Somebody to help me configuring cgminer for my GPUs ?
-
My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite L775D-S7222 : [url=http://www.toshiba.com/us/computers/laptops/satellite/L770/L775D-S7222]http://www.toshiba.com/us/computers/laptops/satellite/L770/L775D-S7222[/url]
I have 2 GPUs : 1 AMD Radeon HD 6520G and 1 AMD Radeon HD 7450MI use CGminer
I’m on FCPool, my Hashrate is 9 KH/s
I need some help to increase the productivity of my laptop without destroying it :oPS : Sorry for my English, i’m a French guy

How can you have 2GPUs in 1 laptop?
-
Sorry, but with this configuration you’ll invest much more through your power consumption that with earning FTCs. It’s not worth to use this device ;-)
Maybe it’s a good idea to use the calculator available on this page.

I’m a noob concerning technologies
But when I look at my peripherals (I don’t know if this is the right word to use) i have this about GPUs (in French)[img]http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2013/45/1384089763-fdsfs.jpg[/img]

[/quote]I didn’t specify that I’m not paying the power consumption for this laptop ;D
I didn’t see the calculator, can you give me a link please ?
EDIT : I found the calculator, I see that with a 5 KH/s there is no profitability of Feathercoins for me, so I need to increase my Hash rate I think ???

It seems you have GPU integrated in CPU and also dedicated GPU chip.
There is good source of cgminer configurations for different GPUS:[url=https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison]https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison[/url]
But generally mining on laptop sucks, it is ok to stick erupter into every USB port you have, but for GPU mining I suggest to build cheap headless mining rig…

[/quote]Thanks for the links, I had already seen the cgminer config for GPUS but I understand nothing for my laptop
I think that I need a cgminer.conf or a help to configure it by myself to increase the hash rate of my cgminerFinally, I don’t know what is " headless mining rig " :(

[/quote]PC in minimum configuration swarming with gpus, basically:
cheap mainboard, cpu, ram, USB flash disk for Linux OS
and good quality power supply + some GPUsHeadless means you access it remotely via LAN (no need for monitor)…

[/quote]I think I understand, but where can i find a headless mining rig to connect with so ?
And when I search a little on the Internet I see that some parameters of cgminer have to be changed depending on what is your computer or GPUS

^^ mining rig you have to build by yourself ;)
I dont want to redirect your energy to wrong direction.It might be wort to [b]try Guiminer instead of cgminer…there is lot of cards setting in guiminer ready for instant use[/b], so maybe you try some and see how it goes?
-
Ok, I will see for the mining rig :)
I saw before that CGMiner was better than Guiminer for GPUs, but if you recommend Guiminer I follow you ;D
