cgminer is the best, and can give more then reaper, its have been proven Smiley

Just need to configure right Smiley

using -shaders i get 550kh/s and 99% hardware errors

well i dont have to configure for BTC & LTC and i get the best hashrate and best results without lag on my system cos i use my computer

but when i try to use a configured bat file for LTC with all the correct settings i get lower hashrate and lag  Huh

I find reaper to be the best doin 760Kh/s on my 5970  Wink

protocol litecoin

worksize 256
aggression 16
threads_per_gpu 1
sharethreads 10
lookup_gap 2
gpu_thread_concurrency 5632

Reaper reports higher hashrate compared with cgminer but keep this in mind:

Quote
Now finally, and you can believe me or not on this, but raper sends work to the GPU WITHOUT CHECKING if it was accepted, and gets the return buffer WITHOUT CHECKING if it actually did any work, and then adds the number of hashes it would have expected the GPU to do with that work sent to it. This means that when you start with lots of threads, some of them may not even be doing anything. Or if you've set some borderline invalid values, it will appear to be working fine, report back a big hashrate, but generate less valid shares. So I implore you to check the share rate generation and pretty much ignore the reported hashrate when comparing notes. Remember that cgminer AND raper use virtually identical kernels so should hash at virtually identical rates.

Best bet would be to squeeze (properly) as much performance as you can from both apps, mine with both for few hours and compare share rates as they are reported by the pool.

Use cgminer peeps?

set --shader and go after that instead, that was what i started with on DiCE1904 7970, and he is now getting +700 kh/s on his

Any other suggestions on settings other then that? CG miner always tends to perform (for me) about 10-15% lower then reaper can get. I have tried both the --shader and --thread-concurrency routes.

these settings get 600kh/s+, which is the estimated kh/s rate for one of these cards by their memory bandwidth:

worksize 256
aggression 13
threads_per_gpu 5
sharethreads 18
lookup_gap 2
gpu_thread_concurrency 10240

you need the latest sdk and 12.6+ ati drivers (tried with 12.6 and it works well, not sure about 12.7 but those are probably okay too)
Any time I go above 8192 I get an error saying the buffer is too large or some shit.  How are you guys getting gpu_thread_concurrency above that?

I put 18, the kh went up to around 400, but I had Q:38 A:8

if you go above 12, its will just be stalen Smiley

you have to tweak it pretty much, i got ~700 kh/s out of my bro's 7970 Smiley with -I 12, but with som good tweaks

Share the tweaks, for the good of the cryptocurrency of course.

Reaper config:

Code:
host ltcmine.ru
port 8344
user xxx
pass xxx


protocol litecoin

worksize 256
vectors 1
aggression 20
threads_per_gpu 1
sharethreads 32
lookup_gap 2
gpu_thread_concurrency 24576

Should be able to get 700+ kh/s.  I have a 7950 running this right now and I'm getting 550 kh/s.

i have allways 100% usage on cpu. how i can fix that?  Huh
Use latest cgminer 2.6.1  and run with --scrypt option
I get about 8kh/s on my 7970 with cgminer and --scrypt...
Did you set your shader count?
Once I set shaders, -g and intensity I was up around 260kh/s.
What intensity were you using?
12
Try intensity 18. Smiley
a 7970 can't go above 12 Smiley
Ahh, thought that was only with reaper Sad
sadly no.
Do we have any idea why it can't go above 12?
Well, i'm not sure, så don't hang me op on it, but its something with the hardware, its a very good hardware, and can do very much, and if you set higher then 12, it works to fast, since the privhash-stale thing that would be my guess, but if you tweak it right, it can do over ~700 kh/s, but its not cgminer/reaper toy have to tweak, or yes it is, but more like the gpu you have to tweak right
