Hello everyone,
I have an i7 intel quad core processor and an AMD Radeon HD 4850 series graphics card...I am interested in giving bitcoin mining a go but dont know what the best options for hardware would be for my computer, also noted..i do not pay for electricity. any suggestions?
Since you have a really good processor and an ok graphics cards. I would advice you to mine x11 with your graphics cards and CPU coins with your processor. Mining bitcoin directly would get you no where.
The 4850 is not an OK graphics card, it was released in 2008, it's really old gen.
