Topic: Trying to mine with older cards ETH (Read 1095 times)

iknow but id really like to gerts these working so if you have any ideas i will invest when i learn more i cant get hardly anything working

a 1060 is 300 sol and consume less than 90watt, the 7950 consume too much, like 150 or 200, not worth it for me, even if you can find it for very cheap like $50

Well 7950 is 220-260 H/s depending on model (that I have) and intensity settings etc. for zcash. 

dunno i find nvidia to be much better for zec, gtx 1060 if you want to be cheap, amd even new generation gpu are not that good on zec, but they still do fine if that what you mean

7950 is good for ZEC mining.

but the 7950 is too old is not good anymore for ETH, the size of GB required is too high for the tiny 3gb that the 7950 offers, better for him to buy a recent 470 with 4gb which is still very cheap at $150, or take it second hand at $100

Go out and buy a real GPU. Buy a Radeon 7950 for like $50 off Craigslist. Those GPUs you are trying to mine with are a complete joke. Your CPU can probably make more money than those GPUs.

hey this is what i got

HUSH ANN:

You might need to use Radeon 14.4 drivers or maybe even older drivers.

do you guys have any links for where to start i feel like i have read so much about mining but still know so little and i dont know where to start for all these different coins so any helpful links would be greatly appreciated. with every failure i am picking things up here and there but i still need to be talked to like a num skull

probably ETC also is not minable with those gpu, try to mine very new dager coin such as musiccoin or HUSH, hush is profitable now for amd but always consider dual mining if you want more profit, i would recommend siacoin

It won't work, it was possible to mine with older cards with 14.x ati drivers, but now the DAG is to big to fit in the memory.
But you can mine new ethash forks before they reach the 1GB DAG size.

Those cards only have 1GB of memory, it looks.  You needs 3 to 4 GB of memory to mine ETH.

something about opencl error -38

any ideas?

Okay I have been trying a bunch of different miners and I have had nothing but trouble. I am totally lost. I have Amd 4600s  and for every miner so far I am having Opencl errors the most common one being opencl is not for this target. What does this mean? I have tried messing with my .bat file as best I can. I know they won't be profitable but I want to get all my older components mining for me so I would love it if someone had some insight on the subject.
