for some reason, 13.4 gives teamviewer black screen. haven't tried 13.5
I have this problem after remote catalyst update.

I have this problem after remote catalyst update.
how to solve it?
I really wish there was a sure-fire way of tweaking my scrypt hashing with my 7870. At this point it's mostly easter-egging and I hate it.
got a bunch of 7870s I was going to move to scrypt - figure anything out yet?
-Snip-
I appreciate your post, But im really looking to use 100% of my GPU, Rather than have 30% core power just sitting there idling...
Has ANYONE with a GCN card played a videogame without flaws while mining on 13.5?
JackRabiit, what are your settings in CGMiner? I can Play World of Tanks at 1080p Max settings at 40 FPS using "-I 12 -g 1" using my 7970 (and still get 450 Kh/s or so). Usually I mine with "-g2", but running that during games totally screws my frame rate, even with lower intensity. FYI, I am running the 13.4 drivers on a Sapphire Radeon 7970 OC Boost edition.
are you scrypt mining an alt coin? Why do you have a " -g " argument with the intensity at 12 and getting 450Kh/s? my 7950 gets 560MH/s
Im trying to mine bitcoins while gaming... Thanks anyways! Im sure your post is still very helpful!
Here is my CGMiner.conf file (with some things censored)
Code:
{
"pools" : [
{
"url" : "--------",
"user" : "---------",
"pass" : "------"
},

}
]
,

"shares" : "0",
"kernel-path" : "/usr/local/bin"
}Also, That is the most valuble First Post i have ever seen (that isnt from a mod/admin)
Edit: OHHH, the -G command is you setting it to One GPU thread
Edit2: Is there a way to change the number of threads via a shortcut argument or an In Program way to change it? I tried adding -g 1 at the end, but that did nothing, I also tried --gpu-threads 1 and that didnt work either, Leading me to believe that Im messing it up
"C:\cgminer\cgminer-3.1.0-windows\cgminer-3.1.0-windows\cgminer.exe --gpu-threads 1" is what i tried, aswell as
"C:\cgminer\cgminer-3.1.0-windows\cgminer-3.1.0-windows\cgminer.exe -g 1"
Any reports on how well the Mining While Gaming works?
On 13.2 my hashrates went to SHIT when i ran a game, on 12.8 that just didnt happen

that sounds like a terrible idea from the get-go
Really, it's not. The game uses what it needs, the rest goes to the mining. It's like sharing.

Weird.
And ouch, had to put up a bounty.

I only game a few hours a week, and I don't feel comfortable mining and gaming at the same time (way too many crashes on a 7850 before), so I just have a batch script that lets me pause mining while I game, and then I re-enable it when I'm done:
Put into the Startup folder this creates two CLI windows - one of the miner itself (DiabloMiner is CLI) that I can close anytime, and then another that asks me if I want to resume mining (batch script).
I mine and work all the time though across 12.3 - 13.3+ drivers. Video works fine too. I have to turn off hardware acceleration on Firefox though.
Code:
:top
start /wait /i /affinity 0x02 DiabloMiner-Windows.exe --args ...
goto top

13.4 was a crashfest, 13.5 is fine, 13.3 is still the fastest for me (7970)
13.5 works for you? Could you please attempt to run a videogame while mining? (something that takes atleast 20% gpu)I tried the 13.5beta and got Shit.
You say that 13.3 is the "fastest" (obviously for mining) Can you run a game while mining? (again, something that takes more than 20% gpu)
I would PAY, for the information of WHAT (new) FUCKING DRIVERS WILL ALLOW MY 7950 TO MINE AND GAME AT THE SAME TIME
I am SICK of 12.8
I had to revert back to 13.1, dual cards and 13.5 did not get along at all.
for some reason, 13.4 gives teamviewer black screen. haven't tried 13.5
13.4 was a crashfest, 13.5 is fine, 13.3 is still the fastest for me (7970)
Same with 5780 cards it seems.
Staying on the old one

hi guys i have problem cant mining " Verification Failed, Check Hardware " what should i do ?
Did everyone see a decrease in performance? Would like to hear win7 32/64 cgminer 3.1 experiences.
I lost nothing but the ability to game and mine at the same time, Win7 64bit, CGminer 3.0I tested 13.4 but my bitcoin hashrate dropped from 630 MH/s to 560 MH/s. Also after that I was unable to uninstall the drivers and revert back to 13.1 (even with driver sweaper). Cgminer was also crashing upon startup. I had to reinstall Windows 7 64 bit to get all fixed. Using Sapphire 7950 boost OC @925 MHz stock version (of course my GPUs are overclocked over these values).
I do not know how is on Linux but if you have similar setup, just do not bother with 13.4.
Thank you guys
@pekv2 Yes, I know for imaging but I just didn't have imaging software around and decided not to bother downloading. Anyway Windows 7 reinstall with drivers + miner, gpu-z etc took me ~30 minutes
I lost quite some time however trying to debug why can't properly downgrade to 13.1 and also searching what changed so the MHash/s speed in 13.4 got down. Failed on both fronts and just reinstalled
@Spotter Thank you, it seems like a good guide and I bookmarked it for future reference.

Well, I just tried the new drivers while gaming, CRASHES CGMINER EVERY FUCKING TIME after some time of running.
Im STILL fucking stuck on 12.8!!!!
I REALLY fucking want some new drivers, What The Fuck!

What cards are you mining/gaming with?

Hi, If you uninstall ATI/AMD drivers use this tutorial. It helped me.

Why post this here when there is a cgminer thread? But anywho, nope, I didn't see an increase nor a decrease with my setup.
