With my 5970 I can leave both miners running with -f 120 and I get normal FPS in games and when I drop out of them, hashing resumes full speed.

First of all thanks for making a nice little GUI. My buddy introduced me to bitcoin this weekend so i'm still new to the whole thing.
I have everything working fine with my GPU, but my CPU isn't on the device dropdown?
My CPU is a i7 980X. From what i've read I believe it should just be there so i'm guessing its not detecting it correctly? Are there any logs I can pull to help troubleshoot?
Thanks

Your graphics are not capable of being used for mining. you're limited to CPU mining on that computer.

What CPU miner has an interface like this client? you should be able to use the CPU as a openCL device after installing AMD's APP (formerly stream) SDK. ( here). you'd just select it in the device dropdown as he shows on the 2nd screenshot in the first post however, this will not be as efficient as an optimized CPU miner like ufasoft's or puddinpop's. i'm not entirely sure how much speed you'd lose. i'll have to test that.

I typically lose 50-70%, depending on number of cores available.

I typically lose 50-70%, depending on number of cores available. that about matches with my brief testing on my laptop (AMD 1.9 GHz QL-60 dual core). ufasoft's miner puts out 1.59 mhash, whereas this miner barely manages 1. you pay a high price for the pretty GUI. edit: doing a quick test on my desktop (core2 duo e6850) is even worse. i get 5.99 out of ufasoft, but poclbm only manages 1.6.

Hi, I'm total new to mining. But I got this thing running for a while now but now it has been saying "Problems communicating with bitcoin RPC" for awhile :/ I've got an ATI RADEON 4850 graphics card and it's not listed in my devices list although I installed OpenCL.... ┐( ̄ー ̄)┌ Hope someone can help me there.... Greetings Nut PS: I've registered at slush's pool, but I am confused about the wallet: I know that Bitcoin is creating a wallet file on the PC and I know where it is but it says I have to enter the address of my wallet - does he mean the path?. Also I have Win7/x64...

Also I have Win7/x64... 1. have you tried updating your graphics card driver? and when you say openCL, you mean the ATI stream/APP SDK, right? 2. no, in the main window of bitcoin, there's a big long hex number called your address. looks like this

Thanks for the reply I solved all my probs (* ̄▽ ̄*)... I had to update the driver -.- (it's always the drivers...) now I am mining at 70 MHhashs :O Still playing around with the extra flags ... And the Communication issue was because of the errm -server argument, so simply starting the BitCoin client via guiminer solves this xD Good Luck to you all

I'm running into a problem.
I can never get passed the status "starting..."
It says on the other end "unknown login" despite the fact I'm registered...

you pay a high price for the pretty GUI.
The GUI itself has no performance hit, it's just that poclbm is running code meant for a GPU on a CPU. I didn't take the effort to incorporate ufasoft's miner or other optimized CPU miner into the GUI since I don't think CPU mining has a future, but if this is something you really want, I invite you to either implement it yourself (I accept patches) or offer a bounty for it.

@Kiv,
When you choose "other" Server where can you manually enter the data (server address and port)?

That's what I was meaning. You pay a high price for using the miner with a GUI as opposed to a more optimum CPU miner without one. I rather agree with the lack of future given that GPUs outstrip CPUs by 1+ orders of magnitude.

I have same problem, I am trying to switch a miner to BTC pool from solo.

Kiv a request.
Is it possible to add a timer to know how many shares were mined for an hour. fixed 1 hour or custom-able timer , its ur choice according to code & knowledge. It will be very useful to know how many shares mined per hour, as yesterday it took me a hell lot to remember & mark it on paper. Some servers mine more shares, some mines less & also -w128, w256, gives different no. of shares. Since in GUI, many things are possible at least a fixed one hour timer to measure no. of accepted shares will be nice addiction. Thanks.
