Think for yourself
-I d,9,9,9

You should set the flags as follows :
-I 9 -d 0 -d 1 -d 2 -d 3

For BTC mining keep the memory to 300 should be fine

I think batcoin's Intensity settings are correct.

I've never seen "-I 9 -d 0 -d 1 -d 2 -d 3" for setting intensity.  Does it work for you?  But he still wants one GPU set to Dynamic.

Hello, I have been trying to get cgminer 2.11.3 running today on Xubuntu according to this guide.  I have 3 6970s and 1 5850 on a dedicated machine, but I cannot seem to get all 4 cards running. What seems to happen is that one card fires up and the hashing is reported as coming from all 4 cards but at ~25% of what it should be. I am sure I am missing something insignificant and stupid, but I hope someone here could help me out. Here is my startup command.

./cgminer -o -u -p   -o -u -p -o -u -p -I d,9,9,9 --auto-fan --auto-gpu --gpu-engine 950,950,950,900 --gpu-memclock 850,850,850,300

I am just trying to get my gear a little bit up to date. I have looked through the README and googled for a solution, but I am tearing my hair out because I can't seem to figure this out. Thanks!

You should set the flags as follows :
-I 9 -d 0 -d 1 -d 2 -d 3 --gpu-engine (depending on what you want to set - if 950,950,950,900 works then keep it) --gpu-memclock 300

I want to run cgminer for my ati 5850 and ati drivers 12.8 (i didnt installed any sdk), i try with this bat:

When I installed Catalyst 12.1 for use with my 5000 series cards I had to do a custom install and deselect SDK 2.6 and then manually install SDK 2.5.  So if you didn't deselect the OpenCL SDK then the version that came with catalyst got installed and the post 2.6 versions are terrible for 5000 series GPU.
Sam

I jsut try them with 12.8 and 2.5 sdk, didnt work

Later i try with other ati driver and 2.5 sdk

Hey guys, I just installed 2 7970's yesterday and actually broke my 7950 in the same day... but thats a different story...

My problem is i finally after months got CGMiner to work! Got the AMD SDK and most recent version of Catalyst. However with the 2 cards together each is getting about 380 Kh/s
I took screenshots for your convenience.

If im missing anything please let me know!!

I still have 2 more 7970's and 1 7950 on the way

Hey tiktoc,


Nope it runs dual 5870Ms stock speeds the cards should be getting 150mhash each and OCed 185ish mhash.

bump for help.... when i specify to use one card of the other, it seems only the left card gets used as the right side dosnt even get warm.. not sure if its a cgminer glitch, driver issue or hardware problem :-/ still trying to work it out.

Driver baby.

If it was a driver issue would both video cards show using the -n switch?

Hopefully at least one of these is going to you guys.
I hope so too man. I have not been contacted, but they do have my address. I would not keep it a secret if do receive something.
Here's the answer:

In short, no, I'm not one of the first it seems.
But probably not long after based on this...:

Yes, Conman and Kano should be getting their units next week as well as Bitminter, among a number of others.

anyone got some good settings for HD7970 oc? What kind of hash rate should I be getting ?

Atleast 650 mh.

Grand running fine then, thanks.

Hi guys,

bit of a noob here, just started mining and enjoying it. I recently setup my first 3 rigs with no problem

rig 1 - 4 x 7970
rig 2 - 4 x 6XXX
rig 3 - 2 x 7970

I thought I would try out some 7950 and got 2 with the plans of putting them into rig 3. However I was first testing them by themselves to measure the 2 x 7970 performance vs 2 x 7950.

However one of my 7950's is constantly getting the error AMD driver has stopped responding and has recovered. After that the card goes SICK and gets no mhash, while the other keeps on going.

Here is what I've tried:

- swapped the 2 x 7950 with the 2 x 7970 mobos/OS - the SICK follows the card to a new MOBO / PSU / OS. The 7970's work on either mobo.
- tried the 7950's by themselves - 1 mines fine by itself, the other gets SICK by itself and stops mining. Have also seen the GPU stats change to DEAD. After reboot it will mine again for 10 mins before again changing to SICK.
- Installed 13.3 beta drivers
- installed latest SDK 2.8 I think
- tried mining via 50 miner and guiminer - same thing

thanks for any help!

Just a quick question for a minor still annoying issue  Tongue

every time i run cgminer a file named
poclbm130302GeForce GT 330Mv1w256l4.bin
appears in my desktop.

Is there a configuration to stop this from happening or to move it to another folder?

Thank you.

You could always maximise a window so you can't see your desktop. I don't even know what's on mine...

It will appear wherever you run cgminer from so don't run it from your desktop folder.

I have been noticing my cgminer 2.11.4 has been alternating the order of the cards between my 7850 and my 7970. Refer to my per device logs below. At first I thought it was saying my 7850 was cranking at the 7970 rate, but later I realized that it was just swapping the order of report. Anyone else seeing this? Thoughts on what options I have? I have read the README over and over, and tweaked a number of settings and remapped the GPUs since they were originally flipped. Am running W8Pro, AMD APP SDK v2.7. I've also been seeing cases of driver crash and recovering (mostly as I get aggressive with OC (<7850,7970> --gpu-engine 800-1100,900-1110 --gpu-memclock 1240,1430). My 7850 is on the cooler side of the case and it likes 340-350 MH/s, but my 7970 seems to be wimpy. I am a newb so please forgive any ignorance on my part!

The README needs updated on the display:

The cgminer status line shows:
 ST: 1  SS: 0  NB: 1  LW: 8  GF: 1  RF: 1  WU:4.4/m

Since there is a DW now as well, which isn't listed. It's for Discarded Work per the pool info screen. What does that actually mean though? I have 3 rejected shares, 11 stale submissions discarded due to new blocks, and 5049 discarded work due to new block. But I don't know what discard work actually is. Shares not submitted similar to stales? Or something else?

With 4716 share submissions (3 rejected) at difficulty 2 (so 9426 accepted / 6 rejected at difficulty 1) is 5049 discarded work due to new blocks high? It seems like a big number. Smiley

Thanks.
No you've got it backwards. The DW field is now GONE because it's meaningless so you are running an older version.
