Topic: OFFICIAL CGMINER mining software thread for linux/win/osx/mips/arm/r-pi 4.11.0 - page 506. (Read 5806088 times)

Just compiled 2.7.4 on my fpga rig.
5xztex + 3xbfl works nice ATM.
Lets see the speed now

Pool info says Stragetgy: failover.
Failover only disabled.
I wonder if the two got backwards.
I am going to try failover only and see if it helps.

Edit: With failover only When issues did come up cgminer more gracefully failed to backup pools. Yesterday when failing back even my local backup pool said it was providing work too slowly. I have tested it by using only that pool and it has always easily kept up. When failing back yesterday it seemed like pools that should and previously had been able to easily keep my one BFL single busy suddenly couldn't. I am unsure if that helps any. Restarting did help avoid the problem until another server error caused  failure. On restart suddenly all pools where alive and I was able to submit shares at a normal rate again. Since the third restart I have not had the issue arise again. Either EclipseMC didn't cut out as bad today or failover only worked far better. My average was still low with failover only, 844 instead of 848-850, but not as low. Test was overly short so it could be that the low average was just from the test being only about 12 hours.

Edit for a question addition:
What is ment by this line in the pool options dialog
0 Rejecting Alive Priority 0 pool user (I am specifically interested in the Rejecting part)?
12 sequential rejected shares.
Trying eclipsmc's difficulty 10 server maybe it will be less likely to reject out.
What would cause it to try that pool again?
Was rejecting when I went to sleep still rejecting when I got up. It is concievable that it came back alive and went rejecting again I don't know if  did.

windows 7 SP1 x64
driver 12.8
DSK 12.7

cgminer 2.7.4 every 5 to 6 hours crash whit this error
back to 2.6.6

I don't have failover only enabled and I'm not getting any leaked shares either.

Hey, whenever I try to write my config on CGMiner, it creates a 0 byte conf file then crashes.
Any reason why?

Tried dynamic mode?

agreed, switching off mining at all, when gaming. Till now it was ok to leave I9 while browsing internet, or wathing movies, 2.7.4 just tikkles my card a little bit more. Still, errors are really rare, so i am not woried so much. Thanks 

If I'm actually using the machine for anything (except gaming) I drop it down to 6.  Realistically my time is more important than 11 shares that could be saved in a 2 hour session.  As soon as I'm done I bump it back to 9.  If if you forget to bump it back up you only lose about 3 or 4% - that's not that important.  At I6 you should be able to watch movies at 1080P without problem (movies don't cut hash rate that much).  The only thing that really needs a lower intensity is gaming.  Even just running around in town in a game like Guild Wars 1 needs I5 or lower to be playable.  Usually I just turn off mining - was getting too many crashes.  There's no point to not enjoy your $400 video card while you still don't have cataracts lol.

Thanks for the answer, i had suspicions about that by myself. Curently using intensity of 9. What is tipycal/best intensity for 7970 while doing something on PC (just web basicly, flash hardware acceleration is turned off) and what would be the best intensity if nothing else on computer is done?

I think ckolivas has said many times that the latest iterations are more aggressive/efficient and hence the GPU is getting even less idling time.  This means any basic rendering it has to do even for web browsing or flash gets squeezed even more.  Either back down your clock rate while surfing or turn down intensity.

Hello

I really like the new version, it is giving better hashrate a little bit on my 7970, now its ~ 685.

Sad thing is that with this new version i starting to see error about driver recovery, when using mozilla firefox with many tabs opened.

Any suggestions? Thanks

Do you have --failover-only enabled? If so, don't, if you want shares to leak.

Well, my other 5870 uses slower memory, and worksize 256 actually makes it faster Which is odd, because in the past I have experimented with different worksizes, but I did not use cgminer then. (The first 5870 does not allow memory downclocking for some reason.)

Anyway, thanks for the quick reply, I'll see if I have any loose change to send you

On network delays 2.7.4 seems to not bleed shares to my backup pool. I am showing 600Mhahs on pool 0 with pool not providing work fast enough. Using a BFL single with 864 bitstream. Not throttling and no HW errors. If the pool it is on is able to handle the load then it will hit 860 and stay at greater then or equal to 859. What can I do to help track it down as an issue with eclipsemc seems to be causing it and it will likely get fixed fast enough?

Edit: stupid question restarted with debug on. Sadly display debug would have likely shown me sooner.
Edt: Edit: Output shows http error couldnt rewind something. errors and rpc errors. Wish I would have grabbed a screenshot as it may be more help.

Noted in the wallet already, thanks! 

2 Bitcoins sent!

Thank you my friend!!

Cheers!
Thiago

You just make my farm grow ~600MHash!! LOL
ASAP I'll send a small donation to you!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

In that case do this first:
export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1
and then you can set intensity to 11 as well

Thank you CK!
I'm a Linux-only guy...

Best!
Thiago

vectors 1, worksize 64, kernel poclbm - these are the defaults it will set if you set nothing and are best for 7970
gpu-memdiff -150, , intensity 9 (11 only on linux)
You cannot set memory to 250 on a 7970 with cgminer, only unofficial overclocking tools on windows can do this.
