Hey everyone out there (:
I have a question about "how can i enable GPU for my Nvidia card"
Graficcard: Nvidia GeForce GT 520 MX Processor: Intel Core i7-2670QM
If i start guiminer make a new OpenCL miner i can only take "GeForce GT 520MX" and set the CPU affinity. So now I'm mining with CPU 5 - 6 MHash/s Is there any way I can enable GPU for my card and mine with GPU ( 5-6 MHash/s is really slow)
Would be nice if anyone could help

from the command line in guiminer type poclbm.exe and see what it says - you will probably need to point the device to the card i.e. -d1

In the Beginning there was CPU , then GPU , then FPGA then ASIC, what next I hear to ask ....

Please note that CPU and Nvidia mining is VERY SLOW, you are just wasting time and electricity An ATI is much faster

I will try to explane my situation^^ I have a Nvidia grafic card (GT 520 MX), I know that it's possible to mine with GPU with that card, but when i start guiminer and want to mine i only can select "GeForce G 520 MX" and i can select on how much of my 8 cores i want to mine, so the only way i can mine is with CPU. And my question here is how i can enable that i can mine with GPU with my grafic card. hope this is intelligible EDIT: i installed GPU Caps Viewer and under GPU it says "unknown", dont know why

Run using CMD as RaTTuS said above.

then it says:
Traceback <most revent call last>: File "poclbm.py", line 48, in <module> pyopencl.LogicError: clGetPlatformIDs failed: inavild/unknown error code
EDIT: I'm now mining with rpcminer-Cuda 10-11Mhash/s . It's the best i get or can it also be better?

GT520 is a pretty low-end card, so yes it seems adequate. Comparable really with the about 13MH/s I was getting with a 9600GT.

Yes this sounds about right. Does anyone know why it is that Nvidia cards are so much worse than ATI?
