Common speed for scrypt on Xeon processors in Mac Pro 3,1?

kitewinds · February 2014

I'm running CPUMiner on my Mac Pro 3,1 with 2 x 2,8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon and Cudaminer on NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600 and FPGA/ASIC Miner with two Red Fury 2,6 GH sticks (MacMiner is great for these! Much faster than Bitminter Java app!).

All works fine and seems stable, even though I believe I will not earn anything, rather get a large electricity-bill the coming months.

However, it seems like I get CPU speed about 50 KH toward Middlecoin scrypt.

Is that "normal"?

It seems slow, is there anything I can tweak to make the CPUMiner working faster?

BTW, my cudaminer speed with the quadro FX is about 27 KH, and the two Red Fury's chewing bitcoins at about 5,2 GH.

I'm not sure about the specifics of Middlecoin or that generation of Mac Pro, but that sounds about right to me - my 2012 Pro gets about 80kh for Litecoin. Unfortunately the CPU miner is already set up to take full advantage of the available resources and can't be tweaked like GPU mining, all you could do is reduce the number of threads and thus reduce mining speed

Howdy, Stranger!
