I have been mining with my asus hd 5670 1gb ddr3 for a couple of days with a hashrate of about 80-95kh/s when no one was using the pc and when browsing the web and watching some videos(never played games and mined) it would have dropped even to 20 sometimes
right now it's at about 60kh/s which for some of you with 7970 and 290s might sound awful but for me it's enough
I mined for the first half an our with the intensity set to 7(if I remember correctly) but the hash rate was lower(about 40kh/s) so I've bumped it up to 11 and since then I never bothered changing it because my gpu utilisation is about 75% everytime(while I'm mining), and the temperature 60 C at max
So, my questions are:
1.what intensity should I use? or should I test to see what works best for me(the only problem is that I don't know how to test it properly)
2.I have 3gb of ram. does ram has any effect on mining?( I don't think that it has, but I want to make sure)
3.When coin mining at full capacity, shouldn't the gpu be used at 100%, not at ~70%?
thank you
edit: also, I forgot to say that I'm using cgminer 3.7.2 and windows 7 ultimate x64 (if it matters)
wow this is a very welcoming forum
thanks guys for your help
