7970s only support memory 150 lower than engine speed without special tools that have access to unofficial overclocking (and cgminer is not one of those special tools).

I've always kinda wondered why AB can set my mem speed down to 300, but CGMiner can't. Will this be added in the future?

No. cgminer uses the ATI Display Library to do all its manipulations. As you'd imagine, they're all "official" overclocking. Stuff that has unofficial modes pokes into the card in ways that AMD gives no data on, and only works on windows.

Sounds fair enough. Thanks for the info.

Truth is a consensus among neurons www.synereo.com

How much faster will this be for a 5870 or a 6990 than Guiminer running pre-2 Phoenix?

Seems like an awful lot to deal with. Wonder if it's worth it.

Working great, 7970 with flashed Ghz edition vbios at 1220/700, Windows 8, on air cooling (fan @ 100%). 700+Mh/s. Love it. Going to watercool to get to 800+ this week.

Does the Ghz edition bios let you pass the 150 mhz max engine memory clock diff?

Well, I'm not really sure about that - my card seems to report that it's still clocked at 1500Mhz no matter what I set the mem clocks to or what software I use (CCC, Afterburner, Trixx). Trixx seems to think the settings are working, but I'm skeptical. So, my quoted 700Mhz memory clock is what I set it to, but not necessarily what it is running at...

If anyone knows of a way to unlock this Diamond 7970 a little further, I'd appreciate any advice. Especially voltage-wise since I plan to watercool soon and I don't think my VCC settings are taking (according to GPU-Z). It's a pretty cheap card - $399 at newegg after rebate.

Check within cgminer while it's running. It tells you the real "current" settings. It's also why there's a small delay after you try to manually set a value from the menu it will report back the detected settings. 7970s only support memory 150 lower than engine speed without special tools that have access to unofficial overclocking (and cgminer is not one of those special tools).

The best way to monitor real readings is to use GPU-Z

I thought using I higher than 9 makes cgminer load CPU to 100%. How come you run it with I=13?

Is it possible to disable bitforce devices in the same way you can disable GPU devices? I like to run two instances of cgminer so my gpus and singles are seperated by worker. I am able to get around things by running cgminer with gpus disabled first then runing cgminer with nothing disabled. My second instance shows all of the singles as off, which is fine, but I would rather them be removed from the list.

Ah, yes, thanks!

Luke, let me remind you: I'm a mod. Reporting my own comment to me is not an effective way of protesting my relationship with your mother. I'm not sure why you're complaining, its purely business.

Neither of these two examples have the same, copied solution. They were both solved independently in similar ways as they are both soving the same problem. It's no suprise the timing is also similar as these issue are being found at the same time.

I don't know why you're defending his obvious theft. They do have the same copied solution, even if Kano made a poor effort to obfuscate it; while the first one might have only had one or two ways it could be fixed, this last one has numerous possible solutions (the most obvious being significantly better than the one I ended up taking except for making merging from cgminer harder if cgminer hadn't adopted it too); yet in both cases Kano used the exact same solution - only trivial/non-substantial changes to the syntax/names were made.

Neither of these bugs were in fact found in cgminer: the curlring issue was one I experienced myself personally, spent hours debugging, and finally identified a solution for; the only way Kano would have even known it existed was by reading BFGMiner's commit log; the JSON escaping issue only really affect BFGMiner because its compiled-in prefix on Windows uses backslashes.

Look, if you're going to keep this shit up, I and con BOTH will DMCA your existence itself (yes, we will send a DMCA to your mother's womb, the one you presumably slithered out of) if you even think about misrepresenting the copyright or the license of code contained within cgminer.

From that backtrace, it would seem the problem is something to do with TOR - do you have to use it? Could you try without and see whether the crash goes away?

2.6.4 still shows 2.6.3 in the display.

One of my binaries? Which one?

http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/cgminer-2.6.4-x86_64-built.tar.bz2

Thanks. It looks like the code was up to date, but I built it before pulling the version number change on the laptop, sorry about that. Reuploaded packages.

Just download it. Still shows 2.6.3.
