GPU Mining on stock/onboard. Also NVidia FX3000

BrookGPU should run on a GForce 6. But I don't know of any working miner yet. Would like to get one implemented, though. My biggest problem are the streams at the moment, as they only allow float base types. So either encode the ints as floats or extend the compiler to allow ints. It seems the compiler accepts the ints as a syntatic correct type but then complains about a 'strange' base type.

It seems pretty unlikely that you'll be able to mine using an integrated graphics card (at least in the short term). The major video card manufacturers tout their CUDA/OpenCL technology as features, so they wouldn't want to let everyone use it (especially Nvidia's CUDA).
As for the Quadro FX 3000, it cannot use CUDA because CUDA was first implemented on the G8x cores (think Geforce 8000 series), while your graphics card has a NV35GL core (equivalent to a Geforce 6000 series). Thus, your card is not CUDA-compatible. OpenCL came to Nvidia after CUDA, so there's no hope there either. Sorry about that.
You could try to get a very cheap, used Radeon 5770/6770 (it's the same card) and crunch out 200 Mhash/s. They're also good for moderate gaming, if you're into that.

So my onboard Intel chipset will never GPU mine?

I've tried CUDA and OpenCL with my Quadro. It doesn't work! Sad

Heres the error:

Intel will probably only support OpenCL on integrated graphics on the upcoming Ivy Bridge architecture. Atm it only supports OpenCL in processor programming. As for quadro mining, try rpcminer-cuda, and also check http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison

I'm downloading the Quadro ones now. I'll tell you how it goes.
Do you know if my Intel Machine with onboard graphics supports OpenCL? Its pretty new, like 2 years old :/

Edit:
The drivers do not work. Can't find OpenCL.dll!
on the download page, it says OpenGL not CL
What is OpenGL, and can we mine using it?

Hi,

I have a 'HP Compaq 6000 Pro SFF PC', with an 'Intel Q45/Q43 Express Chipset'
I can't GPU mine, because OpenCL.dll is missing. I cannot find a download page for OpenCL and i've also upgraded my driver to the latest Intel Version. Is there any possible way to GPU mine on this PC?
CPU mining is slow, 6.25Mhash/s

Also, I have an 'IBM Itellistation 6230-39G' with a 'NVidia Quadro FX 3000' Graphics Card. I get the same problem and can't get GPU mining to work! Sad

You said you have downloaded the latest Intel drivers, but have you downloaded the latest NVIDIA drivers for Quadro? Try here (note this is XP 32bit) http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_169.96.html. According to their page, the OpenCL drivers are included in the package.

Hope that helps!
