[Ethereum] Mining with Laptop with only one graphic card

gpumining

I have HP Elitebook 8460p with Radeon GPU and without additional integrated intel graphics in CPU. Is it possible to run GPU mining on it?

You need a minimum of 2GB VRAM to mine ether. Since the laptop you mention has only 1GB of VRAM in the Radeon, then no, you cannot mine ether. As for other cryptocurrencies, you will get abysmal hash rates (speed at which you mine) so it won't be worth it.

You'd need a beefier GPU for mining to be worth your while. Here's an example of ether mining on a laptop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8OgNTOsRfQ
