Does anyone managed to get decent performance in 7950 for LTC?
I managed to bring stable 280MH / s, but this is unacceptable bit video card in its class.

I'm on windows 7 and cgminer 2.5.0
Should I update to a newer cgminer?
Only if you don't have any BFLs at this stage.Should I update to a newer cgminer?
I don't have any BFL, so I should update to 2.6.1 then?
I'm currently on 2.5.0 I had a bizarre problem while AFK, when I came back my 2 AMD 7950 cards where symmetricaly going from 43-100% gpu utilization.
I switched pool and the utilization went to 100%, I then swiched back to the main pool (which earlier was 43-100%) and now the Main pool is working at 100% again.

Thanks. I just compiled the latest 2.6.1-9 and I'll try to let that run for now.

If you've got the source code for the 2.6.1 test version, I can try compiling it and testing it, if it would be helpful. Otherwise, 2.5.0 seems to work fine, so it's no big deal. Thanks.
Latest source is always here:https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer
There is a button on that page for downloading latest code zipped up here:

Were you on windows 2.6.1 or the cgminer.exe from the test directory?
It was 2.6.1 that I compiled myself for windows from source, with only bitforce support enabled (not the cgminer.exe from the test directory).

I had those errors in 2.6.1 happen again, so I just down-graded to 2.5.0 for now.

I've got mini rigs hanging after some time with cgminer 2.6.1 so I switched back to bfgminer 2.5.1. It does produce almost 1% more rejects (cgminer had almost none 0.07%), but at least it works 
.
No, CGMiner has them - it just hides them from you, along with other shares that would have been accepted....Angry neighborhood bastard mod here.
Go FUD on some other forum, your kind isn't welcome here.
Ckolivas has already clearly explained why it's FUD and you reply with 'no'
Yeah about as intelligent as ... well nothing - no intelligence at all actually.
Please stop proving your a moron in this thread and do it elsewhere.

I was just about to post how I've been running 2.6.1 with my BFL singles for 2 days straight without problem, and then I caught these errors. I restarted cgminer and it's working again for now.
This is almost certainly caused by Kano's reduction of the timeout from 30 seconds to 0.1 second... I skimmed over this one and assumed it was 1 second (which is at least reasonable). Bet this is what was causing the other problems people reported too... thanks for the tip I'll fix it for the next BFGMiner.The value '1' - change it
So if that's the cause of it all as you are implying then you will have a fix ready in a few minutes ...
Anyway,
at least try to understand the old code
On windows it was 30 seconds
On linux is was either 0.1 seconds or never (HANG if BFL didn't reply)
(yeah a bug)
If you entered 'bitforce:' on the front in linux it wouldn't set a timeout (HANG on no reply)
If you didn't put 'bitforce:' on the front in linux, Icarus would set a 0.1s timeout
(bitforce still didn't set a timeout of course but the Icarus one affected the bitforce code)
I changed the code coz whenever it got a comms error, it would hang trying to flush the buffer coz I use 'bitforce:'
(my BFL device is crappy and thus I get to see what happens with a comms error sometimes)

Thanks - although I had to use escaped backslashes, probably because I'm on Windows.

Is there a way to put this command line into a config file?
-S \\.\COM20 -S \\.\COM22
Because every combination that I tried either failed or only detected one of the two ports (like "scan-serial":"\\\\.\\COM20,\\\\.\\COM22", "scan-serial" on two lines with each port etc...)
"scan-serial":["\\.\COM20", "\\.\COM22"] -S \\.\COM20 -S \\.\COM22

One direct cause of the above error is something else sending data on the serial line to the BFL (by accident?)
I've done exactly that and had exactly that error (in my case it never recovered I had to restart cgminer)
I have 2 cgminers running on my desktop, one that mines the BFL and the other mines my 2xIcarus
My Icarus miner does an ident test on all 3 serial port (by my choice) and once (when BFL was running) I got that problem.
The other possibility is that it did in fact timeout (took longer than 0.1s to reply) and thus the actual BFL/serial in now messed up (out of sync) with messages and replies
I'd guess the first one though.

I've only got the 2 BFL singles running on the system, both plugged into a usb hub (with nothing else using the hub). The only other usb device I have on the system is a mouse.
