Help - I'm only getting half of the expected hash rate

Thanks for your inputs...after several hours of troubleshooting this I am ecstatic to announce the solution: a monitor must be plugged in. Huh

Now I'm getting the hash rate I should be getting for both cards. Only 1 monitor is plugged into 1 card.

I thought that having to have a monitor was no longer an issue, but evidently it is. Now I'm off to find a dummy plug to see if that will suffice. I've been viewing my "screen" through X11VNC...sure beats hauling a monitor around from computer to computer. I'll post back after I've given the dummy plug a try.

Thanks for your help, and I hope this helps you if you're experiencing the same issue.

**UPDATE**: I tried a makeshift dummy plug (http://blog.zorinaq.com/?e=11) with 68 and 82 ohm 1/4W resistors, in all of the possible 4 pins, and it didn't work for me. The only thing that works is plugging in the monitor, starting cgminer, and unplugging the monitor.

I have two 6770's (one XFX, the other Sapphire) and each should get around 200MH. I'm only getting 187MH total.

This is on cgminer 2.11.4 on Xubuntu 12.04 64-bit.

Code:

cgminer -n

On Q (exit), I get:
[2013-04-05 19:24:08] Summary of per device statistics:
[2013-04-05 19:24:08] GPU0 | (5s):0.000 (avg):94.06Mh/s | A:41 R:0 HW:0 U:1.2/m I: 9

Here's the command I run:

Code:

cgminer -o stratum+tcp://stratum.btcguild.com:3333 -u MYUSER -p 123 -o http://pool.50btc.com:8332 -u MYUSER -p 1 -I 9,9

I think maybe GPU 1 is not being used because its temp is only 27. What am I missing?

with your miner running, in another terminal window, type...

Code:

aticonfig --adapter=all --odgc

this will show the load on both your cards. Only one is probably working.

All I can say is "Welcome to the club" Sad

Possible fix is to use a Non-Debian based distro (I still need to test this, I'm thinking there are broken packages somewhere in Deb or Ubuntu)

For sure fix is use Windows (Tested and works)

Looks like it's more than just a couple of us having this problem.
