Good to know, glad I asked. Grin

On my workstation, I was experimenting with all the different GPU miners. Some that you CPU mine and GPU mine and the total hash is much less. So far though, the DiabloMiner seems to be best one because I can CPU mine and GPU mine at the same time with a actual net gain with the two at the same time.

Thanks for taking the time to answer my question, keep up the great work.

I read all 27 pages of this topic Wink

Sorry if this is an obvious question, no one asked as far as I could tell. Once you have the DiabloMiner connected to your bitcoin server, does the server have to be actively mining at the same time with the CPU or can it just sit connected the p2p network with everyone else in the world? I ask since I'm running the bitcoin server and DiabloMiner on the same machine at the same time. Works fine, without BTC being generated anytime soon in the near future, can't tell if it's working as it should. Grin

Not only does it not need to be mining, CPU mining on machines that are also GPU mining can slow GPU mining down. Its also a waste of time, money, and electricity.

The bitcoin server does not need to be generating coins. If you were to specify that it should be generating coins, it would be generating them on the server's CPU, which is not at all efficient. Just set up bitcoind as a server and point your miner to it.

two 5870s, CC 11.5, SDK 2.1, on Debian testing.

i don't know yet how much faster it is than your pre-BFI_INT release.

but a lot.

i'm putting in some extra fans and a rheostatic fan speed controller - it's so damn fast that i have to clock it down right now to keep temps under 85.

so going from the old version, max volted at 300 MemClock and 900 GPUClock, to the new version down-volted by almost 0.2, MemClock at 315 and GPUClock at 850; i picked up a bit over 100 Mh/s.

i'll have the new fans and controller in tomorrow. i have another box that i've experimented with fans on - just a single 5870, but i've learned a bit. i'm hoping for a maxed-out setup on the dual box, running at well under 75 degrees. we'll see.

At stock 850, 2 5870 should be in the neighborhood of 740 using -v 2 -w 128 on SDK 2.1.

BFI_INT adds around 10%.

pretty much.

i'm getting 746-748.

i'm hoping that once i get the voltage back up, and the GPUClock at 900 again, i'll be somewhere considerably closer to 800Mh/s.

by the way, Diablo - do you agree with the formula (picked up somewhere on this forum...) that the sweet spot for MemClocks is very close to:

GPUClock/3 + 14

?

so now we know, Diablo...

i've got my two 5870s pushed up to 1.1v (still a little room to grow, there), 900 GPU, and 315 Mem.

your mid-march version - 655 Mhash/sec.

your just pre-DustinEwan version - 797 Mhash/sec Shocked

and running at 65 C now, too...

i'll be trying out the very latest (today's) version on another box, tonight.

EDIT: forgot to mention... using -v 2 -w 256 -f 2

So im a super noob to all of this and i don't code or anything but i read about bitcoins and want to start potentially investing. I downloaded the lint for my mac and started "generating coins"? I have 7 connections and 125592 blocks but nothing in my balance and 0 transactions. SO i downloaded both doable miner and roc and signed up at http://mining.bitcoin.cz and registered a miner but when i tried to launch diablo i entered something wrong and it just spams "Error: cant connect to bitcoin: "address"...... and thats it. i restart and try to enter Y to reconfigure but it wont let me so i have no idea what to do now. Thanks for any help

So, I rebooted to Windows, something I haven't done since Bush was President...

5850@765, 11.5a (using included 2.4 runtime)

-v 2 -w 128: 280 mhash
-v 3 -w 128: 294 mhash

phoenix BFI_INT VECTORS WORKSIZE=128 AGGRESSION=13: 284 mhash
phatk same args: 294 mhash

-v 3 -w 128 -f 30: 302 mhash

... *ahem*. Windows, you fucking bastard. And thats vs the 300 some I get with -v 2 -w 128 on 2.1 in Linux (aka the holy grail).

Basically, as far as I can tell, my default of -f 60 is letting the Windows fail leak through.

So, there, I beat phatk with all of my might.

Windows WDDM driver model include[notable] end-to-end TPM/HDCP encryption overhead to GPU workload. in scale, similar to mesured[for this GPU].
if thats SO critical, use Windows XP/XP64[WinFoundation for legacy PC's can use WDDM in latest versions].

ITYM use Linux.

I wonder if phatk only works well on specific Catalyst releases. No matter what I try, phatk scores the same as phoenix -k poclbm (which both are always slower than real poclbm and mine).

If I can't make phatk run as fast as its supposed to, I can't replicate it's techniques.

I'm running 11.5a hotfix right now if that helps any, I honestly have no clue why your machine doesn't care for phatk's improvements. Heck I've tried to run 2.1 SDK and it never seems to be better then 2.4 with poclbm in GUI Miner.

11.5 may or may not have changes in the hardware shader compiler (the thing that takes the output from the GLSL and OpenCL compilers and produces hardware-specific instructions). I'm looking forward to bitching about how its not nearly as good as 10.9-10.11.

Most people just do -u minerusername -p minerpassword -o hostname -r port. mtred seems to have an IRC channel.

Tried that syntax and still getting the error. Thanks for all your help - I'm going to ask around the IRC channel!

Erm, if you're connecting to someone else's pool, you don't add anything to bitcoin.conf, and you don't even need bitcoin running.

Oh, I'm a total bitcoin newb here. So I don't need anything additional to connect to a pool like http://mtred.com/?

The default RPC port on Bitcoin is 8332 not 8337, and if you're connecting to a remote machine you need to add rpcallowip to the bitcoin.conf.

Thanks for the response

I checked and 8337 is the port for the pool I'm trying to connect to. I added

Code:

rpcallowip=69.172.229.136:8337
rpcallowip=69.172.229.136

to bitcoin.conf and am still getting the error. Do you think it could be anything else?
