Topic: BitCoin newcomer with mining questions... - page 2. (Read 5683 times)
In order to use your GPU for mining, it must be supported by OpenCL or CUDA, and I don't believe yours is supported by either. Your only option would be using the CPU. Give puddinpop's RPC miner a try (there's a thread in this section). It should work fine with deepbit.net.
Hey all,
I recently stumbled on bitcoin and found it to be really interesting. I tried mining with my cpu and well... 1kh/s would get me a block in an estimated 6 years, so that alone would be stupid. I then looked into using my GPU to mine, which i heard was really more efficient. I have been searching and i dont know how exactly to get my graphics card to do this work for me, so I was wondering if anybody could steer me in the right direction?
Just some info on the card/my comp: (Yeah i have a crappy laptop used mostly for school/diablo 2 =D)
Laptop w/ Win Vista
Mobile Intel
945 Express Chipset Family
GPU: i945GME
DirectX Support: 9.0
Yeah if you need any other info on my computer specs just say so, i dont really want to list EVERYthing lol.
Also, i would like to know how to use my GPU (CPU if it wont work) with a mining pool, most specifically deepbit.net . I already have an account there.
PS: If you help me out and I end up actually getting some BTC's, i will be sure to drop you a donation
Thanks!
