck is the time (in milliseconds) interval your miner checks the farm for new work/block changes. You will punish your farm, but, get new work sooner after a block change. Won't make a world of difference, but, it will help a little. Notes: If you use a stratum proxy, a lower farm-recheck is fine as your actually just punishing your proxy. The proxy "subscribes" to block changes. Genoil's hard work implementing stratum should make the farm-recheck a thing of the past with stratum-capable pools.

Make sure you have available disk space - DAG files are ~3GB in total. Make sure your are using the latest AMD drivers - Crimson has been working well for most. Take all that malware off your "Winders" box too - strip it BARE, or even do a clean install of a 64bit OS.
