There is no access to the memory temperatures using the ATI Display Library, so cgminer cannot read them off. Other tools have extra carnal knowledge we are not given by AMD to be able to read them off.
Hey there, didn't realize at first but you are the creator of cgminer aren't you? Good work there btw. Are you involved in any similar projects? Also have you ever thought of writing a custom bios for amd cards? Is that even possible?
I am just thinking the bios we have right now is designed for gaming in mind so I would guess there is some bloatware in there (talking from a mining perspective) that we don't need? Maybe there are some gains to be made there?
I am a pc newb as you can no doubt tell but just an idea.
GPU mining is dead so I'm not remotely interested in more GPU code unless it's for paid work
Cheers.
Oh, so have they got asics for scrypt already then? When did those come out? Aren't thousands of people still waiting on their sha asics?
I think there is a fair bit of millage left, I always see people talking about buying new gpu rigs so I guess they didn't get the memo either :0 lol...
When I become rich (2099?) then I will defo hire you.
My comment was mostly tongue in cheek because GPUs are still profitable, but the few ASICs that are out are 40-60x as efficient so it's only a matter of time.
I don't know if you noticed, but I'm not interested in LTC at all and only work on the scrypt code when people donate to keep it maintained. In fact, I kept a GPU only because it was donated to me and I feel obliged to maintain the GPU code till no one cares about it like we did for CPU mining. I do expect LTC to bomb because despite the fact it gives GPU miners somewhere to go, it only remains similar profitability to mining BTC, and that will fall below the horizon over the next 6 months.
Ahhh okay then, lol... Yeah I know they are far better and more efficient but it is just getting hold of one that is the problemand you have to tread carefully due to all the scams out there, but yeah it is a matter of time. I can't believe china hasn't started pumping them out on mass yet!
Why would I notice you not being interested in LTC? lol... Are you a woman by any chance? My mrs thinks I should be able to read her mind too! lmao...
You could well be right about BTC falling and thus LTC falling with it but you could also be very wrong, it can go either way if you ask me. No-one really knows or can predict what will happen in 6 months. The ceo of ebay is talking about intergrating BTC into paypal and if that plays out who knows where the price will end up...
The fact does remain though that people have been saying since the beginning that it will fail within months/years and that you shouldn't bother and that it is a pyramid scheme and a scam etc... But even with all the bad press and attacks it has still continued. I learned about bitcoin when it was at £3, most people wouldn't believe it would get to £100+... I still laugh everytime I see the comments after a hack or something... "that's it, finally bitcoin will die now, all those stupid people deserve to lose their money" etc... But here it is, still going strong.
