Just started running this mining program, minergate, and it says my gpu- an r9 280- isn't supported. Anyone know why?

Just a guy who peaked at building back in the days of the GTX 980. If you see me here, assume i have technical knowledge akin to a committed hobbyist builder back then. If something's changed, you'll need to tell me(nicely plz). I'm probably asking for help with the modern build scene since I have no clue what's going on.

I guess it is not a great program? You will end up losing money if you use GPU mining anyway.

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

what are you mining if i may ask? also you will probably loose money no matter what you mine so just keep that in mind.

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

Because the power consumption from the GPU (yes those couple dollars/year) will not be paid off by the profit from mining because it has become that difficult due to warehouses filled with specially made mining devices competing with you.

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.
