Windows... uuurgh... Never mind... I'll try it tomorrow with my 5XXX cards... Tks anyway!

What cards? And the guide, when it comes down to configurating the cards, works the same way. I'm just explaining how to use --shaders.

The guide won't have sureset settings for every card guys. Wow if I had that kinda time... no it explains how to set up cgminer, and it gives some insight as to finding the best settings.

I'm working on an idiots guide to setting up cgminer. Stay tuned.

Lets improve this: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/compiling-cgminer-with-scrypt-on-top-of-ubuntu-1204-for-7970s-95718 Huh

To 5XXX and 6XXX cards?!

Cheers!

Its a windows guide, I might make a linux one later on but I've been working my ass off to get this pool up and running.
I'm out for the night. The guide is pretty much done, but the pool isn't exactly ready yet so I'm not releasing the link. Should be done sometime late tomorrow.

Actually I got 30 more minutes in me, if anyone would like to hop onto my pool (its still a beta) for the night and help me make sure everything is working (if things don't work I promise you will still get your coins), PM me.

Please do, my 7770 pulls 20kh/s max on cgminer. I tried playing with it for an hour and gave up. Reaper gets 140kh/s, which also kind of sucks. Mining BTC I get 200MH/s easy.

I don't know individual settings, I'm just simply using the --shaders command in the example and telling people how to use it (mostly hoping it is updated with more witchcraft).

Maybe I'll set up a spreadsheet so people can submit to me settings to add by a google docs/drive form.

See, me hoping for witchcraft:

Quote

--shaders ####
- This tries to choose the best settings for mining scrypt on your graphics cards. It does mathy witchcraft stuff to chooses the best settings for your gpu based on your shaders.
To find the best number for this, look at the table in this post, find your gpu and set this setting as the number of shaders your card has.

It's working now.

5770 850/1200, catalyst 12.4, SDK 2.7

Code:

cgminer.exe -o http://litecoinpool.org:9332 -u username -p password --in
tensity 18 --scrypt --shaders 800 --gpu-platform 1 --thread-concurrency 4000 --w
orksize 256

Is this on Win 7 or Linux?

Interested as I have 2*6770s just sitting around on a win7 doing nothing...pulled from my win 7 + 2* FPGA machine so I can run dedicated BTC and LTC machines

I'm mining on 2*6770 on win 7.. here is my info i use to get the best.. 215 kh/s from both..

Code:

cgminer --scrypt -o http://litecoinpool.org:9332 -u username -p pass --shaders 1536 -I 18 -g 1

Making some headway. Deleted the Nvidia OpenCL files and now I'm getting a "scrypt120724Juniperglg2tc8000w256l4.bin" being created in the cgminer folder. However still the same errors and hash rate.

Now time to fiddle with the thread concurrency manually. Suggest 3200 or other multiples of 800.

I don't want to mine on the Nvidia adapter I want to mine on the ATI adapter. CGminer wants to mine on the Nvidia adapter. The platform switch doesn't seem to do anything.

That does not compute. It should... Huh

From what I see ..

[2012-07-25 17:49:35] Platform 0 devices: 1
[2012-07-25 17:49:35] 0 GeForce GTX 460
[2012-07-25 17:49:35] Platform 1 devices: 1
[2012-07-25 17:49:35] 0 Juniper

They both say "0". That isn't covered in your README that I see so the gpu-map command won't work?

Code:

cgminer.exe -o http://litecoinpool.org:9332 -u username -p password --intensity 4 --scrypt --shaders 800 --gpu-platform 1

Same result as before.

You will still need to read up about the gpu map. However you wont be able to mine on the AMD device and the NVIDIA device from the same cgminer instance regardless; you must choose one platform for each instance of cgminer.

Use --gpu-platform 1 for your AMD device.
