Topic: OFFICIAL CGMINER mining software thread for linux/win/osx/mips/arm/r-pi 4.11.0 - page 494. (Read 5806088 times)

Crazy!, Im so glad i spent WEEKS on research before i purchased my Non DoubleD XFX7950
Things a beast!, even when heavily overclocked i can gameout on battlefield 3, Intensity will directly change my fps ingame, So running with I:5 gives me a happy 50fps (whatta coincedince)

Keep the monitor plugged in


you might have to build in a delay on starting cgminer so that X can load properly.

Hi all.
I have minning rig on Ubuntu. Autostart is working fine, when monitor is plugged to the system. When I detach monitor CGminer do not start automatically when system starts. What should I do?

because then I couldn't be a cool potplayer user with superawesome madvr rendering

vlc doesn't even have bookmarks, how am I supposed to skip the OP song?

... mplayer ...

Never even heard of madvr. What's wrong with using VLC and just letting your GPU mine?

5850 and I'm using madvr which rapes the shit out of your graphics card just to make things imperceptively smoother

ckolivas website is dead again at the moment .... so ... cut/paste of what I posted before:

Try deleting or renaming your .bin files and rerun CGMiner to recreate them with your current SDK version.

May or may not make a difference.  But it looks like your using the .bin files from SDK 2.4.

What GPU's are you using?

I have mined for a while and I just downloaded and tried CGMiner for the first time in more than a year.  WOW.  That's all I can say.  Ok, I'll say more... amazing, holy cow, omg, try this thing.  Fast... informative... I hear my fans spinning up....  two seconds to set up, I forgot the port number, added port number, they didn't ask me for port number, I digress ... presto.

Impressive, keep up the good work.  Now I try the linux port...

Not good news.  I get a segmentation fault.

I am running  2.6.18-308.13.1.el5 #1 SMP fully updated
Downloaded and installed AMD SDK 2.7 (wasn't working with 2.4 either)
I get the same core dump that I read about earlier in this thread:

I did not see a solution in the thread but will continue to look...

It depends on the 7970 apparently.  I have an XFX 7970 that would just about anything while mining at I:9.  But I have a Diamond 7970 that freezes if I use it on I:9.

What card are you using? I got a 7970 on my main computer, and even with I:9, I can watch movies with no issues.

I've always found that if you increase the intensity of your display GPU above 6, it starts throttling any other GPUs in your system. So I just leave mine at 6 and it's pretty usable.

yeah, but I REALLY would want it to be 7 when I'm away from the computer instead
since I'm running p2pool it's on a single thread so the difference in performance is ~15mhash (5%) between 4 and 7

and I can't even tell the difference when just typing right now, but if I watch a video on 7 everything will be sluggish

Have you tried tweaking dynamic with this?

--gpu-dyninterval Set the refresh interval in ms for GPUs using dynamic intensity (default: 7)

Sam

That's a ckolivas question.
I've never gone near that part of the code - and he's been trying to fix it for a while ...
But ... 4 vs 5 - um - not really that big a deal?

I switched from 2.5.0 to 2.7.5 and now my dynamic intensity is only 4  it used to oscillate between 4 and 5 in 2.5.0 which is obviously higher

any way to specify "dynamic/aggressive" or something so it raises intensity a lot when nothing is happening (when I'm just starting at the screen) but drops it just as quickly when I watch a video or something like that?

For basic support - useful - for ongoing proper support - not much use.
I've already done the basic support, for free, without having a CM1.

CM1's mine (with the Icarus style bitstreams) and can even get the right timing for the different configurations and different FPGA setups (single or pairs - but the code will allow up to 8 )
Oddly - I did all that without even having access to a CM1 - it was all rather logical how it should work so I wrote the code to make it work.
I think it was the idea of Lancelot that made me want to do it - but I don't have one of them either
But even Lancelot mines with the Icarus code.

'When' I get a CM1 I'll then go to the trouble (as I said above) of writing a specific driver for it based on the Icarus code (they will most likely share code) ... until then, it works, it mines, it's good enough.
(and no I'm not looking for ways to spend my free time on something like that without a CM1 )

... that's the polite version

My offer for remote access still stands

When I get one to work out how to access them
Someone offered to send me one ... soon I hope

I will then make a standalone CM driver that deals with some/all of the extra CM only stuff.
