After updating to the newest version, it gives me a "FATAL kernel error: GPU not supported! phatk2 is designed for ATI 5xxx and newer only. Try -k poclbm instead." error when using phoenix.
I have an NVIDIA GTX 260 and using the previous version of GUIMiner, I had no problem with mining with phoenix. In fact, it gave me around 5 Mhash/s more than OpenCL.

And since you didn't get around to implementing my last requests, I'll just post them again..

1. The ability to remember previously used flags. There could just be a drop down menu button next to the text input field.
2. The ability to minimize to the task bar instead of only just the tray. (and when you press the X button, for it to actually close, not minimize to the tray) Options, please!
3. Also, regarding my request for keeping the window the same size and position when restarting the program - the same position is kept, however, the size still reverts to default. I have the window stretched a little more than default, horizontally, however, when I restart the program, it still goes back to the same default size. But the positioning of the window is fixed.
4. When I press refresh balance for the first time and it asks me for my token, please make it so that the "(paste token here)" is pre-highlighed or allow it to become fully highlighted by triple clicking on it.
5. If you do add the ability to minimize GUIMiner to the task bar instead of only to the tray, could you make it so that it displays the MH/s in the title of the program, so that it is shown in the task bar. I'm not sure if you have ever used utorrent (I'm guessing you're familiar with it), just like how on utorrent you can have it so that it shows your up and down speed in the title bar, that's what I want with GUIMiner. For it to have the MH/s in the title bar, at the beginning of it (because if it's at the end of the title bar - ie after "GUIMiner - v2011-07-01" - then there won't be enough room to display it in the task bar.

So basically, I want it to be like this:
"##MH/s - GUIMiner - v2011-##-##"

Thanks for reading and your consideration.

I'm pretty sure backup pools work with the Phoenix miner's as well.  There's a -b flag you can set a fail-over pool, though I don't believe there's failback.  I can't say for certain it works because my primary pool (Ars) hasn't been down in a while.

How to use a backup pool aka fallback support:

Fallback support is in the OpenCL miner only. In the flags, specify the info of the backup pool or pools. For example if I want to fallback to my account on slush's pool, I would write:

Kiv.GPU:[email protected]:8332
When you do this do you pass a flag?  In other posts it looks like --backup=   is used.  Do we to specify that in the flags? as in --backup=Kiv.GPU:[email protected]:8332

If you dont know yet, Catalyst 11.7 Drivers give you a Noteable increse in hash rates. 11.8 Are out aswell.

Aren't there major problems with 11.7 & 11.8 vs 11.6?

I used deslok's suggestion.

Ive downloaded the latest version and whenever I try to run with Phoenix, I get "FATAL kernel error: GPU not supported! phatk2 is designed for ATI 5xxx and newer only. Try -k poclbm instead" when running it on my GTS250 (it worked fine before).

Help?

Okay this is a strange bug but I can see the miner pogram any more,

the window refuses to show up. and no its not minimised,

Restarted my computer and did a crap load of things. I still dont get the window.

If you have a few cards mining with dummy plugs, guiminer might be opening up on the dummy plug "monitor" as such there is no monitor but a virtual screen you cannot see.

Happened to me, I disabled w/e adapter in CCC, then guiminer popped up on my main monitor.

Edit:

Of course, re enable it.

Ok, now I can confirm an increase with the new version. I had to change my driver to 11.6 and sdk to 2.4 because I have added a second card, in which I was using 10.11 with sdk 2.1 resulted bad results with the newer guiminer.

So anyone that finds a decreased performance in newest guiminer, update your driver and SDK.

I'm doin' fine on cloud 9

So, I've been running guiminer on Windows 7 with 11.6 for awhile now and it's been pretty stable.

I just upgraded to the 08xx release and the mining speeds are all over the place. When I first start it up, I actually get more MH/s than I ever have, but within 10-15 minutes I drops to around half. The only way I can pick it up is to totally restart.

I'm back to trying 0701 again, but of course it's slower.

What can I look at to start troubleshooting? Normally I only see slowdowns if I've got Youtube open in Firefox or something else that uses Flash. That is not the case now.
