      I repurposed a few old computers, shockingly getting even 60khash out of some older cpus.

      Main effort is my aging 5770 that runs at about 190Khash when I go to itensity 18.

      Sheesh how are you getting 60kash out of old CPUs? :) what software are you using?
      [/quote]
      Depends on their definition of old. I have some ‘old’ computers lying around for me too. But they equate to like 667MHz Intel Coppermine, Athlon 2.7GHz, Intel Celeron, etc… Although I do have a nice amount of dual core and above rigs ‘spare’ xD
      ( The only gripe is that the cost to run them way exceeds the shares they’ll make and earn from :P )

      Well if I wanted to mine with my CPU what would be the best software to use?

          Thanks will read through it when I get home :) I was mining with a CPU before but I got such a low hash and I’m sure that I could get a much better hash with my current CPU.

            What parameters are you using for your 5770? I have 2 of them myself in my ‘normal’ pc and getting 120 ~ 140 max out of them.

              Nice!

              You only changed Intensity to 16? Nothing with thread-concurrency, worksize etc?

                nope, all standard 2.1.1.3 settings

                nothing changed except for the intensity

                Maybe you have a version with less shaders than mine, I think you can verify this with CPU-Z

                  And that’s a possibility, but I wasn’t aware there are/were two different models/releases of the 5770. o-o

                      Well that was a certainly an interesting read, the more you know. :)
                      A little curious as to why 80 shaders are locked down initially, it’s not like the sold this cards at a cheaper price. Hmm.

                          Same… I get about 380-390 if I set I18 but then I can’t use the machine. With cpu mining included I get about 410.

                          depressing when you see pics of people who’ve just bought things specifically for mining. oO

                            It is a little, especially when I think ‘why can’t I afford to do that’ xD
                            That aside, I’ve just used my gaming rigs, not brought any hardware specific for mining really. (If I was, I’d of brought 3 x 7950s instead of 2 x 7970s =w= )

                                I use minerd (pooler/cpuminer from github) on them under Ubuntu. Some old dual core cpus can even score strangely high, probably because they have a higher rate which these days get’s compensated with more cores (and lower clock speed). I run on an old toshiba Notebook, that’s at least 6 years old now with 26K hash even.

                                These are speeds I read on the accepted messages from minerd, so they are the real ones, not some odd ones some pool s sometimes report on.

                                      I’m hardly a hardcore miner, but my 7850 is pushing along at ~302kh/s.
                                      I’ve had it up significantly higher, but am pretty satisfied considering I’m only working at intensity 13.

                                      It means I can do other things on my rig… like read this pretty forum :)

I run on an old toshiba Notebook, that’s at least 6 years old now with 26K hash even.

                                          These are speeds I read on the accepted messages from minerd, so they are the real ones, not some odd ones some pool s sometimes report on.

                                            Hi DeadZebra,

                                            I’m getting about the same hashrate as you averaging about 610 per card.
                                            I have 4 7950s on my board (3 cards in the pci16 slots and 1 in a pci1 slot) and for my next project I’m going to try to mount 6 7950’s to a board, I haven’t looked for a board that can take that or even if its worth doing because I heard you can fry your pci slots with too many cards, so my question to you personalty as you use the 7950, is would you limit your rig to 4 cards or try 6?
