Your aggression is way too high.  Try with aggression of 12 and increase it by 1 until you hit max hash rate.

Thank you flound1129 and tacotime for your responses.

It was the aggression. Now I've put 13 and worked fine. The only thing is that I think the kH/s are too slow for my card wich I think it sholud be 350:

GPU 5.23kH/s, shares: 394:10, stale 2.475%, GPU errors: 0%, ~ 5.3704 kH/s, 5409s

Is reaper using 100% cpu?

If so, try adding to reaper.conf:

cpu_mining_threads 0

I don't know if it's using 100% cpu. Where can I see that?

I added this line to reaper.conf but moreless i got the same kH/s

I'm getting around 550KH/s on my Diamond HD7970 clocked at 1075MHz with cgminer ...
Same as I'm getting, nice find on the memory clocks. I just confirmed it is the same for me, memory clock speed doesn't change the hashrate for 7970.

Same thing here. I can't get past 550kH/s with my 7970.

No idea how others get 700kH/s and more.

Any ideas?

I don't have a 7970 on hand to test with (if someone wants to let me borrow one, I'd love to try tuning it and then mail it back to them).  Everyone seems to be getting different results for them, and I've only been publishing those from others.

Also, you could always buy one from Amazon and return it Smiley

It looks like your display driver crashed.  You can try it with lower aggression and increase it like he said, and you can also adjust your core and mem clocks to different values.  Alternatively you can also try higher or lower thread_concurrency values and see if they help -- every 7xxx card I've seen can do 18+ aggression if the core and memory clocks are set correctly along with thread_concurrency.

What do you suggest for thread_concurrency?  If I set it much higher, cgminer just errors out:

 [2013-03-12 10:52:07] Maximum buffer memory device 0 supports says 536870912
 [2013-03-12 10:52:07] Your scrypt settings come to 1073741824
 [2013-03-12 10:52:07] Error -61: clCreateBuffer (padbuffer8), decrease CT or in

Just try the "--shaders" setting without the thread concurrency, you can't use both as they override each other. OR, if you are dead set on using a high concurrency (with cgminer), bump up the lookup gap by 1. You lose some performance but can use the high intensities also to make up a bit of that loss.

Also make sure you are up to date on cgminer, there have been a lot of changes made.

Edit : Try whatever your concurrency was above -32 and lookup gap +1. your setting is exactly 2x what your card would work with.

Can't some reasonable settings be calculated by the number of shaders etc?

You need to use reaper for high thread concurrencies, cgminer does not work

thread-concurrency for a 7850 should be between 14000 and 17000

I can't get reaper over 500Kh/sec no matter what configuration I use.  Even overclocking memory and setting "optimal" core/memory ratio.

I much prefer cgminer @ 5% slower & not having to babysit my 7970 miners.

+ I can't do without cgminer features.

I'm getting around 550KH/s on my Diamond HD7970 clocked at 1075MHz with cgminer using the following settigs:

One thing I have noticed is that memory clock appears to have absolutely *no* effect on mining speed.  This seems contrary to what other people have posted.  I've tried clocking memory up to 1575MHz (the max on this card) and down to 750 MHz and there only a few (2-3) KHash/sec variance.

Any suggestions on how to improve my hashrate would be appreciated.

Hi to all!

I'm trying to mine Litecoins but I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I have a 7850, windows 7 and reaperv13beta4_64.

reaper.conf
kernel reaper.cl
save_binaries yes
enable_graceful_shutdown no
long_polling yes
platform 0
device 0

mine litecoin


litecoin.conf
host litecoinpool.org
port 9332
user user.1
pass 1

protocol litecoin

worksize 256
vectors 1
aggression 18
threads_per_gpu 1
sharethreads 16
lookup_gap 2
gpu_thread_concurrency 16384


And this is waht happens:



Any help?

Thanks!

Remove "vectors 1" and try again.

that 0.57 ratio at stock only seemed to net me 1 or 2 more khash if cgminer is displaying right

As it says in the guide, use a ratio of 0.57

I used the exact same settings as in your screenshot (core:1015, mem: 1760, same litecoin.conf), but I only get ~430kH/s with Reaper.

Which version of Reaper are you using?
