Topic: Consolidated Litecoin Mining Guide for 5xxx, 6xxx, and 7xxx GPUs - page 18. (Read 624200 times)

I used http://forum.litecoin.net/index.php/topic,1430.0.html (linuxNoob's illustrated step-by-step) to get started with the CPU  mining, which instructed me to be running the run_p2pool.exe Stratum/RPC thingy? so that's running while my CPU miner (ScryptMiner GUI) chugs away.  So, i started up CGminer, and figured it'd just point it at the stratum proxy as well, but while it's showing me now around 130kH/s in my cgminer dosbox, i don't see that reflected in the run_p2pool.exe dosbox, or on the status webpage

Are you trying to run a p2pool node (you wrote that you ran run_p2pool.exe) or use p2pool.org (which is used in the command-line you gave)? If you don't have low latencies with the p2pool node you use you will not get the most of it.
See the guide in my signature if you need details.

Noticed that just about everyone on this thread is using Windows, except for Grover who had a few Linux questions. As someone thinking of building a LTC rig, why is everyone using Windows instead of something like BAMT, Linuxcoin, or Debian?

Thanks,

Howdy! Looking for a little command line guidance for cgminer.  Win7-64bit, cgminer, MSI 6770.

 Trying to mine on p2pool (which i'm already doing on CPU with scryptminerGUI and run_p2pool.exe)but seeing odd results.

Also, I can't seem to get Afterburner to let me adjust card settings anymore, and the AMD vision control center won't even launch...


cgminer --scrypt -o http://p2pool.org -u user -p password --thread-concurrency 3200 -I 18 -g 1 -w 256

that's the launch command i'm using...


and this is weird. it's showing my avg hashrate as 98.9Mh/s..which can't be right, since the pool hashrate is only like 70Mh/s?


ok, found a longer commandline iwth more options that seems to work. getting around 125.6Kh/s now...seeing a lot of rejected shares tho, like 800 accepted, 300 rejected ratio...seems high...

I seem to have things working pretty well now with acceptable heat and power usage.
 One question though - not all my ram is being used. I thought to be optimised LTC mining should be using the full amount of video card RAM. Currently 2362 MB out of 3072 MB is used.
Is that to do with thread concurrency?

My settings are as follows:

Command line:
cgminer.exe --scrypt --config gml.conf --shaders 2048 --thread-concurrency 8192 -I 13 -g 2 -w 256

Config file:
pool config
pool config
pool config

"expiry" : "120",
"failover-only" : true,
"log" : "5",
"queue" : "1",
"scan-time" : "60",
"temp-hysteresis" : "3",

I originally had all the GPU info in the config file about fan settings etc but have now set MSI Afterburner to handle that.
GPU settings:
950/1425MHZ @1.025v (reports as 1.05v with GPUZ)
Fans are hovering around 72% at 72C.

That gives me a stable 1.26MH/s.

Hello,

I am having some issues mining LTC...

Win 7 Pro, 64 bit.
2 x NV GTX 570 cards (i know, I know...but lets not get into why AMD is better, these are the cards I have right now)

I have guiminer-scrypt set up like:

Reaper Miner
Host: notroll.in
Port: 6332
username: (my username)
Pass: (my password)
Thread concurrency: 1
Worksize: 256
Vectors: 1
Intensity: 10
GPU Threads: 1

I click start, GUIMiner reads "Connecting" and begins racking up Invalid shares.
It never reads "connected", it just continues gaining Invalid shares, no Stale or Valid ones.

Thread concurrency is too low, increase thread concurrency

well if you follow the instruction was given on the thread you would achieve the results that i did, it may deffer from a model to another, the thing that was not mentioned here was the importance of the motherboard , for some reason i cannot get the same results with the same settings in different motherboards with the same model of graphic cards.


i wont be an ass-hole i will put my settings here , try them if they work for you , try to play around if you are crashing to get them stable but my machines are now working without a problem after having a hard time trying to get them stable.

i have a Gigabyte GA990FXA-UDP5, 4 x ATI sapphire DUAL-X, Windows 7 Ultimate X64 , AMD Catalyst 13.3 Beta, AMD FX6100 Six-Core, 8GB 1600 MHz DDR3, OCZ 64 GB SSD

1- first download Driver Fusion to get completely rid of your old drivers (even from registry) than install your new drivers
2- this is an important step as well , go to control panel and to power options and choose High performance (so you can eliminate PCI-E power limitations)
3- set your cards with MSI after burner at these settings core 1070MHz/1060mV , memory 1750Mhz/1640mV.
4- Use cgminer 2.11.2 with this command : --shaders 2048 --thread-concurrency 8192 -I 13 -g 2 -w 256 (make sure to delete any .bin before starting)

5- enjoy your hash rate , and threw some LTCs on me address:  LguVfG3Q4yW5LTDuaqrszCDFCh9RoCo46g

I primarily develop cgminer on linux so it definitely works fine there. I make it work on windows as well since so many people use windows. The fact is it works just as well on windows, and most users already are running windows, so that's how they get started, and they never even bother considering linux. Add to that extra overclocking and voltage control applications in windows that linux doesn't have, making it hard for them to care for the stability, security and other features that make linux suitable for dedicated mining rigs. However, linux users tend to read documentation and experiment for themselves till it's all working fine.

There are Linux users mining LTC all right, just that they don't usually ask so many questions.
You can mine just fine using both systems.
