How to mine GPU with Intel HD GPU? #168

Open bitbybitllc opened 7 years ago

bitbybitllc commented 7 years ago

I ran with command line arguments -l pool:port -u wallet.workerName -od 0

It crashed saying IOError

Any idea? How do I find out which device id to use? Pretty sure that's my issue correct, or is Intel HD not supported?

I'm also running to the same problem. If you run the -oi what it responds? Mine shows nothing, not even "0 cards found". I think there is a bug, like the OpenCL is kind of let aside.

I had my buddy with an AMD run it with similar command and still no luck. I just think I'm doing the parameters incorrect.

But when you run with -oi what returns? Here I'm not receiving anything, not even a "0 cards found". Seems something wrong in the code ...

Intel HD is integrated graphics there is no graphics card to find. Integrated graphics uses the CPU to do the work of the GPU. Intel just tossed on HD to make it sound better than it really is. I wouldn't even bother mining CPU mining produces such a low hash rate that you will actually be spending more on the electricity it uses than you will ever get from it mining even in a pool.
