Topic: [ANN] YACMiner - AMD GPU miner for Scrypt-Chacha, N-Scrypt, and Scrypt coins - page 10. (Read 47386 times)

You need more system ram...I use 8gb for my 4 r7 240 2gb cards and get 2.35kh/s out of each.

lookup-gap 3 did the trick for me and my sapphire crap cards.

Ok here is where we are at now:

The following yields 1.8khs with U: 1.5 avg:
--lookup-gap 4 --xintensity 32 --scrypt-chacha -g 1 --buffer-size 1708

The following yields 1.795khs with U: 1.76 avg:
--lookup-gap 4 --xintensity 32 --scrypt-chacha -g 1 (allowing the card to set buffer size results in 1496mb usage)

The following yields .6khs with U: 0 (didn't accept a share in 2 minutes so stopped it):
--lookup-gap 13 -R 1280 --scrypt-chacha -g 1 --buffer-size 1704

So I feel like this is much closer to being right on but I'm wondering how we can get it over the 2khs mark...I'm also running the following:

--worksize 256 --gpu-engine 1100 --gpu-memclock 1000 --gpu-powertune 20

Forgot to include that...

Of course it does.  2GB is not enough to run a lookup-gap of 2.  You didn't post your buffer-size setting, so I'm guessing, but depending on how much memory you can allocate, you can run LG=4 or LG=3 with a reduced -R parameter (might be faster).  So, try a buffer-size of 1712 and LG=13.  If you can't allocate a BS of 1712, allocate as much as you can and start lowering your R until you stop getting HW errors.  Then, so long as you can allocate at least 1280 for buffer-size, try again with a lookup-gap of 4 and -xI of 32 instead of -R 1280.  Then pick whichever setting gives the higher hashrate and pay attention to your U: value.

If you can't allocate 1280, well, that's a whole different set of problems...

Hoping maybe you can help me out...
I have an ASUS R7 240 with 320 shaders and 2GB ram. My system has 3gb of RAM total. Running Ubuntu and thats the only thing running. Any combination I try, the best I can get is a 1:6 ratio of errors to accepts.


--worksize 256 --gpu-engine 1100 --gpu-memclock 1000 --gpu-powertune 20 --no-submit-stale --lookup-gap 2 -R 1280 --scrypt-chacha -g 1

That goes straight into HW immediately. Any ideas?

That exact config should _not_ give HW errors for Microcoin.  Lookup-Gap 6, Buffer-size 670, raw intensity (-R) 3840 is likely the top config for that card.

As you said, I removed multiple pools from config, then make some progress, YACminer return both A and HW instead of HW only.

-lookup-gap 6 --buffer-size 670 -R 3840:
get 15Kh/s , return A and HW

-lookup-gap 5 --buffer-size 670 -R 3840:
get 17kh/s, return A and HW

The config file is:

The pool is all right because of my 280x machines working fine, and its N=12 .

Thank you for your patience, I'm not so good at English, and really in trouble with the config.  I'm so sorry if there were any misunderstanding.
I appreciate YACminer and try to use it with my 7850s, that's it.

I'm considering whether to use "-g 2" cooperating with other parameters could solve the HW issue?

Thanks.

If you're only getting 3.8KH/sec and HW errors abound, it sounds like you're mining a pool at NF=14 (look on the pool connection line, look for NF=XX).  The settings I gave you are for NF=12, if you're on an NF=14 coin, then they will not work.  I pasted those exact settings on my machine with a 7850 1GB card and it hashed properly.

You're leaving out something important (like multiple pools configured, and not configured properly) or have something wrong with your machine, or are just trolling us.  Run with your settings, hit "S" to bring up the settings menu, then "W" to write out a config.  Save it to some file and paste the ENTIRE contents here.

  for the win

and driver version... if it's 14.x we have a winner (well, loser)

Post your system specs please...ram, board, cpu, gpus. 

It get the same result: no message, around 3.8Kh , only HW return.

My config:
yacminer -o stratum+tcp://mrcus.nut2pools.com:6000 -u abc -p abc --nfmin 4 --nfmax 30 --starttime 1389028879 --scrypt-chacha --worksize 128 -g 1 --lookup-gap 6 --buffer-size 670 -R 3840 --device 5 --temp-target 80 --temp-overheat 90

So confused   

If you're allocating less memory, you have to raise the lookup-gap or lower the intensity.  If you cant only get it started at BS=670, then try lookup-gap 6 and -R 3840

I tried "--device 5" and get it working on about 3K speed when "--buffer-size 670", but only get HW. Even I tried "--buffer-size 480" but no A showing up. There's no message come up.

That config I post was working for MRC when N=10. Means last and last N-factor. My mistake.

Start working with 1 device at a time "--device 0".  Lower the "--buffer-size" a bit until you get the device to start.  If there's no errors and warnings, that's likely the best place to start - if you get messages, I would need to know what it's saying.  That config you posted does not look like it would have worked well for any coin at N=11, and certainly won't at N=12.

Thank you very much for your suggestion.

It still doesn't work. The DOS window does show up and list 6 rigs , 0 K for each one. and the system don't work for a while, then the DOS window close itself or I have to reboot the system.

there's my config for the last n-factor that working fine:
-o stratum+tcp://mrcus.nut2pools.com:6000 -u abc -p abc --scrypt --Nfmin 4 --Nfmax 30 --StartT 1389028879 --queue 0 --scan-time 2 --expiry 4 -I 10 -g 1 --thread-concurrency 8192 --lookup-gap 2 --shaders 1024 --temp-target 80 --temp-overheat 90

Could you please give me some further advice?

yacminer --scrypt-chacha --worksize 128 -g 1 --lookup-gap 5 --buffer-size 706 -R 3456 -o stratum+tcp://: -u -p --nfmin 4 --nfmax 30 --starttime 1388361600

I'm mining MRC and UTC, try for 2 hours, still can't figure out the config for my 7850 rig.

6 * MSI 7850 1G, with 8G system memery.

Any help please.

Thank you, i will try those settings. Cheers

p.s. 10x for advice

Not worth it to mine yac with it...I can do 4kh/s but you'd make more money mining something else with 280x cards.

Config:

yacminer --scrypt-chacha -R 4424 -g 1 --buffer-size 2560 --lookup-gap 7 --worksize 256 --gpu-engine 1000 --gpu-memclock 1500 --temp-cutoff 95 --gpu-fan 0-100 --auto-gpu --temp-target 75 --temp-overheat 85 -o stratum+tcp://yac.coinmine.pl:9088 -u ivanlabrie.1 -p x

Someone is mining YAC with 280x ? I need a example configs for: OS Win7(x64), 10GB RAM
My videocard has 3GB Ram

Appreciate any example
