Use cgminer and these settings
--scrypt -I 19 --shaders 1792 --thread-concurrency 8960 -g 1
Should get 500+ kh/s
also try --thread-concurrency of 17920, may be a little faster
for the 7xxx series you must always use -g 1 to achieve high intensities

Hum, that's strange, that's 5x the number of SPUs which should work. You can try the 7970 setting of --thread-concurrency 10240, I don't know why that wouldn't work.

That is the normal error for incorrect buffer sizes though. I wonder why it doesn't work?

Also --lookup-gap should always be 2, but that's the default

i try use reaper v13 beta 4 x64 with that settings :
worksize 64
aggression 20
threads_per_gpu 1
lookup_gap 5
gpu_thread_concurrency 8192

its work , but only 240~220 kH/s for HD7950OC i think is too little.
my old HD6950 reached ~360 kH/s

but i stil lito to use cgminer
i try same worksize , thread_concurrency and lookup_gap but again fail.

Your aggression seems like it's too high try this in cgminer or reaper
worksize 64
aggression 13
threads_per_gpu 4 (or 2 or 1)
sharethreads 18
lookup_gap 2
gpu_thread_concurrency 8192

105~130kH/s - going low

...... already thinking to drop mining LTC ......

Ok I found my issue, cgminer.conf was conflicting and it overrides the command line settings! So check your config file and make sure things like work size and intensity etc match what youre attempting on the command line. Currently cranking along at 203kh/s on my 5770 w/intensity 18, working on tuning the 6970 still it overheats way to easy and forces the machine to reboot.

Got it to work, thank you to everyone who donated and helped with improving the miner. I really appreciate it. Will donate some coins come friday

The highest I got with my 5770 is ~190KH, with intensity 18, concurrency 3500, old version without shaders option using the latest Catalyst pack this actually works but it gives me weird crashes.

I even got to 200KH with slight overclocking. (You gotta overclock engine and memory by the same amount to get results)
It's too bad since the latest driver even fixes the 100% cpu bug but apparently isn't really stable.

Those are low numbers. My 6850 can pull 262 kh/s at intensity 17, and my 5770 can pull 207 kh/s at intensity 18.

First gpu is 6850, 2nd is 5770:

Code:

--worksize 128,256 --gpu-engine 900,885 --gpu-memclock 500,1235 --shaders 960,800 -g 1 --intensity 13,17

Yes both my cards have a core overclock, 5770 likes small overclocks, but 50mhz+ on both core and memory drops hashrate (?).

And yes on my 6850 I am downclocking the memory to 500, it doesn't change my hashrate. AT ALL.

Thanks Tittiez for sharing that. I cant get over 158kh/s even using your same command line options on my 5770. I guess until the voodoo gets worked out of this I can live with the hash rate on this and my 6970 being 158/306 kh/s.

I tried these settings and a couple others and still can't get it over ~145 kh/s. I am wondering if this is being caused by my using a x1-x16 riser cable on the 5770. I am going to switch things around and see if that makes a difference.

Has anyone got more then 207kh/s out of a 5770?

I can't get more than ~145 kh/s out of mine. I am currently running it in a box with a 6870. The 6870 is getting ~300 kh/s. I start CGMiner with the following command.

Code:

$ ./cgminer --scrypt -o http://litecoinpool.org:9332 -u XXX -p XXX -g 1 --thread-concurrency 7840,8000 -I 20,16

This is with the default clocks. I did try a little overclocking but it still would not go over ~147 kh/s. I am running Kubuntu on this box.

Those are low numbers. My 6850 can pull 262 kh/s at intensity 17, and my 5770 can pull 207 kh/s at intensity 18.

First gpu is 6850, 2nd is 5770:

Finally, if you think the coins will never be worth the electricity paid for them, you have a pretty pessimistic outlook, why bother at all if the damn things will never be worth that much?

Why pay $10 electric for 1 BTC when you can buy them for $9 on MtGox?

Going this way network will be down in matter of days - no miners, everyone want to buy, but noone to close blocks.

No, because other miners can still get 1 BTC for $8 of electricity or less Wink

Insane miners? Don't see any reason to kill hardware for such a miserable profit. They can't even buy a toilet paper with this.

Not all miners have this ability mind you. The suggestion was for those (i'm guessing) that are spending more money paying for electricity than to just outright buy it.
