      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?

        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 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?

                                    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 :)
