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

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.

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?

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.

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 Wink

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.

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

- Pick worksize 256 with Cypress if none is specified.

I wondered why recent git versions have been slower on my 5870, about 414 vs. 421 Mhash/s. Using worksize 128 brought it back to the old speed. (Using fglrx 11.12 and SDK 2.5)

Yeah sorry, it seemed that most people using 58x0 were using very low memory speeds and 2.1 sdk which does better with worksize 256.

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 Wink

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.

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

Best!
Thiago

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

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

Hi!

Is this the best for 7970's:

Code:

"intensity" : "11",
"vectors" : "2",
"worksize" : "128",
"kernel" : "diablo",
"gpu-engine" : "550-1000",
"gpu-fan" : "0-75",
"gpu-memclock" : "150",
"gpu-memdiff" : "0",
"gpu-powertune" : "0",
"gpu-vddc" : "0.000",
"temp-cutoff" : "95",
"temp-overheat" : "85",
"temp-target" : "75",
"api-allow" : "W:192.168.X.0/24",
"api-listen" : true,
"api-network" : true,
"api-port" : "4028",
"auto-fan" : true,
"auto-gpu" : true,
"expiry" : "120",
"failover-only" : true,
"gpu-dyninterval" : "7",
"gpu-platform" : "0",
"gpu-threads" : "2",
"log" : "5",
"queue" : "1",
"retry-pause" : "5",
"scan-time" : "60",
"temp-hysteresis" : "3",
"shares" : "0",
"kernel-path" : "/usr/bin"

?

Or should I use MEM @ 250 and a different worksize, or is it fine?

Thanks!
Thiago

Pool rotate is broken in 2.7.4 (don't know about 2.7.2/3 was working in 2.7.1)
Have it set up to rotate every 20 mins. All pools are shown as alive, but it hasn't moved off pool 0 for 1h 10m.

Yeah looks like it's off. The new "balance" strategy should have a similar effect in the meantime.
