^ very interesting idea.

That is often the main difference between an unlocked 6950 and a 6970 (besides possible binning), for instance.


I wonder what adjustments could be made if it was exposed .... I've never found a way to read them.

do you know if he was using 1 thread or 2?
thanks for that list I hope a find a magic one, nuts that 800/790 gives him that much!

16 gigs of system ram for him, wonder if that has anything to do with it... I currently only have 4gb in both 7970 systems until I can order more... I wasn't even able to hash using 1gb of ram.

I get significantly better performance using 2 threads, but then I'm locked to intensity 13 (see my post on cgminer's official thread).

It would be interesting to compare vram timings on boards behaving differently, but I'm not aware of any tool that reads them out from the vga bios.

If I have time I'll try to move the vga in an older system and see if I can get the same hash rates on lower end hardware. Wink

I was thinking Stay Puft, but Gozer said Grover

TacoTime, you're AWESOME!

Thanks for the guide and thanks for all the help.

This is a lot of fun, even with just one GPU going atm, this is fun.

When reporting hash rates do you use what the terminal states or what the pool states?

My terminal states ~565Kh/s
Pool states about 50% of that.
What the terminal states and by the number of shares accepted by the pool.  The pool is subject to variance and usually averages performance by the last 5-10 minutes, so it will appear low for the first 5-10 min.

Thanks.

Now I just have to get all the other GPU's going and I'm off to living in a noisy place.

Ohhh I was being stupid and assuming the ' Top Support Articles ' would have the newest beta driver.  Thanks!

Hm.

Yeah, I'm still on 7 x64.

13.3?

I can't find that one yet, I only see various 13.2 betas. Did it come from the main website?
I dont know, in the driver finder selecting windows 8 64bit (perhaps not for other versions yet?). Its posted 3/15/13.

It looks like you swapped the contents of reaper.conf and litecoin.conf, if I had to guess.

Be sure to move the litecoin-reaper.cl file over if you want to mine litecoin, too.


I copied the host line from the pool and he had the port at the end of the line so I left it as is.

I entered it as port [xxxx] and it works.

The rest is a pool issue with getting work.

Thanks for your help.

Got IT!  I copied the host line from the pool and he had the port at the end of the line so I left it as is.

Yeah, I missed that it was malformed there.  Hopefully now it will work!

This is with litecoin.conf and reaper.conf in the same directory? (you can see both when you run 'ls'?)

No for the first.

I wised up and copied reaper from build to the directory with the litecoin.conf and reaper.conf files, restarted from root terminal and I get this.

Just wanna report that 13.3 seems to yield roughly 15khs increase for me vs 13.2. On 7950s.

Yeah....720 is decent from that GCN, though. Also, these memory management revisions they are supposedly working on and releasing in 13.2 might have strange results.


I'm going to test on the only vliw4 cards (not gcn though, so I doubt these 13.2 revisions will have any influence) I have and one 5.
