Topic: OFFICIAL CGMINER mining software thread for linux/win/osx/mips/arm/r-pi 4.11.0 - page 334. (Read 5806004 times)

Thanks for the quick response ckolivas!  I've read over the FAQ until my eyes are nearly bleeding and I swear I didn't see anything about this.  I'll check again though.  I've already got dummy plugs in all of the cards, so I guess my next task is to figure out how to revert back to an older driver.  Any suggestions on which one to try, and more importantly how to change it?   

This is screaming of the driver bug where it's only mining on one card as it says in the README FAQ. Might need a driver change or dummy plugs to get out of this mess.

Ok...I'm officially at a loss!  

I have a BTC miner that was running just fine with (2) Gigabyte 7970's in it, so I decided to add (2) Saphire 7970's and it's totally screwed up now! ARGHHH!  The two Gigabyte cards are directly connected to the mobo, and the new Saphire cards are connected via PCIe1X - 16X powered riser cables.  I don't know how, but I was able to get one of the Saphires working for a brief period of time (approximately 10 mins), before things crashed.  Now it seems like cgminer only distributes work to GPU0.  It's running at 99% and the other three are at 0%.  I feel like I'm missing something glaringly obvious.  I was hoping to see 2500+ Mh/s out of this rig, but now I'm stuck at 660 Mh/s.  Anybody got any ideas?  


OS:  Ubuntu 12.10
Miner:  cgminer 3.0.1
GPU's:  (2) Gigabyte 7970's & (2) Saphire 7970's
Catalyst Version:  I believe it's 12.9 (fglrx 9.0.2)
APP-SDK:  V2.8
ADL-SDK: 5.0

Does anyone know how I would go about setting up my bat file for 2 different cards?  I have a 7950 fully optimized in terms of hash rate but I'm trying to add 3x 6870s into the rig as well.  I have a separate .bat file for the 6870s but I want to know if it's possible to use one profile to mine all 4 cards?  Since the TC for the 7950 is different from the 6870s, is it still possible?

I'm using Catalyst 12.1 and SDK 2.5 and have been very stable for a long time with my "OLD OLD Cards" which are a 5830 and 5770.  If you have installed a later SDK you will have bad results and from what I understand it is very hard to roll back the OpenCL SDK.

I am getting exactly the same error that you are when trying to install for a guy who has 5 HD5870s. No matter what drivers I use I get the same issue.
I have updated OPENCL, SDK, Catalyst to several different versions and I still cannot get CGMiner working with HD5870's. Im hitting a brick wall. Maybe I will need to try his install on Windows (I really dont want to). But if its the only way I can get him mining with these OLD OLD Cards..  It may be his configuration setup with an Intel based Motherboard, I don't know but this install is taking forever.. With HD7950's I can get up and mining in a few minutes.

Here is a link to a hardware comparison chart that I used when selecting my GPU's.  The 2400 is not listed at all.

I'm getting a segmentation fault when I mine FreiCoin in the "http://pool.freico.in:9638" pool.  When I mine BitCoins or scrypt I don't see any issues.  I'm running 3.1.1 that I compiled on a 32bit Debian installation.  This is the same behavior I experienced on 3.1.0.  Hopefully I haven't missing something in the README, this time.

Here's the log:

I am pretty sure dollar for performance the 7950's are one of the best going. However if you can only have 1 gpu the 7990 would be the king.

I am considering ordering one GPU card to replace or add to existing 2400 HD card in my Dell desktop.
I want to use it for scrypt mining (Litecoins, Feathercoins..) Which card would be the best one to get? (I can spend up to $1000) on one card that would be best for the job. Any recommendations?

This is the card I have in my desktop already and I want to do some litecoin and feathercoin mining..

HD5xxx or better for mining. You might be able to get some miner to run on it but why?

Can I use a different miner software or is ATI Radeon 2400 HD Pro not usable for mining at all?

That GPU is not supported.

Hello,
Having troubles with cgminer on my Debian machine. I have ATI Radeon 2400 HD PRO and I installed drivers from the manufacturer and OpenCL drivers too.

I have a question about the API:

The values returned for MHash/s Average on the "summary" and "devs" API calls are not very usable when scrypt mining.

It would be great if the API would return these values with higher precision, like to the 5th decimal place. Is that possible? I guess I could make the changes myself if somebody would point me to the right file(s), so I won't have to read through the whole codebase.

Any help would be appreciated.

nope, not scrypt, diablo...btc mining

Don't specify a kernel at all.
