An OC 570 gets about 154,000 Boinc points/day, so not really worth it for the points, but I would expect an AMD card to be much better, which I don't have at the moment :(
Yeah I would say keep the Nvidia cards on GPUGrid... but it's a nice alternative for those who have only ATI cards!
Any more information on it?
Yeah will do some research this sounds good :)
Where's all the AMD card owners when you need 'em :shakes:
I'm here :) whith 2 cards :)
These baby's are putting out heat :) 80 C per 6850 card :) i think i'll put my fans on high :) (lol fans in the case on high temps go to 71 C instead of 80~81 C and thats in a room temp of 21.5 C)
Just one question, will this boost my GPU Grid points... ??
You've just doubled the members :welcome: & no, it's a separate project. Nice cards you have there. Are they overclocked? They each look good for 320,000 boinc points/day :up:
nope to standard 6850 Cards CU from Asus i'll put them at work :)
Any idea what a 2600pro would do?? Have lots of them
hi what cards are needed for this im shadows daughter and will be taking over for him shadow is loosing his eye sight so im taking over for him.
i got the ok to order what ever video cards are needed to get this project going to help out thank you in advance, and my dad wishes you all well.:up:
Aw, sad to hear about that. Hope his eyesight improves and that everything else is well.Quote:

For AMD cards (bitcoin) it looks like the ideal is still 5970, 5950 (flashed to 5970) or 5970. But as those cards are hard to find for reasonable prices the 6950 (flashed to 6970) would be next best with an actual 6970 coming in next if you are not willing to flash the cards.
Hope that helps! If you need any more info just ask and we'll be happy to help! :up:
ty otis on the fast reply i just ordered 2/ 7950s and 1 /7970 i hope those will work out, im not sure he will buy nvidia cards again he had lots of bad luck
with there cards over the years. re-badge 250s and a few others. I myself like them but he buying im just a helper.:p:
Those should do very nicely. Great to have you both along for the journey :up:
Ah! I forgot the 7 series are out by AMD! (Can you tell I'm much better with the Nvidia cards? :p:)
But those will work great! You're looking at 1.6 Gh/s on those 3 cards. :up:
Is Firepro V7900 compatible with this project ?
hello all i was wondering if a 65 watt tri core Liano and use the built in gpu would work on this project.
I like the idea of low power consumption, also got my new cards in im waiting on my dad to get back he will be home next week some time. ty all.
I honestly don't know... I'm not that experienced with the donate project or client - hopefully someone with more knowledge than me will chime in, but I have a feeling as this is based off of bitcoin the guys over here might be able to answer your question.Quote:

I have a spare 6870 I am willing to donate, if anyone is interested?
The team needs all the help it can get :welcome:
old nvidia cards work as well i got my dads old gtx 260 working going to try a 250 in a few mins.
on the 260 i had to under clock it to get it going.:confused:
oh and :welcome:badbaker:)
Thanks, I won't be joining the team. Yet. Currently in the process of moving from australia to new zealand. But I found a powercolour 6870 in a cupboard and would like to donate it to someone who needs it, and would but it to good use and a good cause.
You may send it over here... but i'm in the netherlands.... long way from australia...
If your willing to pay the postage, its yours free. Still have the box and all.
ill pm you and i will see what the postage is/.
Sorry S,A,M im going to pull out for a bit every friday i lose the server then get it back to lose it again,
I have not seen the server in 24 hours and it seems to me they dont care any more.
Nate has the cash needed to continue on the gpugrid, so im going to try and catch gpu beta for wcg.
it was fun :up:
Yeah, it's not the most reliable project. A heatwave has started here, so I will not be firing the cards up again for a while :shakes: I'm still going strong on GPUgrid of course :D
wish i was able to get 2 670s but i needed the cash for 2 hand wired AC 30 amps and to have them modded .
this time of the year music pays my bills , gpugrid can wait till the end of the fall then i can help out.:)
good luck in quest for a cure,:up::up:
It's definitely a challenge to fully understand bitcoin. Understanding the technology of the platform is difficult enough; grasping the mechanics of the larger bitcoin ecosystem is (frankly) beyond the ability of most. While I believe the bitcoin "experiment" has already failed, plenty of people smarter than me think it's worth ongoing effort - even without the profit motive.Quote:

Can't help but begrudgingly give 'em a :up:
:)
(now excuse me while I go figure out why my WCG/GPUGRID output dropped to ZERO when I was away)
:upset:
EDIT: bad switch in the garage (prolly couldn't handle the heat) on my end + serverlockolypse @WCG. Did get GPUGRID goin agin :)
Just setup my 7950 on this since WCGrid has no more work.
Is this still going and active?
yes, for nowQuote:

something about bitcoins halving in value or someting soon, check out the news section on the donateathome siteQuote:
we are not going to produce new updates for donate@home for now.
Reason being that it is likely that gpus will become soon too slow to mine for bitcoins replaced by new ASIC processors.

Ok i'll run it for now till I decide something else for my GPU's. Could put my GTX670 on GPUGrid I suppose.
Do you guys use a separate GUI miner program for this or the BOINC application?
I'm just curious what current GUI miner programs people are using for mining BitCoints.
using Donate@Home through BOINC mines for bitcoins for the GPUGrid project and is not for personal mining. Any bitcoins you find are not yours to keep but go straight to the D@H/GPUGrid project. In fact you won't even see any bitcoins AFAIK.
So, donate@home is officially stopped. Just realised it today :D Not sure what to do with my 7850 rig?
