GPU mining is obsolete or about to be. Why are you going into mining with GPU now?

my computer runs day and night, anyway the only thing i was not using was the gpu, and i wanted a new card anyway

That makes sense, just watch out with the electric bill. Having the GPU idle or at 99% makes a big difference on how much it consumes. Make the numbers and be sure you are making more money than you are paying.

I have the same problem when using guiminer with deepbit and a 7870.

cgminer works fine though - averaging 415 Mh/s
