Does cpu use less watts then a gpu, my guess is a i7 is similar to a 7950

I have my CPU, i7 920, mining 24/7 at 250KH/s with http://qrk.mine-pool.net p2p.  I was mining at http://www.coinmine.pl/qrk/index.php but changed over.

I'm running a 5830 and get ~1.8Mh/s and have been running it overnight every night for about 5 nights. I found my first block last night and got 14.4QRKS Smiley
You'd get a lot more CPU-mining with a pool. You could then use the GPU to mine litecoin or any other scrypt based crypto.

I'm thinking that I should try and overclock my card. It's currently at GPU 825MHz Memory 1025MHz running at 65 degrees. I'll have a play around and report back.

I'm not sure if they're older, but I have several 5750s mining with smelter, and they work very well.
What kind of hashrates are you getting? Solving any blocks?

My 5750s get about 1.38MH/s each; my 5850s get about 2.5MH/s each. (I overclock them.)

All my cards together amount to about 18MH/s, and I find plenty of blocks--about what I should according to the estimates on pools. Of course, there is a huge amount of random variance in solo mining. Some days I find twice as many as I should, other days I find just one.

It is still the most profitable use of these cards, but that may change soon, as the price drops and the difficulty rises.

Certain Radeon series don't work. Oldest reported working GPU is a 58xx.

Mining. Hosting. Cloud Mining.
Please add the support for graphics cards Hawaii ( Radeon R290, 290X)
Now when you run any version gives an error

Thanks Hilux, you rock.  I hope someone creates a QRK pool GPU miner soon though I guess Smolen isn't too motivated as she/he might lose their cut that they skim off at the moment.

I'd never heard of Cthulu or Frozen crypto coins before. I think I'll leave Smelter running on Quark and just hope I'm lucky - just under 2MHs doesn't seem too bad.  How many million (!) QRK could I expect to receive if I found a block?

Thanks Hilux74 Smiley

....10 hours after I first got it to work.....

Code:
1:3554 A:0 R:0 HW:0 Speed: 1.78MH/s 5s: 1.88MH/s

Aww man, I was expecting to be rolling in Quarks now!  Is the effort of this cumulative in some way, ie if I switch it off now will I have lost some progress?

Very hard to get solo Quark or SecureCoin blocks now.  Best use for Smelter on a single GPU now is Cthulu or Frozen and hope one of them gets worth something...hopefully Cthulu.

Hey Smolen,
Thanks for your work on these miners.
I'm not sure how I feel about the 1/10th reward share at this time (as I'm not able to run the miner), but in theory I think its a viable business model.
That being said I have a decent Radeon 4850 and a Nvideo 280 GTX. Not new by any standards but decent ass cards.

Unfortunately I'm getting the errors:
Failed to read source file: ./quark0td/kernel/kernelQuark.cl
SummonProgram failed
ThreadHost::Thread() unexpected exception:clCreateKernel call failed

Any chance of getting this to run on my rigs or is it a lost cause?
I've tried v2 and v3.
Certain Radeon series don't work. Oldest reported working GPU is a 58xx.

Ahh thank you very much for that info.
That should be added to the OP.

A= Accepted (ie you solved a block ding ding winner winner chicken dinner!!)
R= Rejected (ie you solved a block but someone else did faster than you...doh!)
HW = Hardware Errors (do not want to see this change from 0)

FIXED!! Thank you guys, I love you and I want to have your children xx

EDIT: Here's my rate on a 5830. Makes the computer laggy as hell, typing this was painful, but I guess these settings will do for overnight mining.  Now if I only knew what 1: A: R: and HW: meant!

Not helpful but yes, I can read, no nvidia support. But one of my cards is radeon.
Also I didn't mention the nvidia gets a different error:

Will this fire up all GPU's by default, or only by a particular command?

Thank you

Tried both 0.3 and 0.3a and they both quit with

Failed to read source file: ./quark0td/kernel/kernelQuark.cl
SummonProgram failed
ThreadHost::Thread() unexpected exception:clCreateKernel call failed



Try 0.2, it has the same features and speed

there is no linux version of smolens gpu miner - am i right?

yes, there is no common build available

how much is it's performance for example for a 7950 ?

How much better than pure cpu ?

My sapphire 7950 used to mine around 1,45Mhash/s at 1050/1400 clocks at 1.1v
3570k running at 4,2GHz got to 750khash/s

Mining SRC or QRK is pretty much waste of time considering network speeds and block rewards, if one without botnet wants those, best way would to buy them and mine something more profitable´or usable (like curecoin ^^)


So what kind rewards on average do you guys get?  Average time to find a block?  Im interested, but seems the rewards is pretty low atm?
