Ok thanks, so I should be able to use bfgminer with my GPU?  Any ideas why it would not be working for [me](http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/q/17990/10116)?

Theoretically yes.Although I would not recommend it because you would land up spending more on power than the returns that you would get from your Intel HD 4000.

Yes, I understand that, however I would like to run it anyhow as a test, as a precursor to purchasing an ASIC device. My GPU is not being recognised however, hence my other [question](http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/q/17990/10116).

So why do I get `Disabled.Drivers.....: bfsb cpu knc metabank opencl:sensors proxy:getwork` and `To enable opencl:sensors, install libsensors` at the end of `./configure --enable-opencl`?

it can't get GPU temps on Mac that's normal. Just use -S opencl:auto when you start or try http://fabulouspanda.co.uk/macminer/

<p>I just read this <a href="https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/17980/10116">answer</a> which states that GPU mining support was removed from cgminer as of version 3.7.2.</p>

<p>Does anybody know what version of bfgminer needs to be used to support GPU mining.  </p>

<p>I am currently using bfgminer 3.8.0. On Mac OSX 10.8.5, with an Intel HD Graphics 4000 GPU.</p>

# GPU support on cgminer and bfgminer

(Asked by: username_0 on 2013-12-04)

I just read this [answer](https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/17980/10116) which states that GPU mining support was removed from cgminer as of version 3.7.2.

Does anybody know what version of bfgminer needs to be used to support GPU mining.

I am currently using bfgminer 3.8.0. On Mac OSX 10.8.5, with an Intel HD Graphics 4000 GPU.
