      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 7450M

      I 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 :o

      PS : 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)

              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:

                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…

                  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 cgminer

                  Finally, I don’t know what is " headless mining rig " :(

                    PC in minimum configuration swarming with gpus, basically:
                    cheap mainboard, cpu, ram, USB flash disk for Linux OS
                    and good quality power supply + some GPUs

                    Headless means you access it remotely via LAN (no need for monitor)…

                      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
