Dreamliner Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) Both of my graphics cards have noisy capacitors which indicate the card is under load (power distribution to 2x300w cards lel) - I started the osbot client and heard one of the cards fire up. Strange. Would you care to explain? I'm not pointing fingers, but GPU usage points to bitcoin mining. As of today, this is extremely inefficient and a waste of electricity. pls stop increasing my power bill.

Nezz Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Good thing I donated 500 dollars to them. So they can use my laptop to mine bitcoins. cool. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysteryy Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) Ask yourself, does the game have graphics? Answer: Yes What further explanation do you need? OSB is a graphical user interface, hence it uses graphic processing power. When you have a graphics card installed, your integrated graphics is useless, and your card will take over. Thus your graphics card is doing all of the work. This isn't a surprise that your card usage is going up.

Ericthecmh Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Ask yourself, does the game have graphics? Answer: Yes What further explanation do you need? A lot more. If RS used opengl/directx, maybe the graphics card will be used. But it doesn't. The graphics calculations are done with CPU cycles. I have a graphics card in my desktop and it's never went above 10% load while botting. I'd test the new client, except I'm at home right now and my desktop is in my dorm. Laz, explain please. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotoriousPP Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Yea I'm now asking this too, I've checked 2 different clients, and OSBot uses the most GPU by far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cant use a graphics card and integrated graphics in tandem, so the card will be doing all of the work. Correct me if I am wrong. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was under the impression that the way rs07 was coded didn't use the graphics card, not in software mode, which is what's being used. So... this is really really odd. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is all that I can think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamliner Posted June 24, 2014 Author Share Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) Hell, if we could use our graphics cards to render 07, we'd be able to run far, FAR more bots than we do now.

Battlefield 4 doesn't even use 50% of my GPU What is really concerning me is how large of a botnet we're currently part of. Especially if this bitcoin shit is going down.

Hell, if this is what it looks like, at least optimize it to use both of my cards instead of one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Laz, you better share some of those bitcoins :P Haha we'll see what Laz says tomorrow. I doubt it's actually bitcoin mining though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
