Getting message 'Nothing To Mine On, Exiting' using NVIDIA and no OpenCL

[just_me]

Hi. I have been reading a bit on the forums, and it seems that I may be wasting my time, trying to mine with NVIDIA.

I am using

NVIDIA GeForce 7050 / NVIDIA nForce 620i

(I don't think I can use CUDA for this)

and also using the scrypt version of GUIminer to mine for LTC

I joined a pool.

I tried to follow instructions as well as possible, though most of the time the instructions leap about all over the place, expecting me to know what they are doing I suppose.

Nonetheless, I click on 'Start Mining'

but I get a message that says: 'NOTHING TO MINE ON, EXITING'

And I theorize that it isn't mining, even though I clicked the button to start mining.

Can anyone help?

Only upper 8000er GForce (I think the lowest was 8800) and upwards support CUDA and OpenCL. So you need a newer Card if you realy want to mine on GPU (only makes sense for Scrypt/Scrypt-Jane Altcoins now).

So does that mean that I won't be able to mine with my current NVIDIA card?

yes
