i just started cdm 2.3.1 just in education mode, and adter few minutes, it`s like that:
(5s):2113.5 (avg):1970.7 Mh/s | Q:140

i`ll update that post with code of cgminer asap it will pas more than 2h.

Should i say, that no catalyst and no SDK was changed ??
So why newer is worser ?
ATM i`m using SDK2.6 implemented into 12.2 catalyst on ubuntu 11.04 x64

You included CPU mining didn't you?

If not, then try "-D --verbose -T" and also "-n" to see what's unusual about your computer.

Is there a place where i can download old versions of cgminer ?
I dunno what i`m doing wrong, but new 2.3.1 ver. works slower than my old 2.0.6 on my rigs.
Mostly i use 5870/5970.
I`m using just oc parameters, no auto GPU or Auto fan.
I`m planning to buy bigger MB and put somme 7970 into play, but i`m loosing aprox. 150-200Mhash on software... :/
i`ll make somme proof for that - cgminer woriking at least for 2h.

If there is a difference in performance between two version of cgminer then this is caused by one of:
your using different kernels, different SDK or different drivers

When you run the old cgminer it will use the old *.bin that was created with the SDK that was installed back when it created the *.bin file
To see how old the bin files are on linux:
ls -las *.bin
on windows
dir /a *.bin
(or view them in windows explorer)

If your ATI drivers are updated, then if it is e.g. 12.2 then you also now are running SDK 2.6 <- the cause of your problem.

Of course, this is already written in the cgminer README file in the FAQ at the end - look for "my hashrate suddenly dropped"
(FAQ means ... ... Frequently Asked Questions)

Edit: why not use autogpu and autofan?
Unless you have some software monitoring those (and cgminer does it very well) you are risking your cards.

What is "Cubby"?

A piece of software by LogMeIn

Wow - Cubby is in super-secret-internal alpha, pre-announcement and all, I'm surprised to see it show up on Software Informer at all.

Anyway, Cubby was just opening the cgminer executable and that's why AVG is even displaying the LogMeIn product. I could have used Windows Explorer to copy it and then AVG would have shown Explorer at the bottom part. This isn't really relevant.

Quote from: jake262144 on March 22, 2012, 11:21:15 AM

Martona, if you got the executable from Con's homepage, you should be safe.

Yeah that's where it came from, and like I said, I'm pretty sue it's a false positive of AVG's heuristics but I thought it's worth putting it in front of you guys, especially Con.

Anyone know where I can get a Windows binary of cgminer that has support for the Icarus FPGA board activated? I'm not 100% sure if the stock binary on the first post actually has Icarus support activated. I tried to use it and it did not work - did not detect the FPGAs.

poclbm should give you the best performance on a 7970 if using 12.2 and 2.6 SDK
If you are using something else - change to 12.2/2.6

(Installing 12.2 includes the 2.6 SDK)
To select the poclbm kernel you add: -k poclbm

Anybody mind giving me some tips on optimizing my config file? Using 11.12 on Win7 64, with HD 6950 as GPU 0 and 1, and HD 7970 as GPU 2 and 3. So far, using the config below, I get about 400 MH/s from my unlocked 6950s at 920MHz, and about 620MHs from my 7970s at 1100MHz. 400MHs is all I expect from the 6950s, but I feel like I should be able to get 650MH/s from the 7970s, although mine might be running a little slow due to the older driver. Any help is appreciated! Using cgminer 2.3.1-2

Also, does anyone know why cgminer uses 810 watts while DiabloMiner draws only 780? I tried changing intensity down to 7 and that didn't help.

I am supposed to put some switch before the number 4?

Code:

# echo -n "config" | nc -4 127.0.0.1 4028 ; echo
nc: invalid option -- '4'
nc -h for help

Quoting you again

I've put a few commits in my git:
https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer/
that add a simple device history that is accessible via the new API command 'notify'

Compiling my git reports itself as 2.3.1k

You can see it with

Code:

echo -n notify | nc 127.0.0.1 4028 ; echo

The base code change adds a few extra fields and counters to the device structure (that are all reported by the API)
Including: per device: last well time, last not well time, last not well reason, and counters for each of the reasons meaning how many times they have happened (e.g. Device Over Heat count, Device Thermal Cutoff count among others)

Windows binary:

I would assume this is a false positive, but I guess it doesn't hurt to ask official advice. MS Security Essentials didn't pick up on anything but AVG did.

Hi, I'm sure I am doing something really stupid but I can't get my 3x 7970s over 200 MHash/S each.
Running 12.2 driver and the newest version of cgminer.
Is there anything extra I need to do for 7970? I used cgminner for all my other cards. Thanks.

Wow, with that much information I can only suggest that you change ANYTHING, starting with cgminer kernel configuration and ending with the whole OS Roll Eyes

EDIT::In case you missed it, a lot of GCN-related info can be found here and here.

As a follow up... I decided to try a different pool aside from gpumax. I've ran stable with overclocks for about 5 hours now. Seems like some problem with cgminer and gpumax, but only on my 5970 rigs. I have the same version of cgminer running on the same linux version on my two 7970 rigs and it seems to work fine.... so it appears to be isolated to my dual gpu 5970 rigs...

Auto fan control was known broken in the last release of cgminer for 5970 and this was causing problems for people on 5970s with spontaneous restarts due to unexpected overheats. I don't think I released a newer release version with the fix for it. If you download and build the latest git tarball and build from that you can get that fix. Alternatively, disabling auto fan control should have the same effect.

Well you can ignore the -4 option (remove it) - but I guess you must have a really old version of nc?
What does "uname -r" say on that computer? (and what OS version is it?)

Then also the simple check about ADL being enabled - you do see GPU Temp/RPM as you said before?

If you don't have network API access enabled, but do have just --api-listen (like your command line shows) then on each machine:

Code:

echo -n "config" | nc -4 127.0.0.1 4028 ; echo

... and compare all 3 computers.

I'm actually only asking this coz it seems strange that the GPUs are running amok and it really does sound similar to ADL not working.
But of course you have already said it is working but ... well ... that command is another way to verify it.

I guess the other possibility is that when gpumax does let the cards go idle from a getwork perspective of having nothing to do, something in cgminer could be getting confused about the cards status ... but that is just a guess since (as I've mentioned before) I've not looked closely at the internal Driver/ADL code that handles the card status/problems (and I got that idle bit wrong before as ckolivas pointed out)
If I get a chance today to add storing some of that info and making it available in the API I may know a bit more about it then
