Well PM 5.7b is finally running.. with the AMD 21.1.8.1
I know I am an impatient person..
With 5.5c it was about 10-20 seconds I had to wait before I could see the openCL drivers were loaded and the rest of the config file was executed.
but waiting for 5-6 minutes to finally see that the miner is actually start to load the openCL drivers and read the rest of the config file...
Is the long waiting period all have to do with the extra setting features in PM?
I understand it has something to do with the pentium (3,3Ghz) CPU I use, but from 10-20 sec to 5-6 minutes waiting is a bit much in my opinion.. Anything I can do to shorten this? without upgrading my CPU..
I also use 16Gb of RAM..
any help much appreciated.
Most likely is nothing to do with the CPU or with the PM software. I had same issue after I try to find best drivers for me they did huge mess in the registry.
Best way to fix this is to do system restore to the point when the Windows was just installed or to do fresh install. Please note in this case you will lost all your files so do backup before instalation.
Another option to speed up could be to uninstall drivers and clean up registry manualy, but I would not recomend it because will speed up but not to the point of fresh installation.
Also you could gain little speed if you use hard disk, by replacing it with SSD.
