35.5Mh/S w/Nvidia fermi 450 GTS -Update- 21.1Ghash?!

[kommykiller]

I did some teaking, now its reporting im processing 20Ghash??  is this a mis-report?  holding at just over 20Ghash!  Thats a huge jump from 34.4MH is it not?!

Whatever you do, do NOT divide by zero!!

I adjusted my GPU clock from 789MHZ, now running at 1,102Mhz [ram downclocked to 381mhz from 1800mhz]

My GPU is running colder now @ 1102Mhz, then 789Mhz!? maybe im going batsh^t

from 35.5Mhash to 21.3Ghash?  With just 1 GTS 450 @ 1102Mhz?

Lol, nice bug you found

Of course it's a wrong number! I wonder what you did to have it anyway lol

Do the number change?

[kommykiller]

I increased my GPU rate from 783mhz to 1,102mhz
BUT
what changed my speed reading is - drop memory Mhz to 425mhz from 1800+mhz

Dropping the memory Mhz also seems to affect the shares in a VERY negative way... [but that could be a mis-report aswell?]

my estimated rewards is dropping too =S

Nope, I've noticed it on nVidia cards as well. You can't decrease memory clock as you can on radeons - it impacts hash rate dramatically.

The reason ati's are faster for this specific mining work is that mining uses the SHA instructions (I think that's what it's called).

Pretty much it boils down to the nvidia card have to run a set of instructions (like say 4), where as the ati card can do it in 1 instruction.

So no matter what, until nvidia adopts openCL or gets some similiar instructions, they are going to suck balls at this.

I would waste my money on 5970's. Pick up used 5870's for 200 apiece and use the leftover money to get a dedicated rig. Apparently with the new drivers you can run more than 4 cards in windows, so just get a board with a lot of slots and go to town...

Run it for 5 minutes than see how many shares is accepted according to your pool's webpage

nVidia has openCL but their hardware is lacking the 32 bit right rotation instruction, so they take 3 instructions to emulate.
