Newbie qeustion

[lijpert]

Hello, dear bitcoin members


i have a qeustion maybe it is a stupid qeustion but i wonder if i have my gig setup right ,

this is my miner thing note its just my home pc

amd phenom deluxe x 6
12gb ddr3
ati 5780 x1 1gb

i mine like 90 mhash , is this normal or am i mining on my cpu cause i know videocards mine more , i have been mining now for about 7 hours and only generated 0.01015306 BTC in my eyes that would mean i would mine like 0,03 btc a day maybe i,m pretty inpatient but would love to know what you guys think about it. i use guiminer is there a setting i have to change to increase my btc ratio? thanks in advance for the reply

i hear a lot of people mining like 2btc a day well in this rate i would never achieve that more like a week for 1btc lol

i am a true newbie ^^

Never heard of an ATI 5780?  Are you sure of its name.  Also you might want to mine Litecoin on your CPU while your GPU mines Bitcoin.

lol yea my mistake its the ati 5770 card :O  but you think this rate of btc is normal or is it way to low?  thanks for your reaction btw i have to look into lite coin i geuss

5770 should be getting around 200 MH/sec.  Try changing some of the cgminer settings like intensity.

Also, run one of the ATI tools to make sure your GPU clock speed is correct.

5770 should do ~215 MH depending on clocks
Then put that number here:

And you get ~0.16 BTC per day on average.

Of course much depends what pool you are mining on, there could be a big variability, some days making nothing, others 3-4x as much.

If you want a simple to use miner, check the one in my sig.

alright i geuss thats my problem , because i,m rather new i am overwelmed with settings i cant find any settings to adjust my intensity for guiminer , i appreciate all youir input and will look further in to this i mine with deepbit , so maybe thats the problem i don't really know i think ill just have to play around some more with settings etc ,

Go visit the cgminer thread:

You're going to have to experiment with different settings.  Just don't go crazy; try them one at a time.

You should get at the least 180M/Hashes stock make sure u have nothing in the background using your GPU
