Topic: CPU takes hashes away from GPU (Read 413 times)
Awesome, thanks guys. Yes I realize it is pointless, just trying to understand as much as possible.
I usually leave 2 threads free, just for overhead and just in case other system resources need the extra thread.
You must leave one of the CPU threads free for controlling GPU mining.
Use -t 5 on the CPU miner command line, or better yet, use the commandline
start /idle minerd -t 5 ...
That also lowers priority of intensive threads
Scrypt mining with the CPU is pointless, though.

Hi,
I'm running some antiquated hardware and when I run the GPU by itself, it hashes about 200KH/s. The CPU by itself hashes about 40KH/s. Obviously neither of these is impressive, and I'm just stockpiling some worthless coins on ScryptGuild. When I run the GPU and CPU together, the GPU drops to ~160KH/s and the CPU remains at 40KH/s. How can I prevent the GPU from mining slower when the CPU is also mining?
I'm running the following:
- Windows 7
- AMD Radeon HD6750 on CGMiner 3.7.2 and Catalyst 13.12
- AMD Phenom II X6 1090T on Pooler CPU Miner 2.3.3
