Thank so much for the reply Mate but its not that . I been overclocking for years and i am using afterburner on both machines at the moment. The thing is with Bitminter Clientv1.3.1 i get roughly 1300mhps for the 1 machine. after i wrote this post GUIMiner actually dropped to 124mhps per card so something strange going on there. I am sure it was some setting or possibly GUIMiner just don't work on windows 8.
Problem is Using the Bitminter Client gives me no freedom at all . I feel almost forced to stay only on bitminter and not try anything else.
Like i said though i like Bitminter but would like to try other pools also with the other machine.I am also going to be mining to GTX680 cards in another rig. I know nvidia doesnt do as well but there top card with a high overclock should do something i imagine.Plus they are sitting doing nothing anyway.
Any help with a newbie friendly GUI client that i can use? One similar to the bitminter interface would be cool but anything that will work would be nice also.
so basically i still need a GUI Client please.
Also is there a Facebook for Bitcoin Miners because communicating and getting help on forums takes a very long time and every day that goes by is just bigger losses.
Thanks Mybadomen
Also seems strange 2 overclocked 7970's and 2 overclocked 6970's together cant pull 1 BTC in 5 days in a Pool.
Use cgminer. it's command line but extremely easy to setup and efficient. i'd be glad to help you out. Most of us hang out over at #bitcoin-otc on freenode.
