Topic: 150kh/s+ out of a 9800gt.....? (Read 1069 times)

update:
saw my post here, thought about how far i've come since that 9800...  2 xfx 270x dd and 1 xfx 290 dd. well anyway, issue was my card's driver failed resulting in a higher non-productive hashrate. higher non-productive(versus hashrate dropping with a better card) rate since my card hashed at a whopping 15kh/s normally. thanks guys for trying to help.

Wait. Until you see atleast one coin rolled out in your wallet. If not, Useless to mine with the cards or your cudaminer config is wrong.

Its realy no sense to mine with that card.

Hello Fellow Miners!!!

Briefly browsed the forum to see if this question was asked, didn't see it so I apologize if it had been answered. New to mining, been setting up this computer for about a week starting with a wipe of the hard drive. Finally got it going. Got the computer for free, so I can't complain.

Using cudaminer 20.13.12.01 with a 9800GT to SOLO mine Feathercoins. been tweakin the launch config and came up with:
cudaminer.exe -d 0 -l 189x3 -H 1 -i 0.5 -C 0 -o http://.....etc,etc

When cuda boots, it loads, and the driver crashes but recovers. Cuda continues to run just fine.
Cuda says: Given Launch config L189x3 requires too much memory.
the next line says: using launch config L189x3

A tad contradictory?

then it proceeds to list all my hashing.... at speeds of 150-180kh/s. "Woohoo!!!!" I think...?

*Note* When i used default settings, I was mining at 12-13kh/s.

I have nothing real special software/hardware-wise. 2gb ram. Athalon 64 X2 4000+. One card - the 9800gt. Now these cards sell for 20 bucks on Ebay and consume 75 watts, might be feasible for low budgets trying to mine, for now....

Question is as follows: Is my computer really mining at the speeds it says, although the program said it couldn't load launch config due to requiring too much memory? Are these speeds a false reading? I hope I stumbled on to something here.
Thanks!
